It shouldn't be called horror

Rating: 2/10 (11 September 2016)

I don't understand where the high rating is coming from. How can a horror movie fan enjoy basically a self-defense shooting movie so much? There's no likable characters here, and the potential source of fear is a very regular although strong human being. Yes, he is off in his idea of revenge, but he measures his cruelty which is unlikely for thriller, isn't it? What is "horror" about it? Sheldon Cooper's problems were more "horror" than this. I think one reviewer here said it best: "Don't Breathe is a grisly, unpleasant exploitation film about characters that you don't like going up against a man who is at first somewhat sympathetic and then turns out to be a ridiculous mess of a (human) monster, and it's directed with some skill."
