As far from frightening as you could get.Every cliche in the book was used to create what was the easily the least frightening film I have ever seen. Don't waste your time with this one its a real dud !!

I fail to see how this movie has as many positive reviews as it does, it was honestly just plain stupid. Maybe standards have become so low for movies these days that people will try to find good in the bad, which I can understand but thisI fail to see how this movie has as many positive reviews as it does, it was honestly just plain stupid. Maybe standards have become so low for movies these days that people will try to find good in the bad, which I can understand but this was another case of unwarranted hype. The tension fell flat due to the extreme unlikeability of the film's protagonists, I didn't care for any of the trio. They were all fundamentally bad people with no little to no sympathetic qualities and their motivations were completely selfish. If you overlook these points then you are left with some empty nastiness Expand

This movie has too many plot holes. It falls flat in all the most important places. You can not suspend your disbelief this long. He could have shot the guy from the beginning.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Am I living in an alternate universe, where everyone has been gifted with sub-moron level IQs? And therefore, films like Don't Breathe are universally praised. Don't Breathe is a massive pile of dung, with awful characters, poor plot and not even a single character to root for. The main woman, who we are supposed to get behind, is an awful thief and Stephan Lang is simply defending his home. It's nonsensical, non-scary and has one okay-ish scene (the turkey baster). Movies these days are awful and Don't Breathe is no exception. Expand

The movie starts well enough, but quickly disentigrates into the type of cheap shock trips that get the high school kids giggling and shouting at the screen. Clearly I'm not the target audience, but I was expecting a more adult-oriented suspense movie. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know I'm gonna be in the minority on this one and I honestly couldn't care less! This film just didn't work for me at all! It wasn't scary at all, nor was it as near as suspenseful as it was hyped up to be, and the characters made really dumb decisions throughout the entire film. And to make matters worse, the entire second half became so scattershot and ridiculous that I was pretty much ready for it to end by the time there was well over a half-hour to go. Overall, I found this to be not only not scary at all, but also completely absurd due to the incompetent characters and ridiculous turn the plot takes in the second half. Once it was revealed that the blind man simply wanted a child after his daughter's death and was willing to rape kidnapped women for one, the film simply lost all credibility with me (I really could've done without that POV shot of him filling the inside of a turkey baster with his own semen, just sayin'!)

the only way this movie could be better is if I was also blind.
the whole film is a succession of stupider and stupider decisions by the main characters...
the best title for the movie is Don't bother!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't like this movie one bit. It's about bad people who bruitize people's house and steal. They pick one wrong one to hit and I can't find my self feeling a bit sorry for the jam they got their selves into. Blind people develop senses to make up for not seeing.but this dude didn't seem to have any of them. He couldn't see you 1 foot in front of his face or couldn't smell them. Makes you wonder how he got that house so together in the first place. Then there was the dude jerking off at the first house and throwing his load all over the floor was just very tacky and completely unnessessary to be in the film at all. Film was totally unbelieveable and you can tell how bad a movie has missed the mark by how many times I'm shaking my head (and I did it a lot). Can't figure out the big craze of this movie. The chick ends up getting away with all the cash, so typical Hollywood. To be honest I thought the movie was total crap. Expand

Why is it that every time a new horror movie comes out, critics and even the audience itself are already prepared to give positive reviews? Horror movies are just basically using the same bait to scare you for immediate cash and Don't BreatheWhy is it that every time a new horror movie comes out, critics and even the audience itself are already prepared to give positive reviews? Horror movies are just basically using the same bait to scare you for immediate cash and Don't Breathe is no different. It follows the many clichés horror movies have been suffering since the elements seen here are no longer fresh and original. You might as well consider seeing something else instead because this is just an outrage in a can. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OMFG, how is this really bad movie have decent ratings, I never felt the need to make a MC account as the ratings have always been good but this is just way too high! this is seriously one of the worst movies I've seen in a LONG time, and I could care less about the twist scene (that I saw coming a mile away why else would he have been pissed that girl died) that has everyone pissed. its just full of plot hole after plot hole with 4 of the most unbelievable characters I've ever seen. I mean the whole night long the house has gun shot after gun shot coming from it but the cops only show up when the alarm goes off, I mean I know Detroit is bad but cops responding to gunshots still happens it just takes an hour or 2. that plot hole is one of MANY, more include bringing a gun because you are afraid of a blind guy, sleep gas not doing a damn thing, that fall not breaking a single bone in that girls body same goes for the nerd and his fall tho he did seem he might have a broken rib or something, dude randomly knows which way to go in a pitch black basement, the basement hatch has cracks in it why couldn't they see that someone was clearly standing right in front of it, did old man even have time to get to the hatch from where we last saw him why did they not hear him walk above them across the house why would he just assume that's where they went leaving every possible other exit free for the taking while following them down would keep all the other ways free and still secure that one, the amount of luck that blind man has is absurd, that or he has echolocation like he is daredevil or something... I mean how does a blind man even abduct someone, clearly that girls fault she got kidnapped. Expand

Absolutely ridiculous, surreal, cheap and pretty girl make it out with pile of cash in the end. Oh yeah baby, I guess this is very american.
The movie has rating R but the target group would be probably 13 years old. If you're really

(Southpark) In other words, what we've got here is just all cliche here with no real substance. No character development starts us off with not caring about anyone in the film. The "twist" is that the villain is blind. I do admit, exploring the concept is interesting, but in the end it felt more like a flimsy gimmick. I found it pretty hard to be afraid of the blind man, even when he had a gun. And I guess it's tradition, but the false ending after false ending really wore on me as well. The movie just isn't what some reviewers think it is. I feel like there's this skewing of perspective in the perception of movies these days. It's like no-one knows what a good movie is anymore. And if anything simply "doesn't suck" then it's given top scores. Our hyperbolic knee-jerk society can't seem to think critically about anything. Or forgets too quickly. Anyway, skip it. Go watch The Witch or something. Expand
