Review of Don't Breathe Full Movie: This pattern of signals is good to know that it is fair and consistent sound errors in a civil war as a classic tragedy. Well, that and Robert Downey Jr., who in his sixth appearance as Stark seems to be more invested in the party forever. He is not the film's success with naive selfishness; His world is hindered. But hit preparatory visit to the borough of Queens, each benefactor who lives with his aunt recruits shows that even in the way of farming, but Downey a skit outside the park. A large part of the new credibility girls Tom Holland, which is why the stem end MCU citizenship everything will feel like you have a happy event.

Maybe detection can get after all the talk, McNealy companion, Mark, Russian and Russian for our patients with the largest Super Mack down, imaginative reward in the history of film of a restless public sector.
A trio of burglars, Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, and Daniel Zovatto, break into a blind veteran's remote home, the great Stephen Lang, to steal a recent large legal settlement. The young burglars get more than they planned for when they instead find themselves the trapped inside the home and stalked by Lange. The fact that Lang's character cannot see and the burglars cannot speak for fear he'll hear them and kill them makes it so a majority of the films done wordlessly and in complete silence. These sorts of movie set-ups are what I consider "pure cinema," telling a story on film that could not be told in another medium.

Not as a book not as a comic, not as a play, or not in any other storytelling format. "Don't Breathe" builds suspense with visuals and sound in a way that would not transfer to another medium. Now the set-up is not all that clever or original (I supposed you could say it's "Wait Until Dark" turned on its head), but director Fede Alvarez, who'd previously directed the surprisingly strong "Evil Dead" remake, builds tension like a master and has crafted a wicked little suspense thriller. In contrast to his "Evil Dead" remake, this film steers away from blood and gore and instead focuses on suspense, creating a situation where the audience can't help but ask themselves, what would they do in this situation?
Credit for this also goes to a strong script co-written by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues, which the best of these sorts of films have the characters have the characters take the logical actions the audience would do in that same situation. It's like the classic haunted house story question. Why don't the characters just leave? The script for "Don't Breath" does a great job of exhausting all of the logical options you'd think the burglars would do to try to escape (cell phones, guns, windows, door locks, basement exits, etc.). The story does seem to overly rely on horror movie tropes than I would have liked (torture, the-last-girl, night vision, etc..), but it's all done so well that horror movie aficionados won't care. Produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, with an fine score by Roque Baños, "Don't Breath" is a must see for horror fans!

Strengths: Fede Alvarez only directed two feature films, but both were among my favorite horror movies in recent memory. Evil Dead was delightfully gory, though this was a different animal. There was barely any gore and it focused more on the tense moments, tone and build that make horror films work so well. The suspense element is great and at just 88 minutes, it never overstays its welcome. Jane Levy (Rocky) and Dylan Minnette (Alex) were strong choices for leads. They also worked well as sympathetic heroes, despite the act of robbing someone. You understand that Rocky's doing it to set up a better life for her and her sister, so you feel for her. The movie also does a great job continuing to build to higher stakes. I thought the protagonist was free on several occasions, but things kept getting amped up. I'm also glad they made sure to find a way to make Norman (Stephen Lang) into a detestable antagonist. Coming in, I was worried we might not dislike him too much since he was the one getting robbed. I won't spoil what's in his basement that makes this so, but it worked.
Weaknesses: It's an odd thing to complain about, but I thought the film was too dark. Literally. I understand the lighting adding to the feel, but it was done to the point where it was hard to see what was happening at certain points. The premise is one thing I understand people having issues with. While I thought they made it work, I see why some just can't buy the concept of a blind man being that much of a threat. I also wasn't a huge fan of the ending leaving things open for a sequel.
Overall: Fede Alvarez is two for two in impressive horror films. While this wasn't your typical creepy horror, it had me on the edge of my seat. It's one of the better home invasion films I can recall, with tons of tense moments. A simple idea that turned into a great movie thanks to the acting and direction. ''Don't Breathe'' is unlike 1967's Wait until Dark, not even 2016's Hush. Nor David Fincher's Panic Room(2002). It is unlike any other home invasion film/ horror movie you've ever seen before. Directed by Fede Alvarez. Produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Fede Alvarez himself.
Rocky played Jane Levy (Evil Dead 2013) is back once again as the lead character, Alex, played by Dylan Minette(Prisoners, Let Me In), Money played by Daniel Zovatto (It Follows) and The Blind Man played by the excellent Stephen Lang. Don't Breathe is from the creative team behind the most recent remake of 'Evil Dead' film. Synopsis: A group of teens break into a wealthy blind man's house located in an abandoned Detroit neighborhood, who turns out to be a serial killer. The three found themselves trapped in his house. They must find a way to escape his house before they become his newest victims.
Though the trailer has showed us so many scenes that I wish they didn't spoil but Don't Breathe isn't a Home Invasion movie you think it is. Don't Breathe is one of my most anticipated horror movies this year. Though I had high high expectations on this movie, but I decided to just turn away from its reviews about it especially from those who had seen it, so I walked in, from its very first scene, I wasn't breathing. Literally. This is the first time in my entire life leaving the cinema shaking and feeling uneasy. I found myself holding my breath on this edge-of-your seat, anticipating what happens next. It stuck in my head. I thought a lot about it and it keeps coming back like the trailer did to me.
Fede Alvarez is a revolutionary horror film director who doesn't rely on traditional horror movies grew up with. One of the strongest elements of this movie is the writing. The idea how The Blind Man has controlled the whole situation in the house by using his other senses and what he's capable of is truly brilliant. The more they learn how defenseless the blind man is they thought he wasn't, the more you feel scared. There are so many things to love in this movie. This Masterclass and Supremely twisted horror film doesn't give fake suspense. You'd feel overwrought. Fede Alvarez knows how to build tension till you feel insurmountable.
Despite of its minimal dialogues it delivers necessary silences that will leave you breathless. The visual style, the direction, the sound design, the musical score, all of these things come together. Including the camerawork (especially its 3 minutes or so long shot when the camera was going all throughout the house). Oh boy, that was ingenuous!
Fede Alvarez has given us bold and creative filmmaking. Don't Breathe is loaded with tension, gut-wrenching and terrifying sequences and legit shocking twist. Simply makes it, the scariest horror movie of the year and one of the scariest horror films of the 21st century.
