Some of the ones you list I really wouldn't count like Halloween. Its not that this is a genre set in stone but I always consider it 'Home Invasion' when the Invaders take control of the residence and victims (who in turn escape/turn the tables etc etc). That just my opinion.

Oh I quite liked Death Game and the Desperate Hours remake when I saw it at the time.

I guess you could add Tenement to the list.

And yeah...I agree with Ferox & ZD. Films like Halloween & Black Christmas actually least treated as Home Invasion films as their premise or storyline actually has very little to tag under Home Invasion category. I just added them as I saw this famous slasher titles in some other list of Home Invasion films.

I intentionally not included Trespass as I thought it is quite inferior than the above listed films; more like a loose remake of Kidnapped (2010).
