Messiah of Evil (1974) is essential viewing for fans of atmospheric slow burn horror. Moody cinematography, a blood moon, a century oldcurse on a coastal town, the return of a “dark stranger,” possessed ghoulish locals. A nightmarish descent into surreal eerie dread. Some of the most unsettling sequences in horror movies, and a bonafide 70s masterpiece and cultclassic.

While home invasion flicks have existed since the dawn of cinema (see Lois Weber’s Suspense from 1916), the 80s seemed to lean into theidea of apartment invasions and the way they reflected societal unrest. While Tenement(1985), Siege (1983), and Enemy Territory (1987) have a lot in common, they also have widely different styles of approaching the subject.
