How many times have your house
being invaded by stranger?
Thieves and robbers, both of them are most
frequent person who gets into people's houses.
Thieves had entering my house at night once. He went to the inside by passing the clothesline area. This area lies at the top, next to the roof, and ones of open space from many parts of my house.

Imagining how that thief climbs
it from vacant yard behind the house was crazy. He’s surely had firm intention and
being pro's because he should climb for about three meters high in order
to get to that spot…it was something to be prepared even for parkour athletes
or rock climbing though…
I’ve another awkward case of
stranger broken into my house when a beggar suddenly went into the side porch,
where I was sitting there enjoying my morning coffee and me-time of write, the
beggar open the fence latch and walks in like he’s on his own, with funny
alibis saying he already rungs many times but no one comes out to noticed him.
No wonder if no one heard the
door bell because it’s dead from two months ago, I’m so lazy to change the
batteries, but that doesn’t mean he could trespassed just like that, right? That’s
why I kicked him out, with a hard warning to call the cops if he replies the
deed.
Whenever stranger invaded our
house that supposed to be your safe place or sanctuary it brings you trauma,
right? That’s why the law justifies the
killing action by house owner to trespassers who want to rob them in terms of
self defense.
Hostage case on 4 September 2016
at Pondok Indah that runs for approximately six hours and ended with the arrest
of the perpetrators became hits topic in social media, some says that’s first
hostage case happened in Indonesia.
The fact is hostage crime actually didn’t happened for the first time if it’s calculated with trespassing or house robbery cases, considering that might happened when the criminals confine or even killed the residents to eliminated witnesses.

Although it did not describe more
specific, 2014 crime statistics reports conduct by Central Bureau of Statistic
(BPS) shows that the rate of robbery in Indonesia lies in significant numbers
despite the decline from 2011 to 2013, ie 110.481 cases in 2013 alone (Table
4.1 case 84).
This means there are about 302 cases of robbery per day, including breaches of the house, in a year only throughout Indonesia.

With this amount I wonder why
there’s no Indonesian film yet that raised the terror of house breaking as
depicted in Don’t Breathe. This theme is worth mentioning as an alternative to
our horror movies or thrillers as well.

The following 5 movies of house breaking themed which I think should be watched and be a reference in addition to Don't
Breathe, are:
- PANIC ROOM (2002)
It’s very cool
film indeed. It’s not only has original idea about a house that had safe room
for the residence to hide in distress but also filled with super cool casts.

Jodie Foster as
Meg Altman – a single mother of a daughter who has to defend her home, Kristen
Stewart - performing Sarah Altman, daughter of Meg and started to get the
audience attentions which continues to Twilight serial, Forest Whitaker and
Jared Leto - two of the three thieves that broke into Meg’s new house.

The burglars breaking
into the house in order to steal bonds worth US $ 3 million that stashed inside
the house by its previous owner.
Meg and Sarah seem to be the people who are unlucky to be in wrong place and wrong time, but this film teach us to be more careful to lock the house door properly and add it with a padlock, if it’s necessary, before going to bed, especially if we don’t have the panic room to save us from situation that happened to Meg.

- TRESPASS (2011)
Starring by Nicolas
Cagedan Nicole Kidman, the film tells about wealthy couples who have two
children - a girl and a boy - who lived in a mansion, had luxury car, and a safe that contain with diamonds as business commodities of the father who's doing
business as a jewelry merchant.

The hostage act increase its intensity when the couple finally realized
that there had been treachery between them. The marriage that looks nice and
harmonious is nearly through the edge for real when the wife is caught having an affair
with one of the robbers who entered the house while the husband doing cheating arrangement of their fortune from the wife.
Although the
story is interestingly complex in my opinion, it’s unfortunately did not last
long in theaters. Withdrawn after running in just 10 days and lose money
because with a production budget of US $ 35,000,000 but just got revenues of US
$ 24.094 on the other hand. Apparently, the big name of Cage and Kidman can’t
guarantee the success...
- CAPE FEAR (1991)
Collaboration between
Martin Scorsese as Director and Robert De Niro finally met once more in the film that had darker theme than the rest they had produced before.
De
Niro role as Max Cady, the perpetrators of rape who just got out of prison
after serving 14 years of his sentences. Once out of prison, Cady directly hunting a former lawyer, Sam Bowden, who failed in defending his case. He trailed the
activities of Sam and his family until he’s doing his plan in objectives to give lessons to Sam for his failure.

| De Niro play well as sadistic Max Cady |
De Niro makes
huge success becoming horrifying antagonist when he’s doing stalking to
Danielle Bowden, Sam’s daughter, played by Juliette Lewis and gone mad thing
such killing dog and housekeeper of the family in their house then chasing Sam
with his family to their private boat at Cape Fear.
- FUNNY GAMES (2007)
Naomi Watts and
Tim Roth roles as a married couple, with a child, which being held by two
psychopath men in their house.
Many things happened during the captivity, and we had to see scenes that mostly dominated by torturing and brutal acts, especially when it made the audience seeing from the criminal’s point of view who usually stares to the camera while doing the torture.

We must question
our existence because the film makes us, anyhow, a witness of Ann, played by
Naomi Watts, when she screaming and moaning similar to the brutality
of porn movies or to see George, starring Tim Roth, struggles with his broken
bones, or a shotgun blast that killed one of the characters in cold blood.
Michael Haneke
makes a remake of its Hollywood version after he made a film with the same
titled in 1997 for Australian audience.
It’s seems that he’s only to show it as a match to similar films that being hits at that time like Saw and Hostel, which exposing the thrill of people getting killed by people.

- YOU'RE NEXT (2011)
It’s a story of
a family reunion that’s held in a large family house in remote area. The murder carried out by three men with three kind of masks each; the masks of tiger, wolf
and sheep, that killed residents of the house one by one. They cannot escape or
runaway because the entire area of the house has isolated tightly by the masked
men.
The killer
terrorizing the whole family by leaving a note on the wall saying, "You're
next" that taken from the blood of the last victim and anyone should be
ready to become the next because the killers always do what the promise.
One that’s not
expected by the attackers was the present of Erin as the only person who’s able
to survive and finally find out the identity of the masked men and turned to
kill them all.
With a production budget of US $ 1,000,000 the film earned gross revenues of US$ 18,474,268 without installing the famous names. That’s the legitimate magical strength of horror movie…
