Aussie boy's thoughts

An intelligent blind man cleverly tackles three greedy thieves in this deeply uncertain, suspenseful and vicious horror movie. Thriller fans will adore every unique detail surrounded by heart-clenching soundtrack and sustained twists in Don’t Breathe, leaving us with a churning stomach.

Thanks to the clever plan designed by Fede Álvarez, the storyline succeeds to engage us before tossing us into the gripping and shocking game of ‘cat-and-mouse’. Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette and Daniel Zovatto stage menacing thieves who target a blind man, who they underestimate and become the scared aim of their prey. Stephen Lang is clearly very good here as well.

There’s tension, violence and scares, so it’s a great selection for horror fans. However, Don’t Breathe follows the kind of style that’ll definitely bore many. Audiences who anticipate a full-on exciting and uneasy feeling of dread will encounter just that! It’s easy to understand why some people won’t enjoy the type of suspense in Don’t Breathe, as it really is just the excitement of people being hunted by a capable blind person and that tensity can be slow. But it lives up to its name and is efectively-crafted.
