Year: 1964
Director: Walter E. Grauman
Plot: Olivia de Havilland stars in this sensationalistic shocker as Mrs. Halyard, a wealthy widow recuperating from a broken hip. Inside her mansion, she becomes trapped between floors in her elevator. She activates an emergency alarm but succeeds only in attracting the attention of the wino (Jeff Corey), who steals goods from her house and sells them to a fence. The wino visits Sade (Ann Sothern), a prostitute, who spreads the plight of Mrs. Hilyard's dilemma to three young hoods, Randall (James Caan), Elaine (Jennifer Billingsley), and Essie (Rafael Campos). The trio follows the wino and the hooker back to the mansion, where they have an orgy, kill the wino, and lock Sade in a closet. Randall taunts Mrs. Hilyard and confronts her with a nasty suicide note from her son, Malcolm (William Swan). Mrs. Hilyard, mustering up her strength, attempts to fight back against Randall and the two other goons. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Body: [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="Risselada"] Emery, you HAVE seen the personal statement that has always been on my profile haven't you? [/quote] Yes of course I have and I have to admit that I thought of you and your brilliant observations while watching The Collector last week. Pancakes, Emery [/quote] Hah, yeah I just read the synopsis for The Collector! Too bad you say it wasn't that good. The first two Home Alone movies were amongst the most watched in my youth and I still like to put them in around every Christmas. It was actually during one of these Christmas parties watching Home Alone that I shouted out suddenly "Ever seen the movie Straw Dogs?" I guess something about how or when I said it was amusing the the company and they would repeat it around me, so I kind of took it on as my catch phrase. The home invasion parts were of course the centerpieces for the Home Alone movies though and every child's delight. Basically it was like the sillyness of a human cartoon, but with all of the human pain. I'm surprised that you made this the weekly topic this week while you are at the same time running your Michael Haneke marathon and didn't even bring up Funny Games! Now that is a home invasion movie if I ever saw one!! Also, I've never seen it, but from what I know about the plot of Panic Room, it sounds applicable too. Has anyone seen it? I find David Fincher to be a capable director, although after seeing The Game I can't say that all of the plots he takes on are that believable. Anyone ever heard of or seen Lady in a Cage? I haven't but I love the idea of the plot.

Body: A good point and a qualified response...my own concept of mortal fear is enclosed, locked-in places. Not because of the claustrophobia so much as the potential of having to stay in there because a couple of desperate men are banging on the door to get in, because you're chained there, because your elevator broke down or because the life of a man depends on you and your decision.It's always been a firm opinion that when you restrict someone to a closed space and limit their options, you create much firmer, visceral tension than chasing them with a power tool. The latter is raw fear, in its basest form. There's obviously nothing wrong with this as I have a website devoted to them: http://www.bloodgutsandgore.com. To the point, however, the raw psychological threat of having not so much your body sought after but rather your mind, you're in deeper trouble than before for this reason: your body conceivably can heal, or at least adjust to, say, lost parts. If someone gets in your head, however, you can't escape them and must take them on if you have any chance to live.Plus, it's narratively leaner than a straight horror flick. When you imprison your cast in a room, or even a house, you limit the number of things you can do, the number of places you can go. Consequently, the setting becomes secondary right fast and the central element, the due focus of the movie becomes the characters and their stories. It's pure storytelling when all you have are 6 or 9 people and four walls that never change (except, maybe, in the case of the Cube series.)
