An Intense and Well Put Together Thriller—Definitely Worth the Watch

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2016)

Don't Breathe is a well put together film and excels in many areas where many horror/thriller films fail.
This film puts together and extremely tense mood with twists and turns. There are a variety of setups and payoffs throughout the plot that make it fun to watch, but the movie is never really *predictable*, which is ever so important!
Horror fans will be pleased that a mainstream thriller/horror has been delivered to theatres that doesn't just rely on jump-scares and violence, and certainly is not a "laugh along" film.
Having said all that, I believe the wrap up of this film is its weakest point. It's not that it is in any way a let down or poorly done—it's just a bit too bland and average whereas the rest of the film certainly isn't.
Overall, this is one of the best horror/thriller films I have seen in a long while.
Some may be wondering why I don't rate it 10/10 then—and that's because those ratings are saved for films like City of God :)
But as far as horror/thriller films go, and for that this film was trying to accomplish, it certainly did succeed and it is a top notch film.
