Kuala Lampur, Feb. 13 -- One of the more popular sub-genres in horror cinema is what I often call hostage horror, which usually consists of two variations.

Of course, there are plenty of circumstances that can lead to a hostage situation but the two most popular ones in this sub-genre are the abduction/kidnapping movie (which also includes home invasion situations) and the siege movie.

Popular examples of the former include classics like Misery, Funny Games, The Vanishing, See No Evil and more recent ones like Alone, You're Next and Hounds Of Love.

As for popular examples of the latter, we can include stone cold classics like Assault On Precinct 13, Dawn Of The Dead, Die Hard and newer marvels like The Mist and Attack The Block as prim...
