Hider in the House (1989)

Nomination Year: 1998

SYNOPSIS: Gary Busey plays Tom, a recently released psycho who seeks a stable home and family. Unfortunately for Mimi Rogers, her husband, and her kids, Tom wants theirs. He enters their house as it's being constructed and designs for himself a secret room in their attic, where he lives with them undetected for months. People who bother his "family" suddenly go missing. Things quickly come to a head when, as his desire for the wife grows, Tom decides to bump the husband out of the picture and take over the family himself.
