Don't Breathe

Don't Breathe, how to rob a blind man 101. The story is about 3, I would say 20 somethings, trying to rob a blind man who has recently gotten a lot of cash. The film is headed by the man that directed the remake of the Evil Dead. It also has the same team so that means alongside Fede Alvarez direction we have Sam Raimi in the producers chair.

If you have been reading this reviews for awhile you would know that I am huge Evil Dead fan. I love all the films. Includeing the remake. I think it is one of the best horror remakes. Up there with The Fly and The Thing. So this is also makes the first original film for Alvarez. This film is masterfully directed by this man. He has you white knucked the whole film. When the kids enter the house too when it really hits the fan. It is a non-stop horror thriller. He also was able to make a postmodern slasher with this film. He was easily able to put in that house with great sound design. The viewer hears every creeck and breath in the film. If you are a fan of sound design this film has it in spades. Much like this years The Conjuring 2 great work form the people behind the camera. This film has such a smiple story, but makes up for it with great storytelling. From simple changes that makes things creepy to just down right disturibing. If I had a movie to compare this too it would be if Green Rooms ideas and horror knowledge met with The Conjuring 2's budget. Making for one of the best stright horror films this year. The acting all around is great. The killer being mostly silent the film to the mains not doing anything stupid and understanding what type of situation they were in.

Guys, this film honestly blew me away. The only real problems I have are very minor complaints. One being the score is a little weak, but its because the film is so focused on making the atmosphere of the house so think and rich. I think it would have been a better idea to leave the film scoreless. The other complaint would be the "gangster" of the group is annoying, but I believe that was intentional. So its not a knock on the kids acting or the writing of the character its just a stright fact. If you are looking for a solid horror film. That has great fan pleaseing moments, stylish on point direction, and atmosphere so great you feel that your are  the house. Go see Don't Breathe you will not be upset.
