  I REALLY DIDN'T BREATHE ONCE THE ENTIRE TIME

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 53

  For me, sound is a vital reason why I enjoy horror movies. From John Carpenter's Halloween to present day movies such as It Follows and The Guest, sound can make or break a movie. Don't Breathe has a nice sound, but it's the lack of sound at times, that brings the house down.

  Kids, don't break into houses. Nothing ever good comes from it. I thought the trailer gave too much of the plot away. I was dead wrong. It would be criminal for me to discuss more of the plot. All I'll say is there's a scene as memorable as American History X's curb stomp.

  If you've seen The Hard Way, you know Stephen Lang is one of the…

  Someone please hold me

  Don't Breathe does exactly what it sets out to do and that's to fucking terrify the audience, make you shit your pants, make you cry, and or make you crawl up into the fetal position. Chances are very high that you will experience at least one of those things if not more.

  I cannot put into words how intense and brutal this movie is. The camerawork is brilliant. The way the this movie is filmed adds so much to the movie. It's so seamless, but so effective. The use of sound and silence is perfect. The score itself is great. The performances are all really great, especially Stephen Lang. I'm blown away. I really can't fault…

  “i know what’s in there, and i ain’t leaving without it”

  impeccably made. there are at least a dozen sequences in this that are worth more than most of the horror movies i’ve ever seen. a creaky floorboard caused my heart to skip a beat, and then i was genuinely locked in a state of terror until the credits rolled. and this happens every time i watch it. unreal

  Assorted thoughts that might become something coherent:

  * The man played by the Costa Rican actor dies first, because it's 2016, and that's how far we've come. "But the director of the film is..." Oh, shut up.

  * This film is a good illustration of why "show don't tell" is such a fundamental part of so much good storytelling. Sure, there's great stuff without, but it has something else going for it. This... The best example I can think of is how it characterized Rocky's backstory. Her mother treats her badly in front of her daughter, and we get this illustration of…

  BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA

  Today I was in Savemart in Lancaster which is where I buy herbal supplements to self-treat brain injury when I am unable to buy them online or at Giant or closer and there was some dude wearing a Black Flag shirt and I was all like 'Black Flag R Awesome' and dude was like 'Yeah, sure, uhhhhh' and grabbed his organic corn chips or whatever and hurried past me which honestly is rational if you think about some obviously brain-damaged middle-aged hippie scuzz-drain wearing a Charlie Brown Halloween Shirt in August soliticing you for hardcore solidarity at Savemart. That dude could see that something was off and he was right. Don't Breathe is that situation when your…
