Don't Breathe ironically breathes life to the horror film genre devoid of supernatural beings and torture porn by delivering a solid film. It will scare the hell out of you with moments that you wish it would end but there's more to it.
Friends Rocky (Jane Levy), her boyfriend "Money" (Daniel Zovatto) and their friend Alex (a sympathetic Dylan Minnette) live in abandoned Detroit (a perfect setting for the film) breaking into homes and stealing valuables that will be their ticket outside their dying city with dreams of moving to California for a better life. For one last heist, they planned on entering a home of a blind war veteran ( a commanding Stephan Lang) who lives with money from a settlement he got from his only daughter's untimely death. They thought they had it easy but it was a big mistake.
For a lean hour and 28 minutes, Don't Breathe becomes a thrilling exercise in suspense entertainment that will have you at the edge of your seats. Close your eyes then be relieved and then be shocked again at another twist. Believe the type on the movie poster, the movie delivers for fans of the genre.
