Review of Don't Breathe (2016) by Thequietgamer — 30 Dec 2016
A unique concept that's excellently capitalized on. While you aren't able to get emotionally invested with the characters, the inventive scenarios make for a tense viewing experience. The result is one satisfying thriller.
Things get way more deranged than you would expect. In their attempts to make some easy cash these robbers not only get more than they bargained for with a surprisingly lethal old, blind man, but they also learn he's got some twisted secrets well. It's also a very violent movie, but that was to be expected.
Fede Alvarez delivers a very satisfying follow up to his Evil Dead remake. They are both wildly different movies, but how the same level of talent and inventiveness. While the movie stumbles a bit with it's characters and plot, it more than succeeds well enough in tension and action to make for a very satisfying horror-thriller.
