List Of Films Featuring Home Invasions
There is a body of films that feature home invasions. Paula Marantz Cohen says, "Such films reflect an increased fear of the erosion of distinctions between private and public space... These films also reflect a sense that the outside world is more dangerous and unpredictable than ever before." Home invasion films are commonly Thriller (genre), thrillers and horror films. The home invasion subgenre goes as far back as D. W. Griffith's 1909 film ''The Lonely Villa''. Note: this list only covers films containing actual or attempted home invasions, and does not include movies based around assaults on other places such as ''Assault on Precinct 13 (1976 film), Assault on Precinct 13'', which dealt with a police station being invaded, or intrusion under false pretenses, such as ''Orphan (2009 film), Orphan''.

Review Aggregator
A review aggregator is a system that collects reviews of products and services (such as films, books, video games, software, hardware, and cars). This system stores the reviews and uses them for purposes such as supporting a website where users can view the reviews, selling information to third parties about consumer tendencies, and creating databases for companies to learn about their actual and potential customers. The system enables users to easily compare many different reviews of the same work. Many of these systems calculate an approximate average assessment, usually based on assigning a numeric value to each review related to its degree of positive rating of the work. Review aggregation sites have begun to have economic effects on the companies that create or manufacture items under review, especially in certain categories such as electronic games, which are expensive to purchase. Some companies have tied royalty payment rates and employee bonuses to aggregate scores, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
