When it comes to horror movies I’ve never really liked the ones that are “serial killer(s) pick a random house to torture the people inside” because I need a horror movie with a villain I can really get into and I just am not into the “oh we do it just for fun” villains
However, I do want a movie where you have a group of people doing that, going up to a house in the middle of nowhere that they found. No internet coverage, no cell coverage, totally isolated
Except the reason the family is out there is they’re doomsday preppers who have basically created their entire home for them to be able to fight off unwanted intruders
You got weapons hidden absolutely everywhere, secret tunnels and passageways, booby traps in the house. Because then I can watch the annoying trope I don’t like get turned around into a “I’m not stuck in here with you, you’re stuck in here with me” but with absolutely wild people who are weird as hell because they haven’t socialized in years and have only been practicing doomsday prepper versions of survival
“Don’t Breathe” did it a little with the concept of breaking into the wrong house, but the people breaking in are still the protagonists and they were only there to steal and it’s revealed at the end that he’s bad and so deserved it
And “The Purge” a bit with the houses designed for people to kill invaders but I don’t want to see rich people vs rich people in a mansion, I want that secluded farm house where you have nothing but field and trees for miles and I want Cousin Eddie from the National Lampoon movies and his wife and kids absolutely blasting these people who thought they were so badass and now are being picked off by a 12 year old with a 12 gauge shotgun
So yeah take bits from those two movies and mix it with “Tucker and Dale vs Evil”
