You can stream The Threat (1966) on ARROW with a subscription.

Two escaped criminals who kidnapped a baby break into the house of Misawa, a man who works in an advertising agency and lives quietly with his family. They will force him to collect the child's ransom for them.

A suffocating sense of dread permeates this domestic space as two fugitives transform a quiet home into a claustrophobic prison. The tension builds through agonizingly slow pacing and the terrifying vulnerability of an ordinary family caught in a criminal's orbit.
