Don't Breathe is a great chamber thriller. Don't Breathe is a breath of fresh air in its genre, no matter how ironic it sounds. Perfectly built suspense, there are even small elements of horror.

Perfectly built suspense, there are even small elements of horror. A well-built storyline that keeps you on your toes throughout the film. Don't Breathe is an example of how to make a chamber movie, the whole film is set for the most part in the same house with a budget of just under $10 million. Watching the film more than once does not raise the question of the budget of the film, this is commendable. I hope the sequel, released several years later, will be no worse than the original.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A perfect Robbery gone wrong movie!
It was thrilling and dark with surprising reveals and edge of the seat experience with brilliant situation reversals, The story was simple and runtime of below 90min makes the movie even more tight and great, The performances were brilliant and the camera movements was brilliant too, The starting scene and ending connected was a nice touch, The starting intro to characters and specially rocky and her motives were clear and the blind mans story with the daughter and the setup of his house in ghost town with creepy dog and the 3 without a chemistry then the robbery at start with simple in and out makes awesome with slow and silent moments then the killing and advantage of robbers as the blind guy is blind, The escaping tension with the vetern as a killer it was just awesomely dark and entertaining, The lady in basement reveal was surprising and the kill and the escape made it more impactfull then the escape without electricity that moment was gripping as hell, The dog involelment at the esacape and the glass sequence it was just intense and then the fight and deadbody shot was brilliant and the girl for a girl stuff it was creepy as hell then the "injection and i'm not a rapist" makes the old mans condition complex as hell, Then the escape and just about to quit the alex's death and further the dog chase and fight with at last police entrance and rocky escape and then the twist confession to police at the end It was just brilliant ending, Overall it was dark,thrilling and intensely entertaining 90min, it's a great movie!… 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

A pretty good horror film with a good setting. The house is just a classic and for me it works and some of the atmosphere breathed on me during the film. It looked good the whole time. 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

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

You don't need jump scares or monsters when you have such a simple yet unsettling horror concept. The movies also include a few unpredictable and disturbing twists giving more depth and some thought-provoking themes even.

The characters had interesting personalities and believable motivations overall except for Money. The narrative was pretty good but the movie still suffers from a few anticlimactic or cliche scenes as well. Another small complaint I have is that the beginning of the movie wasn't that great but I suppose it was necessary to give some humanity and a different perspective into the trio of thief protagonists.

My overall opinion is that Don't Breathe is a remarkable horror movie that sticks to a very simple concept yet executes it almost perfectly except for a few missteps I've mentioned previously in this review.… Expand

The plot was pretty simple and poorly executed. Acting was bad, especially of those three thiefs. Director tried his best to grow sympathy for these characters but you will be angry on them throughout the film. Film's runtime was less than 1 hr 30 min but even after this it's pace was too slow. Movie was not even finished half and I was like " when will this end?". I was neither excited nor thrilled while watching this. What I was seeing were the plot holes and stupidity. Overall, you may give a try but if you come out unimpressed or with headache, don't blame me. I warned you.… Expand

The characters wereHaven't watched many horror movies and I'm not an expert, but sure I can say, that Don't Breathe is in the top. It did it's job perfectly. It was scary and with so many plot twists, which maintain interest all the way.

The characters were unlikeable - some teens, with no real reason to do, what they are doing, and worship more money, than their own life and remaining alive. So unlikeable to such an extent, that you want them all dead in the end. It was strange when they decided to help the captive, even though they were looking arrogant and selfish. The old man though did a great job and because of all of that I think it was some story gabs and the characters, that stumble the movie. The story was not the best, but with those non stop plot twists it's compensates. Maybe it could be even more scary and brutal and that would not be a bad thing (for example the birth thing might not be there instead of this to be shown how the captive ate disgusting food for punishment or something like that, but that's just details). The end suggests a second part, but if there is none, it's disappointing.

I think for a horror movie you won't regret watching it even if you are non-horror-movies fan.… Expand

The home invasion thriller genre is one that has been beaten to death. It's difficult to not roll our eyes whenever we see yet another one come along. But Don't Breathe twists most of its genre tropes around to breathe (pun intended) aThe home invasion thriller genre is one that has been beaten to death. It's difficult to not roll our eyes whenever we see yet another one come along. But Don't Breathe twists most of its genre tropes around to breathe (pun intended) a relieving amount of fresh air into this crowded group of films.

What's so refreshing about this film is the characters. I'm so used to seeing half-baked stories about a typical family being having to defend themselves against a group of underdeveloped baddies who either want to kill them or steal their stuff. But there's a great deal of depth to the characters in Don't Breathe, where everyone is a protagonist, while at the same time everyone is an antagonist. With the exception of one of the main thieves who is severely underdeveloped and actually quite annoying, every character is fleshed out in such a way that I felt at least some sort of connection to them all. They're complex, intelligent people that are worth becoming invested in, and the emotion-filled performances are mostly what bring such vibrant life to the characters that is rarely seen in horror movies today.

The plot is also surprisingly almost as intricate as the characters. It starts out with a paper-thin premise of breaking into a house to get money, but as we delve into the lives and hardships of the thieves and the blind man, the story becomes a rich exploration of morality and justice that almost makes up for the movies many flaws.

Getting to those flaws, the main plot points get more and more predictable as the story goes on, which leads to a very disappointing finale that was as cliché and expected as could be. In addition to that, the scares are quite a mixed bag. It's engaging and smart, to be sure, and there are some moments of very legitimate, well-thought-out suspense, but a great deal of the horror aspects do rely upon cheap jump scares and as a result the suspense that is built up is quickly dashed to pieces.

Don't Breathe is not as good as it could be. It's bogged down by some inescapable clichés and a clunky final act, but it's a film that revitalizes a dying genre with intelligent writing, more than competent direction style, and mostly solid performances.

'Don't Breathe' is an exceptionally absolutely frightening film, triumphing with great direction and strong performances from the cast. It actually might be the scariest movie I've watched in recent years. I was tugging at my hair or sitting at the edge of my seat at each scene, and just when you thought we were out of the woods, the mother-effin' blind dude showed up right there behind you. I'd also like to show appreciation for the disturbing concept that turns out to be holding women captive only to make them surrogate mothers for the baby he longs to have after he lost his daughter. This film is truly the best go-to whenever you feel like having a bunch of back-to-back scares/meltdowns and a case of acute stress. And just like the title suggests, it is sure to make you hold your breath!… Expand

Don't Breathe, apesar dos pesares, é um dos melhores longas do gênero suspense lançados nos últimos anos. Sua direção precisa e roteiro competente criam a tenção perfeita que o telespectador estava esperando ver.

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

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

Things get wayA 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.

(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

Now rarely today will I find a horror film that I will extremely like or evenI'm not the hugest horror movie buff, but when it comes to horror films like The Shining or Cabin In The Woods just know it increases my liking of the horror genre. Now rarely today will I find a horror film that I will extremely like or even like at all. It's almost now a 1/3 ratio were I'll actually go into a horror movie and find it to be a decent film. Don't Breathe not only expands a new level of intensity in horror or thriller films, but if it makes enough money it could inspire new waves of actually really good horror movies. Don't Breathe blew me away I was so immersed into this film that I almost felt like I was in the horrible situation that the characters in the film were in. There was so many times were I was on the edge of my seat and even sometimes holding in my own breath when the actors were holding their breaths. The premise of this film isn't very new it's kind of borrowed off of films like Panic Room but I think with horror films like The Conjuring, it's okay to borrow off cliché premises if the film itself is done right. The two main characters played by Jane Levy and Dylan Minnette have great character development. When a horror movie gives characters good development and likability it just makes the film way better. Cause now that I have these two characters that I actually care about it'll make me care about what will possibly happen too them throughout the runtime of the film. Now Stephen Lang's character I thought was very menacing as this Blind man. He had a great back story and he was a threat to be reckoned with. Also the way the camera focuses or moves around from scene to scene or place to place is done so well that it brings the intensity level to a more even pace. There's even a lot of long shots in this film that kept me on the edge of my seat. Now I do have one complaint with this film and that is about, no spoilers of course, the ending. The ending I think went on for too long it could've cut off at least 15 minutes earlier and the film would've been better. The film just kept dragging on and it felt unnecessary. Also just a heads up if you haven't yet seen the trailer for this film, I recommend not seeing it cause it actually spoils part of the movie. Other than that I had such an amazing time with Don't Breathe and if your a fan of the horror genre, definitely go into it and if you are interested in having a exciting experience at the movies go and see this film. This is easily one of my favorite films this year and I'm going to give Don't Breathe a grade of an A and a Metascore score of a 9/10.… Expand

It's a great comeback for the director after his first film, 'Evil Dead' remake had got a mixed response. This film might feel very familiar to you if you have got a good knowledge of the B movies. It was still a very refreshing and very thrilling. The film was short, because there were none segments wasted, it comes to the point quickly. I mean the event, because the story was a one liner, but the event was what this film based on.

Three youngsters who rob the houses when the people are out, mark their new target on a blind war veteran. But when it does not go as they have planned, they find trapped inside his house. Struggling to escape from there, they also get so close to what they had come for. Though it becomes a suicidal, and left without any option, what's next for them and the result of their attempt is what becomes the film's conclusion.

Really a great effort. Almost a one night based theme with the limited cast. The title is not just what the film revolves, it also for us to hold breath while watching it and most probably sitting on the edge of our seat throughout. But I'm very disappointed with many flaws, or maybe you can say those unexplained stuffs. Like the end seems very silly, because there were lots of evidence to prove the film character had committed a crime, but easily got out. Likewise there are many more, but the film does not explain and I believe there are sure reasons behind them.

The writers did not care to waste time on those, because they wanted only a thriller, a non-stop one and they got one. Now it is going to be remade in Kollywood and also a sequel was announced. I expected that when I saw the ending. Maybe, a prequel, though sequel seems more interesting idea after what happened in this. Surely one of the best thriller of the year, so make sure you watch it soon.

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

Horror movies these days are a hit and a miss. Don't Breathe is definitely one of the hits. It's a movie where it teaches you not to **** with blind people, cause you may never know what they can do.

So the story for Don't Breathe is threeHorror movies these days are a hit and a miss. Don't Breathe is definitely one of the hits. It's a movie where it teaches you not to **** with blind people, cause you may never know what they can do.

So the story for Don't Breathe is three robbers are planning to steal from a blind man. When they sneak inside at night, they discover that the blind man is not helpless as he seems. The plot is very brilliant. A blind man going around and trying to kill the robbers by listening very carefully to their moves is something that has never been done before.

The cast does a really good job portraying their characters but the one that stole the show was Stephen Lang's portrayal of the blind man. He was right for the role and had some pretty bad ass moments. (i won't spoil it).

The directing and writing were well paced. It wasn't very rushy and they took their time to make sure the story makes sense. I thought that the film was a little bit too short and it could of been a little bit longer. I also thought that at times, it can get a little predictable.

Overall, Don't Breathe is one of the best modern horror movies ever made and i definitely would recommend it to horror movie fans.… Expand

A very original movie. Not sure if it was because I wasn't expecting much from this flick, but it definitely had me on the edge of my seat. Can't recommend it enough!

The Best Original Movie Of The Year

The most difficult was not enter the movie theater, the most difficult is to get out alive from it. From the second one to eighty-eight minute: this is the amount of time you will be suffocated -The Best Original Movie Of The Year

The most difficult was not enter the movie theater, the most difficult is to get out alive from it. From the second one to eighty-eight minute: this is the amount of time you will be suffocated - literally, holding the breath - within the asphyxiate and perturbing home invasion of one of the greatest of modern horror, Fede Alvarez. He is proudly latino, Alvarez managed a swift leap to the prodigious Hollywood by means of a sci-fi short uploaded on Youtube in 2009 called "Panic Attack!", basic but supreme posed an invasion of robots in Montevideo, Uruguay. A few weeks later, Ghost House Pictures proposed him to direct the coveted remake of "Evil Dead", colossal work considered as the official feature film debut of the talented director within the American film. After the high expectations that he reaped after the almost perfect cinematic experience in 2013, the Uruguayan gets into the field of the thriller genre for obfuscate us with a suggestion as simple as complex, a cult film and a clear sign that the brilliant and original minds still exist.

From dark first shot in style of 'flashforward', with a slow descent in high-angle towards the focus of attention, "Don't Breathe" promises a well-measured ferocious adventure intelligent enough to delight both fans of the genre and adrenaline junkies with psychological and physical horror that will leave you submerged in a catatonic state approximately for the rest of your life. Without the need of an intricate dialogue and subplots which do not give novel anything to the story, the introduction of the main leads happens in the blink an eye, a couple of scenes that will have significant weight along the footage and we are already in, no exit. A young trio with different personal motivations perpetrate private properties of the wealthy during the summer months, despite these do not lead to much significance since they do so without committing a truly grave criminal-offense. With the condition that this will be their last burglary, because of the economic magnitudes that this entails, the burglars break into the desolate dwelling of a military veteran in Detroit - known only as the Blind Man -, a city that has been affected by social and economic turmoils, the perfect ghost town to run a robbery. After they are inside the house, a storm of unexpected events occur uncontrollably, proving that in the land of dark, the blind man is king.

With a script conceived by Fede Alvarez and his recurring collaborator Rodo Sayagues, the film deliberately slips away between personal boundaries of each character to gradually reveal who are the real preys. The narrative standards of this duo do not have moderation, nor imaginative standstills because they leverage each minor opportunity for disturb with professionalism and natural exertion. The curiosity by seeing the final result of a premise so simple and nothing muddled perverted my mind, and indeed, this is a genuine work of the suspense and horror. As a fan of the genre, it is a categorical conviction to see the unforeseen resurgence of original ideas to temporarily revitalize the harassed and wasted world of horror, though, there is no doubt that both the simplicity and efficacy of "Don't Breathe" will cynically be emulated in future films.

The continuous use of space is vital energy to join us with the setting of the story. Just as its argumentative aspect, the film insinuates us the idea of having a limited geography about the house, nonetheless, Alvarez and his team find ways to make the viewers aware of the claustrophobic impasses inside the abode. From the beginning, the camera movement makes specific focuses to key places or elements for the plot - as we will see later -, in order to situate ourselves in the sinister and colorless environment of the basement, lounge, closet or air ducts.

For the stifling and oppressive atmosphere were indispensable two fundaments with excellent finishes. Roque Baños is the Spanish author responsible for the tense soundtrack that accompanies the second primordial characteristic, photography. Pedro Luque - also Uruguayan - prettifies masterfully the spaces of the setting with components well measured such as lighting, brightness enhancement, suffocating camera angles and limited special effects. As you will surely remember, the chase scene in the pale dark, something in neo-noir style, without a doubt, one of the most awesome of the year since in the land of the dark, the blind man reigns and now each human being with its five senses will be more prone than the trained blind man.

"Don't Breathe" takes control of each visual and narrative help at its disposal, it does not worry about to please critical spectators because it unintentionally does. The best original film of the year runs an intriguing narrative, a great-looking survival structure, tremendous innovations for the horror genre that will keep you glued to the screen and the constant improvement of a new combination of film genres ("Green Room" & "10 Cloverfield Lane"). Relentless, unique, simple and concise, terrifying, impressive, allegorical, gloomy, intimidating, suffocating. Fede Alvarez owed us a perfect cinematic experience after "Evil Dead", "Don't Breathe" is it, pure film.… Expand

Definitely enjoyed the ride. A simple "Break in and Run" gone seriously wrong, add to that a few good scares here and there, a mysterious neighbor, and a pinch of wtf twists, and you've got yourself one hell of a thriller. Good movie

It concerns three young burglars who find themselves terrorised by the blind man they are attempting to rob in a desolate Detroit neighbourhood. The film offers up the usual jumpy moments and tension is maintained, but it lacks the real primal force of a ‘Wolf Creek’ or ‘You’re Next’. One sequence where all the lights go off is effectively shot and there is one genuine surprise to be had at around the half way mark. Overall, though, it achieves what it sets out to do. It will be interesting to see if the somewhat open ending unfurls into the hinted at sequel.… Expand

It has a lot of tension and suspense, plus great acting especially by the blind man, Stephan Lang. The movie does have problems with leaps of logic that will test people's suspension of disbelief; and the final act almost lost me with its absurdity. However, I'm judging this movie as a whole and I can't deny that I really like the majority of it.… Expand

Don’t Breathe ist ja so eine Sache. Tatsächlich bin ich ziemlich spontan ins Kino gegangen und hatte nicht wirklich eine Erwartungshaltung. Deswegen schreibe ich auch nicht weiter um den heißen Brei und komme schleunigst zu meiner Kritik.

Story

- Ich werde nichts über Handlung erzählen! –

Die Handlung allgemein ist nicht sehr komplex, aber in den passenden Momenten skrupellos. Das gefiel mir sehr. Der Anfang war eher schwach weil ich sagen muss, dass die Anfangsszene mehr spoilert als man eigentlich am Anfang wissen will. Trotzdem baut die Qualität von Minute zu Minute auf und steuert auf einen guten Höhepunkt hin. Der „Epilog“ darauf ist tatsächlich das schwächste am Film, da er dann doch nicht so konsequent ist wie er eigentlich vorgibt. Hier hätte ich mir tatsächlich ein Ende wie in G.R. Martin’s Büchern erhofft. Trotzdem hat die Handlung tolle Momente und sogar Wendungen die ich nicht kommen gesehen habe. So wird der Film nämlich im Verlauf der Handlung sehr verstörend.

Schauspielerische Kunst
Die Hauptfiguren machen in den gefährlichen Situationen eine sehr gute Rolle! In den meisten Fällen reagieren die Figuren sogar richtig schlau. Tatsächlich hätte ich außer bei einer Figur (die ich nicht als Hauptfigur sehe) genau das Gleiche gemacht wie du Hauptfiguren (wenn ich darauf überhaupt gekommen wäre). Der Gegenspieler ist brilliant geschrieben. Man muss weißt am Anfang nämlich noch gar nicht, wer hier wirklich der „Böse“ ist. Erst gegen Ende wird einem klar was/wer der Böse genau ist! Sehr unterhaltsam sowas in einem Film zu sehen. Die Nebenfiguren sind tatsächlich sehr schwach, überzeichnet und eintönig. Ein Glück, dass diese Leute auch nur maximal 2 Minuten Auftritte im Film haben.

Technik/ Bildbearbeitung
Der Film baut hat sehr dichte Kameraaufnahmen und kommt somit sehr gut rüber. Oftmals täuscht einen die Position der Kamera und macht somit einen falschen Eindruck von der Szene. Liest sich auf den ersten Blick als meine ich das negativ, aber im Gegenteil. Somit entstehen erst die gelungenen Wendungen. Trotzdem habe ich etwas zu bemängeln. So gibt es in diesem Film wieder so Szenen, die es zwar im Trailer gab, aber im fertigen Film nicht einmal vorkam. Bei diesem Film war es zwar nicht viel, aber mir geht es ums Prinzip. Die Szene aus dem Trailer „Dad, ich habe Mist gebaut“ kam nicht vor. Vielleicht habe ich sie auch einfach übersehen, deswegen gebe ich da auch keinen Punktabzug, aber ich fand es schade, weil es eigentlich sehr passend gewesen wäre. Aber egal.

Sound/ Voice
Der Sound ist wahrlich der Sieger der Kritik. Hier wird wirklich gut mit dem Sound gearbeitet. Allerdings hätte ich mir sogar noch mehr gewünscht. Trotzdem sehr gelungen. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr gelungen. Die deutsche Synchro ist bei den wichtigen Figuren sehr gelungen. Bei den Nebendarstellern war die Synchro ein bisschen lustlos, aber da sie ja kaum vor kommen spielte das keine große Rolle.

Fazit:
Der Film ist skrupellos, brutal, verstörend und bietet zwar keinen Horror, aber trotzdem ein verklemmendes Gefühl, sodass man am liebsten selbst ruhig bleibt damit nichts passiert. Leider war ich weder vom Anfang noch vom Ende begeistert. Die Mitte des Films ist aber Qualität auf höchsten Niveau. So einen Film habe ich nach dem meiner Meinung nach enttäuschenden „Lights Out“ wirklich gebraucht. Trotzdem ist der Film kein Meisterwerk. Wer ihn nicht schaut wird jetzt nicht Filmgeschichte verpassen. Für die große Leinwand lohnt er sich um ehrlich zu sein auch nicht wirklich. Ein gemütlicher Abend lohnt sich dagegen zu 100%.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't Breathe was more of an intense thriller than a scary horror movie. Today, horror movies are weak with their jump scares and dumbass characters. This feature really impressed me with its well executed script to a somewhat adequate plot. The scenes made this movie more heart racing. Fede Alvarez was as genuine as he directed Evil Dead. Stephen Lang was as great as his role of Colonel Quaritch in Avatar. Jane Levy was as amazing as she was in the Evil Dead remake, since this is her second collaboration with Alvarez. Dylan Minnette was as exceptional as he was in Prisoners. This movie has a lot of disturbing moments, surprise attacks (like when we discover the Blind Man is a psychopath), and **** up twists-and-turns that leave you breathless. I enjoyed the scene where the Blind Man shuts off the lights in the garage leaving Levy and Minnette blind. What's impressive about this scene is that we see what the actors look like when they're in a room that is pitch black. The twist about the Blind Man was so **** up that I don't want to share it in this review. Overall, I enjoyed this movie. Don't Breathe is a suspenseful game of survival in the dark where one breath taken can cost the players their lives.… Expand
