A Thriller of a generation

Not long after it's over, the previous 90 minutes go from being an impressive exercise in cinematic tension to little more than a technically sound production hanging by the thin threads of a plot-hole-ridden script.

Surprisingly, this movie made me hold my grip for an hour so, and question my own gray areas. Sometimes horror does not need the supernatural. Full review in Spanish

Dont Breathe is the ideal title for this film as not only its characters, but the audience spends a part of the film holding their own breath rooting against the blind man and hoping the protagonists are able to escape.

If only "restrained" was a word I could apply thicker across the skin of this wild, unwieldy beast of a movie

There's a taut pin-drop route that always seems to keep you hooked. The unpredictable nature of the film helps to steer you around unsuspecting, darkened corners that will have you peering between your fingers.

At under an hour-and-a-half, it's a brilliantly trim and genuinely riveting horror/thriller.

... what viewers accept as tolerable from one character or another is both curated and wielded with anime-like precision, tempting viewers to pick a side before gleefully twisting the knife and the plot again.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 22, 2021

It's one of those films that has such good tension... the creepiness factor in this film is quiet full-on.

Suspenseful and unpredictable, just like whatever is out there hiding in the dark.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2021

In twenty years from now, I can see Don't Breathe being viewed as a classic thriller. It grabs your attention on the premise alone.

Don't Breathe is a movie to experience in the theater with a big audience. This is one of the few times I've seen a movie where you can just feel the entire audience on the edge of their seats...

This film is just what you need to completely take you out of what is happening outside because you literally won't be able to stop watching.

A tense shocker that's bubbling over with dread, violence, and just about every bodily fluid you can think of, Don't Breathe delivers the type of movie that I forgot I needed; the type of movie that demands not just to be seen, but to be experienced.
