And while I was sort of right with the gimmicky"Don't Breathe" was actually one of the most surprising movies for me this year. When I originally saw the previews, I thought this looked like a gimmicky movie that wouldn't amount to much. And while I was sort of right with the gimmicky part, the movie overall is a tense experience that many people will enjoy. However, the movie fails in certain aspects that I just can't get over.

The story is rather simple: three friends go around robbing houses to get money. Our main character, Rocky, and her boyfriend, Money, are trying to get money to leave Detroit and move to California. Their friend Alex helps them by getting the keys to the houses since his dad works for a real estate company. One day, Money gets a tip that an old blind man has a large settlement in his home, so they decide to rob him thinking it will be an easy score. This of course starts our movie experience as the old blind man is more capable than we think he is. Before I get into my complains, let me tell you what this movie gets right.

By far the best part of this movie is the atmosphere. At first I thought the setting of just the house would get boring, but it actually added to the feeling of claustrophobia in the film. Each scene with the blind man and the main characters is tense and heart pounding, especially later in the film. There's some great sequences where the blind man will be chasing or hunting down the robbers that makes your heart pound.

The writing too is very solid and believable, at least for the main characters. Some characters like Rocky's mom and her boyfriend Money have lines that feel somewhat cliché and forced. However, the main trio of characters (that being Alex, Rocky, and the blind man) have great dialogue and interactions with each other that feels believable.

Cinematography is also solid overall. While the film doesn't take many risks with it's cinematography, it still helps add to that overall tense and scary feel that the movie is going for.

Where the movie start to fall apart for me is the overall story and twists. I won't spoil them here, but the movie does awful with the suspension of disbelief. Theres moments where you'll say "oh they're dead" only for the character to get up and start running as if nothing happened at all.

But by far the biggest complaint I have with the film was the way in which they try to make you dislike the old blind man. See, when thinking about the concept as face value (that being three people robbing a blind man), you wouldn't really feel much sorrow for the three robbers as what they're doing is an awful thing. However, the film does several things to make you afraid and dislike the blind man. Now I won't spoil it here, but I will say that these twists felt forced. You could tell that the writer knew that they had to make the blind man unlikeable, so they threw these twists in there to make him so.

In summary, "Don't Breathe" is not a bad movie. Not at all. But the movie has fundamental problems with it's story and plot that I just couldn't really see myself watching it again. While it does have good acting, solid dialogue and good cinematography, the ridiculous suspension of disbelief and messy twists hold this movie back from being the next great horror film.… Expand

Les ficelles sont classiques mais bien ficelées ici et puis la blondinette aux yeux bleus est vraiment ravissante : elle ressemble à Reese Witherspoon avant qu’elle ne commence à se rabougrir mais ici en plus jolie ! elle s’appelle Jane Levy et j’en prends bonne note. En outre, la réalisation est fort bien faite tandis que le rythme ne faiblit pas, du début à la fin… malgré quelques rebondissements discutables.

Mais ce qui est plus discutable concerne le vétéran lui-même, âgé mais encore costaud et qui a plein de flingues dans la maison (paranoïaque le vieux soldat, ouais, ouais, ouais…) : il en fait voir de toutes les couleurs à ces vilains voleurs… malgré son handicap. Oui, c’est sévèrement tiré par les cheveux tout ça… voire burlesque. Mais ça reste divertissant.… Expand

Don't Breathe's greatest accomplishment; making a blind war vet into a kidnapping and murdering rapist (yes, he is a rapist) is also its rather egregious fault. Its scary alright.

Even the main bad guy was cool. The plot was good. The only thing I had a problem with was the last 20 minutes or so of the movie, which although good, felt like they just might not have happened if the main character had done a few things a little differently beforehand, and it was like they just wanted to stretch the movie out a bit. Otherwise, for me, an above average film that I would probably only recommend to fans of the genre.… Expand

En general está guay, tiene plots interesantes, pero no deja de ser una peli slasher "sencillita" que transcurre en una casa (la novedad), está guay, pero ya.

· Cosas buenas: El montaje es lo que más sorprende, además el cómo han aprovechado el espacio, el escenario, porque recordemos que poco más hay que una casa, tanto en cuanto a cámara, en los movimientos que hace (se sacan algunos planos secuencia chulísimos) como en cuanto a narración, yo como espectador vi difícil desarrollar algo tanto tiempo en tan poco espacio, pero vaya que sí da. Además, me gustan las sorpresas en cuanto a la premisa, la atmósfera que crea en la mayoría de la cinta, sumadas a la dirección artística y fotográfica.
· Cosas malas: En ciertos momentos es algo predecible, y luego, dentro de lo que cabe, es una película bastante sencilla, no es demasiado original vaya.
· Conclusión: Es una película competente y efectiva, funciona, sobre todo por la gran atmósfera que crea, y te lo pasas bien, no llega a ser terror terror, pero podría encajar en el género, una buena opción.… Expand

An interesting concept that kind of fades in and out. It's not really all that suspenseful, The stupid twist near the end kind of took away the badassness of the blind man and instead turned him into just another nut.

It was unique enough atI went to this on opening night for 3 reasons: The trailer looked great, it has a good director (Fede Alvarez who did the Evil Dead 2013 reboot), and it's actually a horror movie rated R which is rare these days. It was unique enough at times for me to come out of it without feeling ripped off... but it definitely had some flaws.

Pros:
Great direction and cinematography. A few scenes literally had me holding my breath.
Some plot twists are genuine surprises and at times it is very suspenseful.
It's a large-release horror movie that is rated R. It's a dying breed.

Cons:
The blatant attempt to portray atheists as nihilistic scum is ridiculous. I won't spoil anything, but this is the weakest attempt to paint atheists as terrible people in cinematic history. It's laughable and completely out of place in the context of the movie. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this movie was partially funded by extremist Christians. It's that bad. Thankfully, it was just one scene... but it could have been easily cut and it would not have affected the plot.
Many of the plot "twists" are predictable due to obvious foreshadowing. Zooming in on items that don't currently matter is just telling the audience you think they're stupid. It's 2016... we don't need adult (rated R) horror movies holding our hands. They could have very easily omitted a few angles/scenes and the audience would have felt less patronized.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole idea of a blind but strong and determined guy instead of a zombie, ghost or maniac ( he's crazy enough but not what I'd call a maniac) seems interesting but is not rich enough to build something brilliant entirely on it. The movie isn't completely worthless but something you can easily live without. Protagonists are not truly sympathetic, there are a lot of inconsistencies and cliches. For example, guess how they defeated him (actually, they didn't, the guy was strong enough to be destroyed by such a trifle)? Of course, stole up from behind and beat on the head with a hammer, were you expecting something else? I ask, why didn't they try it earlier? And guess, how did they kill him at last and for sure (hm.. you know what, they really didn't actually...)? Of course, by stealing from behind and beating on the head, were you expecting something else? It's absurd, the guy hears the floor creaking, he knows someone is there, knows it for sure, and for all that he's leaving the room without even bothering to close the door? Sure, an urgent task to remove a dead body (there would be three of them and two survivors - how it's possible? well, there was one more person in the house) from the room, may seem not so urgent in such a moment! And why to rely only on smelling and hearing, why not to take some long stick, a broom, for example, and not to feel around, methodically closing all doors? The burglars were messing around maybe for an hour or more (if you consider the real time), when the owner at least had a right idea to switch off all lights, what by the way makes you guess why he needed them before!... Oh yeah, he was sleeping at the TV sounds, wasn't he?... Yes, but lights were on, however ! Why? Why not scatter glass splinters or something on the floor? He would then hear their every move!... In short, quite an unimaginative silly owner, quite unsympathetic greedy intruders... No sympathy, no pity, no interest, to hell with all of them!… Expand

As the film kept going and the same cliched things kept happening, I sat and stared at my screen withYet, Don't Breathe constantly feels like a short film with a paper thin concept stretched out over the course of a feature-length film. As the film kept going and the same cliched things kept happening, I sat and stared at my screen with similar pain as the kids in the house. I wanted out, but the movie just kept on going and going, never introducing any idea that was not filler or cliched in some fashion. Don't Breathe has some solid acting and a scary villain, but the concept is pretty lame especially when there are no tricks up its sleeves to add onto it. What you see is what you get for the most part and the portions it tacks on just feel like reaches that director Fede Alvarez added onto make the film longer and reach the hour and a half runtime. Simply put, this film is the very definition of tedious.

The tediousness predictability is constant and never lets go. The best sequence in the film - the basement sequence with all the lights off - is terrifically lit and really cool to watch unfold visually. Story-wise though, two of the would be robber teenagers who broke into a blind man's home just fondle the wall for a few minutes. As he fondles the wall right behind them, he is on his home turf and shows it, while the two teenagers are lost. Though well captured, the scene lacks in any sort of tension and serves as a microcosm of the whole film. When you anticipate a hand grabbing a character, guess what appears on the screen. These types of cliches are constantly adhered to throughout as Alvarez fails to find ways to obscure them. Instead, it just follows the beats on how to make a teenage, final girl, and home invasion horror thriller, while never innovating on them. Instead, it toes the line and cheapens its own scares by simply emulating the script put forth by better and more innovative horror films.

Even worse, Don't Breathe lacks guts. It fears killing its characters unlike any other horror film I have seen. It keeps them alive at all costs, in order to use them later on as a rescue for other characters. At the end of the day though, it is all done to lead up to a final girl who takes a stance against the big bad guy. The film even lacks innovation in its characterization as, at the end of the day, these are kids who perform robberies. They are robbing a blind veteran because they know he is sitting on a pile of cash. Unable to make the audience sympathetic to the leads otherwise, Alvarez adds in a subplot regarding the blind man with rape and impregnation that really feels cheesy and incredibly cheap. Thrown in just to demonize the blind man, he is clearly a bad guy, but it really adds no depth to the film. No tension, it merely just elongates it as finding the girl in the basement already made us root against him, no need to add on some perverse subplot.

The film continues to struggle, especially outside the house in and around the car. It just drags like all hell and it is supposed to be the thrilling finale. You know every beat of this scene if you seen any horror film ever released and it is really tiring to watch unfold. Ultimately, what I am driving at is that Don't Breathe entirely lacks atmosphere. At no point does director Fede Alvarez create an air of mystery or fear. Instead, it is just a largely dull film that mostly lacks sound to make up for any lack of atmosphere. It relies instead upon the silence of the room and of this blind man feeling his way around the room as the characters conveniently step on creaky floor boards.

Falling well below my expectations, Don't Breathe is an unscary, unthrilling, and thoroughly tedious teen horror film that only has its tight and well structured visuals in its pro column, as well as good acting. Every beat of the story is either done out of cliche or convenience to help move the story along in the predictable and tired fashion desired by Alvarez. For a film so highly praised by critics and audiences alike, it is fair to say that I expected far better than this film.… 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'!)… Expand

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.

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

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
