Ils (2006)

"Ills" aka."Them" is essentially the French version of the movie "The Strangers". It's all about a couple who live in a gorgeous house out in a wooded area who become the targets of a group of hooded individuals intent on inflicting harm. Both movies relish in the suspense they create and the build upon the feelings of helplessness and desolation throughout the film. In "Them", the couple are able to hurt, perhaps kill, one of their assailants before trying try to escape from the house. They eventually discover who is trying to kill them and the fact that the killers are played in a straight, non-unrealistic manner makes them come across as truly scary.
