In Suddenly (1954), Frank Sinatra plays an assassin who takes over a family's home as a venue to target the President of the United States.

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."[1] James Swallow, covering the 2002 film Panic Room, said that the subgenre of home invasion thrillers goes back to the 1950s and 1960s with films like The Desperate Hours and Wait Until Dark.[2]
