Lock your doors because shit is about to get real with Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks as it's time for the Halloween edition, and the theme for this first week of October is home invasion, probably the most varied horror/thriller subgenre.
Hush (2016)
A deaf writer (Kate Siegel) who lives alone in a house in the woods must fight for her life when a masked stranger (John Gallagher Jr.) appears at her window with only one thing in mind, killing her. I picked this in the past and I'm picking it again because it's sooo good and fits the theme perfectly.mother! (2017)
A young woman (Jennifer Lawrence) and her husband (Javier Bardem) are living a happy and peaceful life at their country home. Then one night a stranger (Ed Harris) knocks on their door and brings havoc into their lives. I hated this movie, every second of it --Lawrence and Domhnall Gleeson give good performances though--, but when I think of home invasion this is the first that pops into my head.It's that time of the year when all crimes are allowed, so the Sandins lock themselves inside their house and plan on following their usual routine. But nothing goes as it's supposed to do and a group of masked people tries their best to break-in and kill them all. Not the best of the series (I still haven't seen this year's flick), but it's fine.
