Welcome to the forum
I can't stand home invasion movies. I don't really think they're too popular but with The Purge and You're Next out recently I can see the thinking there.
I think it has to do with the fact that (with the exception of The Purges silly but interesting premise) a home invasion movie is completely possible. Plus you're being attacked somewhere you're supposed to feel safe which really amps up the fear.
That being said I find most of them boring and cliche.
