Blind and brilliantly terrifying

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2016)

Yesterday, I saw Don't Breath This film is thrilling chilling and popcorn spilling, it's a perfect blend of surreal timing and visually remarkable camera work. The film is crazy disturbed, demented, and it's proud of it, now before I begin my Review I want to let everyone know I love Horror films they are one of my favorite genre of film. Quite honestly usually I only like old school horror, Be the most modern day horror I find over budgeted super flashy and never truly chilling or terrifying. However: Don't breath is a complete breath of fresh air no pun intended to a dying genre of horror the home invasion film how do they do this read my review to find out. Let's begin my review of Don't Breathe. This film is Written by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues and is also directed by Fede Alvarez. The Film stars Jane levy as rocky, Daniel Zovatto as Money, Dylan Minnette Alex, Stephan Lang as The Blind Man, Emma Bercovici as Diddy, Franciska Torocsik Cindy, Christian Zagia as Raul, Katia Bokor as Ginger, Sergej Onopko as Trevor, Olvia Gilles as Blind man's daughter, and finally Dayna Clark as TV Anchor. The story is three teens Money played by Daniel Zovatto Alex played by Dylan Minnette, Rocky Played by Jane Levy the trio break into a wealthy blind man's house, thinking they will get away with a perfect heist. What happens when they were wrong. now this film is a unique look at a dying genre and in this Horror sub-genre known as the home invasion films, most are played out, but some are that diamond in the rough that hidden gem and for horror, I think it has been found Don't breath leaves you breathless for the most part. doesn't rely on the gimmicks that come with most big budget Horror films and with a small modest budget of only 10 million dollars this film is impressively directed and is a very well done film. Now for my pro's and cons for this film, I'm going to start with my pro's. One thing I loved about this film is the acting, all actors in this film know what their roles are and play them perfectly every character has a purpose and not one character feels unfinished or unnecessary. Every single character had meaning and depth and that's something don't breath does so very well is the chemistry between all 3 of the protagonist against the antagonist you feel urgency and feel true fear this film brings chills thrills and gores galore and it's proud of this and wears it like a horror badge of honor. now another great thing about this film is the cinematography and camera work the pacing follows a specific slow yet sort of in between fast pace. the cinematography feels lifelike each movement is captured in unique ways. this film is utterly terrifying from almost Beginning to end. Now for my cons, this film has no real critical mistakes, for the most part, and does exactly what a horror film should do and that is to leave you terrified which this film does for almost the whole film but by the third act, it starts to get a little to far fetched. I won't spoil anything but it just feels rushed by the end. Overall this film is great and will leave you breathless for the most part but fizzles to a predictable end. However, makes up for it with an incredible first and second act and is still worth checking out in theaters if you're a horror fan that is. I'm giving Don't Breath a solid 8.5 out of 10.
