Why are home invasion horror movies so popular right now?

[KissMeDissME]

iagree with what others have said in that its popular because a lot of people do have the worry of somebody breaking into their house. if somebody does break into your house and you just wake up with them at the bottom of your bed what would you do? where would you go? my phone is always on the pillow next to me like some pathetic female ha but I know if somebody was in my bedroom theyd be able to take my phone off me before id even had a chance to press my phone so the light came on so id be able to phone somebody. its scary because it could happen, freddy coming from my dreams to slice between my legs while im in bed is a little far fetched haha. I really like the whole home invasion films, they do leave me scared and unable to sleep alone and that's the exact point of a scary film isn't it? :D x

I think a lot of people are paranoid delusional right now. Super worried that a black man is going to take away their guns. Lots of crackpot conspiracy theorists out there. This is reflected in home invasion movies.

No idea, and I've watched a lot of them... Perhaps it has to do something with the budget.
