Pretty decent nothing revolutionary (Tried to keep this as spoiler free as possible)

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2016)

I had heard some good things about Don't Breathe and decided to check it out. Overall, I think its a good popcorn flick. There were some good tension and a good twist but it was also wrought with clichés and a stupid ending. One of the things I specifically liked was the direction. I liked how the camera moved around the house and focused on different items. For instance showing the audience early on where the gun was being hidden. It definitely added on another layer of tension because you would keep thinking things like "Who's gonna get to the gun first?". I think the movie also did a good job of making the main characters likable and wanting to root for them even though they are doing something bad in the first place (robbery). The cast did well with their roles. If I had to pick a standout I would go with Jane Levy. Now on to the stuff I didn't like. The "aww shucks" nice guy being in love with the main girl and she doesn't know it cliché. It's so overdone. And with Rocky's (Jane Levy) broken/abusive home life, I get its to bring sympathy to her character but it also feels contrived. Kind of like the lazy, easy way of getting sympathy. And then the ending.oh boy. I don't want to go in too much detail cause I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible but, it just seemed to ignore a lot of details that happened earlier and therefore didn't make a whole of sense. If you're looking for a film that's going to flip the horror genre on its head, this isn't it. If you're looking for a quick thrill ride, then this would be up alley
