A monument to irrelevance.

I don't understand how the original film spawned a sequel.
I mean, I get it from the monetary aspect, but I'm quite shocked by the fact that Stephen Lang's character ended up becoming the lead.
Is it that the writers and the public forgot that he was the bad guy? And that he really was a bad guy.

Don't Breathe 2 tries too eagerly to make you believe that the once criminal should now be recognized as an anti-hero.
And you know what, that element might have been more plausible if it weren't for the fact that in trying to do so, the writers sacrificed any attempt at an intelligent suspense, like in the original, for a rancid movie that mixes thriller with action, spiced up with an incredibly forced plot device.

A total disappointment. I'm not surprised though.

Don’t Breathe was a film about a blind man who fights off a home invasion, well apparently some genius decided this movie needed a sequel. For anyone wondering I can safely tell you that Don’t Breathe did not need a sequel and there isDon’t Breathe was a film about a blind man who fights off a home invasion, well apparently some genius decided this movie needed a sequel. For anyone wondering I can safely tell you that Don’t Breathe did not need a sequel and there is absolutely no point in Don’t Breathe 2 at all. None.

Set a few years following the home invasion, Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) lives a quiet and isolated life until his past catches up to him. The first thing to note is Don’t Breathe 2 is rated 16 for a reason, the fight scenes are brutal and gory. But that’s about all it has going for it, the gore. I loved the first film but this doesn’t come close, not everything needs a sequel but it seems some films need to learn that lesson the hard way. This had none of the horror and suspense of the first film. You’re not on the edge of your seat holding your breath, you’ll instead find yourself slumped in your chair, bored and glancing at your watch waiting for this ordeal to be over. And in proper horror movie fashion you’ll think it’s finally over only to have an “oh wait it’s not quite over yet” moment. Taking Lang’s character and half-heartedly attempting to turn him into some sort of anti-hero did not work at all. Another issue is because most of you will remain disinterested and bored you can’t help but feel many of the injuries sustained by the main characters don’t stop them from getting back up again like cartoon characters and carrying on as if nothing happened. Yet the same or lesser injury will happen to a clearly disposable character only for it to be more than enough to keep them down or kill them. This is not the kind of thing I should have been thinking about or noticing but I couldn’t help it I was not invested in the film at all which left me with plenty of time to overthink everything. I’m not going to criticise the acting. It’s not their fault to be honest, they’re doing the best they can with what they were given. The film shouldn’t exist and the story doesn’t work on any level, there’s really no getting away from that.

Don’t Breathe 2 is nothing more than a cash grab. I’m all for supporting cinemas especially during this difficult time but believe me when I tell you there are better films out right now that you should see instead. Not recommended, unless you’ve absolutely nothing else to do and you’ve seen all the other movies in the cinemas then by all means go ahead.

Not only is this a far fall from the original's brilliance, this isn't even a good movie, period. The plot is so full of holes the only scary thing about it is if you have Trypophobia (look it up).

Una secuela entretenida, pero innecesaria e incluso llega a ser genérica, lo que le sigue en la segunda mitad parece rebuscado e irrelevante.

Except for a cash grab, there's absolutely no reason for this movie to exist. The original was a late summer surprise and a great follow up to the director's Evil Dead reboot which indicated they were not a flash in the pan. And I get it. ItExcept for a cash grab, there's absolutely no reason for this movie to exist. The original was a late summer surprise and a great follow up to the director's Evil Dead reboot which indicated they were not a flash in the pan. And I get it. It takes the idea of sympathizing with a criminal (or as in the first, criminals), by setting them up against someone worse. The getting there is absurd and just non sensical. It's one thing for a blind person to get the upper hand in their OWN HOME, it's another when they seemingly have supernatural skills in unfamiliar surroundings. Stephen Lang is very good again and technically the film looks good, but the plot is just plain nuts. Skip it and just rewatch the original. Expand

If you liked first one then I think you will like this one too. Was a nice watch, not fully sure if worse or better than first one, it depends at what aspects you look.

It might not be necessary to bring Jane Levy back, but Don't Breathe 2 was a semi-failure considering how good the first one was.

Para mí, totalmente impopular, me funciona mejor que la primera parte. Sí, tiene más chicha, me interesa más, me interesa saber el por qué de las cosas, la primera me pareció más trivial.
Tampoco es que sea un gran salto, ni mucho menos, pero me llamó más la atención, deja unos buenos momentos y situaciones para el recuerdo, mérito a las ideas del guion.
También te digo, podría haber sido una peli independiente y no la secuela, porque se distancia mucho de la primera parte.

· Cosas buenas: Las ideas interesantes del guion, las interpretaciones, sobre todo Stephen Lang, el ciego. Y además, es juguetona, tiene situaciones muy buenas.
· Cosas malas: Esas ideas interesantes se transforman en decisiones algo random de guion, y lo dicho, pierde la esencia respecto a la primera, demasiado caótica.
· Conclusión: Seguramente para la mayoría sea peor que la primera, porque no mantiene los estándares, pero si no te funcionó demasiado la primera, esta es más indagadora en las situaciones, y puede que te guste más.

disappointing compared to the first one, the movie has driven away from its title and from what it was made initially to be which is a Horror movie, this one is more of an Action movie than Horror, however, it's not a bad Action movie.

I don't know why they made a sequel to this movie and turn the villain into a hero and a family man lol, the writers ruined it and the story is all over the place.

please don't make a third sequel to this movie this is not going to be good, and should have stuck to the first one only.

J'étais très excité de voir ce film et j'ai été très déçu de le voir.
Ils avaient tout pour être meilleurs que le précédent et ils n'en ont pas profité.

Aside from the film looks like it wants to spray blood on your face, Don't Breathe 2 is still a well thriller.
