A Unique, Slow Burn

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2016)

Don't breathe kept me entertained from beginning to end. The creators are able to put a spin on this overdone genre that gives this movie an original feel to it.
The plot goes like this - A group of petty thieves learn about an old house in an abandoned neighborhood, owned by an old man is full of cash of the taking. They break into his heavily protected home and make an attempt robbing him. Not everything goes as they've planned and they end up fighting just to make it out of the house alive.
Nothing comes easy for the main heroes in this story. Most of the time they have to try two or three different things before they get the result they are looking for. This made the movie seem a lot more realistic to me.
Besides plot, The direction of this movie was very well done. The tension builds nicely and keeps you at the edge of your seat.
I would recommend this movie to anyone looking to escape reality for a few hours, and enjoy a well made thriller/horror film.
