80's Sci-Fi Movie?

[themanbj01]

I remember watching this movie as a kid in the 80's, so it could be slightly older than that.  All I remember is a family is trapped in their house...if they looked out the windows/doors, all they saw was a silver barrier of some type.  I also remember it getting very hot in the house and certain things melting.  There may have been some type of alien/big brother watching over, but I don't remember.

Thanks for the help

Probably this one:  "Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense: Child's Play"
