Home invasion movies
Home invasion horror removes the one thing every other subgenre lets you keep, which is somewhere to go. The house is the whole map, the people outside know it better than you do by the second act, and help is a phone call that does not connect.
It is a young subgenre and the modern shape settles in the 2000s. Them put a couple in a remote house with masked attackers two years before The Strangers gave the premise its cleanest line, and Funny Games had got there a decade earlier and considerably angrier, with as much attention on the audience as on the family.
The best of the rest complicate the geography. You're Next hands the house to someone far better prepared than anyone expected, Hush makes its protagonist deaf and unable to call out, which gains tension rather than losing it, and Don't Breathe inverts the whole thing by making the intruders the protagonists.
