Wait Until Dark
This is one of the original home-invasion movies, and it even earned Audrey Hepburn an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress — a rare feat for a horror film.

Criminals show up at the Hendrix home to retrieve the doll but find that it’s been misplaced. This leads to a game of cat-and-mouse as Susy fights off the attackers alone in her apar...

Conrad takes drastic measures to try to get to the bottom of what his patient (Brittany Murphy) knows and why people are so desperate for the information.

When Mitch tracks her down again and again, Slim realizes that the only way this will end is if she can stand up to him herself. After spending time gaining strength and training in hand-to-hand combat, Slim breaks into Mitch’s house and confronts him and the two fight to the death.
