Don't Breathe is a horror films about 3 thieves that break into a blind war veteran's house in an attempt to steal the small fortune the man is sitting on.
I wasn't a fan of this film, it felt slow paced and would work better as a short film due to it all being set in a small house, this would make it more effective because everything would be moving a lot faster and you would always be on edge as the tension rises.
Another thing I didn't like was the use of darkness, it doesn't make sense in the film because the neighborhood is empty meaning nobody was around, and the camera gets punished at times because it's way too dark to see at times.
But there is one good thing that came out of that, and that would be the blind scene. Around about a 3/4 into the film there is scene where the blind man manages to hit a switch to turn off the power creating a pitch black room so two of the characters can't see. This is where the audience along with the characters loses where they are in the room. When the camera turns back on we get a night vision scene where the characters are frantic searching for each other. It switches shots on the regular and is constantly moving keeping the audience on edge.
But that was all I really liked about the film, I know the others who I was viewing this with had very different opinions, so this might be me not being scared at it.
Here's the trailer:
