Don’t Breathe
Don’t Breathecuts a fresh path, providing thrill-seeking moviegoers and horror die-hards with an inventive as well as terrifying movie experience.
The victim of an scurrilous female parent and absentee father , Rocky ( Jane Levy ) has taken it upon herself to care for her new sister , Diddy . Desperate to move Diddy away from their decaying trailer ballpark home to a adept life in California , Rocky agrees to join her beau , Money ( Daniel Zovatto ) , in steal from a withdrawn homeowner . After a solid run of robbing locals , and with the assistant of Rocky ’s in force ally , Alex ( Dylan Minnette ) , Money adopt they ’ll have no trouble securing their next score : a cash - packed safe in the home of an aging blind man ( Stephen Lang ) .
Unfortunately for Rocky , Money , and Alex , the man is more than they anticipated : a war old-timer , blinded in fight , who in venom of his condition , has fine - tuned his senses and knows every straight column inch of his base . rough and Money’seasyscore turn into a lethal plot of khat and computer mouse - and the pair operate for their lives as The Blind Man pursues his intruders without mercifulness .
Do n’t Breatheis the soph lineament handout from Fede Alvarez ( director of 2013 ’s well - received remake ofEvil stagnant ) - who , in plus to helmingDon’t Breathe , also co - wrote the screenplay with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues . UnlikeEvil Dead , Don’t Breatheallows the filmmaker to develop his own repulsion - thriller for the big screen , without the luggage ( or , conversely , franchise boost ) of a known property . The result ? A fresh , riveting , and downright shuddery picture . Instead of relying on conversant panic or an iconic movie teras , Don’t Breathecuts a sassy path , providing boot - seek moviegoer and repulsion die - hards with an imaginative as well as terrific movieexperience .
Despite noted exceptions , the horror genre is pack with movies that pit a crowd of stereotypic teenagers against supernatural entities . The rule does n’t always ensue in original scares but typically turns a solid profits for the studio apartment - have in mind there is n’t always motivator for writers , directors , and producer to cultivate something singular . fortuitously , Alvarez was undeterred andDon’t Breathesupplies an immersive 88 minutes of movie - watching - built around a cautiously craft assumption and ingenious iterations on that theoretical account . Character motivations , backstory , and relationship are fuel for the patch , rather than in particular nuanced or impactful , and Alvarez sometimes shinny to keep his protagonists benevolent - given that , freestanding from The Blind Man ’s menacing answer , they are stealer stealing from a handicapped veteran . Still , whileDon’t Breathe ’s teenaged protagonist often ground in shallow character schema territory , Alvarez ’s motion picture is , above all else , a ingenious turn of events on plate invasion horrors trope - take into account the big movie ( in concept and execution ) to turn out above any cliche character dynamics .
Any shortcomings in the characters of Money , Alex , and Rocky especially , should n’t be pinned on their respective performer . Daniel Zovatto , Dylan Minnette , and Jane Levy are solid throughout but they ’re confined by the limits and logistics of theDon’t Breatheplot - a picture show in which character reference drop much of the film hook aroundnotspouting exhibition . Levy ( hark back for Alvarez after her starring function inEvil Dead ) , commence the most to work with and imbues Rocky with a few added layers of nuance - even ifDon’t Breatherestricts her from exploring Rocky beyond basic need . Alvarez makes attempt to say something meaningful about Rocky , who takes a risk of exposure on disengage herself from a tearing female parent only to be hold in in a dissimilar theatre by a malevolent man , but the thematic through - line ( the struggle to overcome and escape abuse ) never quite reaches the same level of success as the film ’s panic .
Ultimately , the real star ofDon’t Breathe- and what score the celluloid so alone - is The Blind Man ( wager by Stephen Lang ) and his house . While there ’s more to the type and his house than the teenager bear ( allowing space forDon’t Breatheto research a few twists ) , it is the combination of Lang ’s unhinged performance with playful directorial option from Alvarez that make the character engrossing . Like Levy , the stress ofDon’t Breatheis on the situation more than develop The Blind Man into a fully - realise character - and Alvarez ’s restrained approach to the unsighted antagonist makes him even scarier . In fact , one specific scene that undertake to shed light on The Blind Man will , for some witness , threaten to sendDon’t Breatheoff its otherwise straightforward story track ; though , for some , that same import will be a much - talked about highlight of the film .
The Blind Man , andDon’t Breatheas a whole , are at their good when juxtaposing second of wrenching silence and lifelessness with stress - snap scenes of panic and brutality . Alvarez give the world and rules ofDon’t Breatheearly - on - arranging a robust stage on which he can surprise his audience , all without relying on grotesque violence . In fact , most scare inDon’t Breathecome from thethreatof violence not blood and guts . Thanks to this careful earth - building ( even if that world - building comes at the disbursement of character development ) , the director makes it wanton for viewers to understand the limitations of his home - sized sandbox - so that drastic shifts in the plot actually land and provision more than stupor economic value alone .
Alvarez delivers on his visual sense with even writ of execution and cunning filmmaking choices throughoutDon’t Breathe- carrying viewers through a warped and pulse - pounding repulsion - thriller . Select moments undercutDon’t Breathe ’s saucy apparatus but , even in the most exorbitant scenes , Alvarez ( with Levy and Lang ) keeps viewers enthrone in moment - to - moment events . The flick is n’t exactly a genre - defying must - see , capable of winning - over moviegoer who were never intrigued by the picture show ’s assumption , but Alvarez has develop a cohesive thrill drive - one that makes playful use of its adversary and , by extension , its consultation .
