Barbarian, starring Georgina Campbell and It's Bill Skargård, is now playing in theaters. Bolstered by superb reviews from critics, the film opened above expectations to the tune of $10 million domestic, per Box Office Mojo. But similar movies in the "home invasion" subgenre have been going strong since the 1960s.

Furthermore, it's expanded from its typical horror/thriller genres to embrace everything from holiday classics such as Home Alone and The Ref to the crime films Becky and Windfall. Which of them are worth watching, according to Redditors?

Wait Until Dark (1967)

Roat tries to strangle Susy in Wait Until Dark

For whatever reason, Hollywood hasn't made a big-screen Audrey Hepburn biopic, and while films like Charade and Breakfast at Tiffany's showed a side of her that audiences know well, Wait Until Dark was brand new.

In fact, the film still feels at least somewhat modern, even 55 years after its release. It's a genuinely well-made, well-acted thriller that has Hepburn's presence matched by a never-more-sinister Alan Arkin, who also shines. It's solid all around or, as Mprovin put it: "Wait Until Dark is a rare movie everyone should see."

Straw Dogs (1971)

Not Available To Rent Or Stream

Dustin Hoffman with a gun in Straw Dogs

In Straw Dogs, a fresh-faced Dustin Hoffman portrays introverted intellectual David Sumner. He and his English wife Amy leave the U.S. and head to her hometown, yet David is greeted with far from open arms. Soon, Amy is sexually assaulted, and the pacifist in David is replaced with someone who can get vicious to defend his love.

Redditor amanobsessed started a thread to call Straw Dogs "one of the most widely misinterpreted masterpieces of all time." They then elaborated on how the film made them feel which, unsurprisingly, is how the 1971 original strikes most people; Specifically, the film "Rattled" them to their "core."

Cape Fear (1991)

Max Cady leaning back while in the front seat of a car in Cape Fear.

Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear (a thriller that's basically a horror movie) isn't quite one of the auteur's most noteworthy films, but it is well-acted and often chilling. It also adheres quite a bit to both the story beats and style of the 1962 film, led by Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck (both of whom make role-reversed cameos in Scorsese's remake).

Ceasarsean wrote that they "really enjoyed" it. The Redditor then noted that they took in the Mitchum-Peck original as well, yet they "enjoyed this one more...The ending credits [are] so eerie." Both are moody and effective films, and while there is an argument to be made that Scorsese emulated the original film to too significant a degree, it's still a more effective emulation than Gus Van Sant's later shot-for-shot remake of Psycho.

The Ref (1994)

Stream On Hoopla

Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey, and Judy Davis in The Ref

A now-deleted user started a thread for the Denis Leary-led holiday B&E minor classic, The Ref. The Redditor wrote that both Leary and Kevin Spacey were "fantastic in it."

Then the Redditor then brought up a very accurate point: "Spacey was very much on his way to playing Lester in American Beauty and was just perfect as the unhappy husband." It's true, American Beauty's main character, Lester Burnham, and The Ref's Lloyd Chasseur are both very despondent men but (all personal faults aside) Spacey makes them both seem very individualistic.

Funny Games (1997)

Stream On HBO Max

Peter and Paul sitting with the family in their house in Funny Games

Michael Haneke's Funny Games has a horrifyingly straightforward plot because there's nothing that couldn't happen in the reality everyone exists in. Two 20-somethings break into a relatively affluent family's vacation home. Then, they engage in a series of escalating, sadistic mind games.

Redditor tdvh1993 started a thread and picked apart the acclaimed film's appeal in depth. The highlight: "Haneke set out to make a point about our love for violence and I think he did on hell of a job."

Lakeview Terrace (2008)

Stream On Starz

Abel talking to Chris and Lisa in Lakeview Terrace.

Lakeview Terrace is a fairly standard thriller, with an escalating tension that just about strains credibility. Samuel L. Jackson portrays LAPD cop Abel Turner, a single father who's just gotten some new neighbors. Unfortunately for him and his worldview, his new neighbors are a mixed-race couple. After they make out in a pool and his kids see, Abel begins acting irrationally, though he's obviously not quite rational from his first frame on screen.

Abel often seems more like a caricature than a character. Life is filled with racist people, but the long shots of Jackson peering condescendingly the moment the couple pulls into the driveway don't allow for much character building. He's already revealed himself. But Redditors like walklikeaduck enjoyed it, who wrote that "It's a pretty entertaining thriller, with some good performances and Samuel L. Jackson doing some great angry acting."

The Last House On The Left (2009)

Rent On Amazon

Two men and a woman grab a scared young man in The Last House on the Left

A very solid remake of one of the best movies like Ti West's X, the 2009 version of The Last House on the Left is a slightly tamed down but still more-than-suitably-tense journey down the path of vengeance and suffering. But it's also well shot and extremely well cast, and if anything the taming down is beneficial. The film is far more accessible to the general audience, including Redditors.

Like playboyslife, who started a thread on the film and compared it favorably to Wes Craven's 1972 original: "I liked it [the 1972 original], just finished watching the 2009 version and I LOVED it, I might even go as far as saying it's better than the original and a lot more satisfying." The latter point is interesting, as it's arguably a slight against the film. The original took some gargantuan risks and the fact that it played on even one screen is surprising, while the latter is a fairly standard horror remake among the glut of them that came out during the aughts. But it's one of the best of them, and its reputation has remained strong.

You're Next (2011)

A girl with an axe in You're Next

An excellent home invasion horror movie, Adam Wingard's You're Next is shocking even for those who have already seen it. The plot centers on the Davisons, an affluent family with a vacation home in Missouri. Joining them for the weekend is Erin (Sharni Vinson), the girlfriend of Crispin Davison. Unfortunately for Erin and the Davison clan, they're being picked off one by one, and it may well be an inside job.

Redditor SirHuffDaddy couldn't have spoken more highly about the film, writing that they had a "blast." They elaborated on their experience watching it in a group, noting that it made them "scream, and jump, some with joy, others with fear." You're Next is one of several home invasion movies that blends genres; For the most part, it's definitively horror, but it does possess a humorously self-aware quality.

Knock Knock (2015)

Keanu Reeves in Knock Knock (2015)

Eli Roth delivered his best film to date with 2015's Keanu Reeves-starring Knock Knock. Featuring commanding supporting performances from A-list Knives Out star Ana de Armas and Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood's Lorenza Izzo, the film puts Reeves through his paces even more than if he were cast as the MCU's Wolverine.

A now-deleted Redditor started a thread to champion Roth's film, writing that "the strength and necessity of [the film's] social commentary is painfully evident...this movie really pi**es people off...." Indeed, the movie is divisive, but when someone vouches for Knock Knock they go all the way.

Parasite (2019)

The Kim family huddled in Parasite

Bong Joon-ho's Parasite was heralded as a modern classic from the moment it hit the big screen. Naturally, what followed was a massive financial success, accolades from critics, and a host of Academy Award wins. The film is a scathing, tongue-in-cheek look at the class system, with twists so well-executed they're surprising on repeat viewings.

AudioCinematic started a thread to write that Parasite is one of the greatest movies they had ever seen. They said that there are "times when it's laugh out loud comedy and other times when it's stomach-turning and on the edge of your seat suspense."
