It hardly gets any more realistic than this!

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2016)

A trio of hobbyist-robbers decide to break into a blind man's house, to steal a money-stash he's sitting on. a) He's blind. b) These guys know their stuff.
Should be pretty easy, right?
One could not be more mistaken.
Turns out, this blind guy is a war-veteran, whose killer instincts are remarkably well-oiled for his age. Did I mention his bloodthirsty dog? Oh, he also has a dark, dark secret in his basement, which he'll go any lengths to protect. And the desolate neighbourhood helps in drowning all the gunshots.
So what turned out as a simple, (cliched) one-last-time in-and-out heist, quickly escalates into a brutal case wherein the robbers are desperately trying to get out of the godforsaken hellhole that they got themselves into.
"Don't Breathe" was a fresh infusion into my love for Horror movies, after the massive disappoint that "The Conjuring 2" was.
The storyline is brutally realistic, with no supernatural elements whatsoever. Some brilliant shooting accompanied with an eerie background score makes this an exceptional movie. The best part, you hold your breathe till the very end. :)
