The Home Invader 5

Emily is a charismatic and beloved social media influencer getting ready for her next stream and putting the final touches on her cozy room. She invites her followers to an interactive livestream where she will finish putting on her makeup and choose an outfit for the evening. She sits down at her desk where she has a streaming camera set up and puts the final touches on her nightie outfit before going LIVE. Emily begins the evening with her usual charm, engaging her loyal audience by letting them vote on her lipstick color. The chat buzzes with enthusiasm and inspiration for the cute influencer, and the vote picks Red for her lipstick color. Emily applies the lipstick and continues to interact with her audience, but is disturbed when a user with the name Watching_U sends creepy messages in the chat. Emily ignores them at first and moves on with the show. She takes her livestream camera to the bed where she has five lovely dresses that were gifted by a fan, letting the chat decide what she should try on for a fashion show. Emily shows off each of the dresses for the chat to pick between and compares them against her nail color and jewelry.

Emily moves back to her desk in order to check out the chat and sees that Watching_U user has been posting more creepy comments. She blocks the user to stop him from posting and moves on with the chat. Emily brings the camera back to the bed and goes through the dress options again, but while she is yapping away a masked intruder has made his way into her room and lurks behind her. The lighthearted atmosphere shatters the moment Emily is startled by the man behind her and drops the livestream camera to the ground. She puts her hands up defensively and tells the intruder to get out of her room but he just laughs her off and tells Emily that he is her biggest fan. Emily is terrified as the man slowly steps towards her as she hopes she can still tell him off without an incident. Instead the intruder slaps Emily across the face and sends her reeling over the desk. She calls out for help from the audience watching when she gets yanked back by the intruder and pushed over to the wall where she struggles against him. The masked man holds his hand around Emily’s neck and squeezes hard while she struggles. Soon he pushes her hard again causing her head to bash against the wall. Emily falls to the floor knocked out cold while the intruder holds on a few moments longer.

After confirming Emily is KO’d the intruder steps to her bed and tosses the dresses which were lovingly presented there for her stream. He drags Emily’s body over to the bed and hoists her on top of it. Then he grabs the livestream camera from the ground and lifts it towards his masked face, waving to Emily’s fans who are stunned by the change in tone from when the livestream started. He moves the camera close to Emily while he moves around her arms and touches her face. The man removes a roll of duct-tape from his bag and binds Emilys hands behind her back while the chat continues to watch and comment. The audience’s reaction is a chaotic mix of disbelief, concern, and pervers fascination with some thinking it to be an elaborate stunt and others revel in Emily’s helplessness, encouraging the intruder to continue his twisted performance. After binding Emily’s hands the masked man puts the livestream camera on the side table to capture everything that unfolds next. He flips Emily on to her back as she wakes up. He taunts her while holding her down, professing himself to be Emily’s number one fan and reveals his obsession with her. For months he has followed every aspect of her life that she posts online, consuming her content and fantasizing about this moment. He declares that tonight he will make them both stars by creating a disturbing new viral video featuring her demise.

As the masked man adjusts the livestream for a better angle, Emily stands up from the bed and tries to make a run for it. The man grabs on to her quickly and they struggle while standing for a brief moment before he throws her down back on the bed and holds his arm around her neck in a chokehold. Emily cries and screams in terror while the intruder holds her down tightly. She opens her mouth wide and bites down the man’s arm that has her captured in a chokehold but he keeps hanging on. She kicks and wriggles trying to slip away, hitting at the attacker behind her with her hands duct-taped together. After a prolonged struggle Emily manages to break her hands free of the duct-tape binding and hits at the attacker more directly. She manages to stand and try to escape but again he quickly catches her and throws Emily back onto the bed, this time with both his hands tight around her neck choking her while he stands over her and keeps her down with all his strength. Emily fights desperately to survive but the intruder’s strength and determination overwhelm her. She is unable to catch a breath while he holds her down choking her with both hands. As the livestream captures every second, Emily eventually succumbs to his brutal attack. While Emily is still begging for mercy, the attacker repositions them both so she is facing directly into the livestream cam while he brutally snaps her neck with a loud crunch. The livestream continues as Emily is killed and she falls back onto the bed twitching. The masked man catches his breath then moves the livestream camera over to gaze over her lifeless body. He addresses the horrified audience with a chilling farewell before terminating the livestream. He gives a last look at Emily’s body and eyes open in a frozen death stare, then he moves the blanket over her body and makes his escape.
