A taut & tense thriller.

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2016)

Don't Breathe tells the story of Rocky(Jane Levy), Alex(Dylan Minnette) & Money(Daniel Zovatto). Rocky, Alex & Money are burglars. They break into the house of a blind man(Stephen Lang), thinking he is an easy target. Little do they know, what's in store for them inside.
Don't Breathe is a sensational film. Right from the very first scene of the movie, you are hooked. The brief run-time of the film, makes sure that we don't waste too much time establishing each character. However, the wonderfully unique script written by Rodo Sayagues & Fede Alvarez & the masterful directorial ability of Alvarez, makes sure that we get just enough of each character's backstory that, we feel like we know them. The jump scares are kept to a bare minimum. Instead, there is a growing feeling of doom, as we continue watching the movie. Despite the lack of jump scares, this film will still terrify audiences. The various twists & turns, will keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The cinematography by Pedro Luque is awe-inspiring & is the highlight of the movie. The background score by Roque Banos is unforgettable. The flawless performances, are the main reason this film works so beautifully. Stephen Lang is fantastic as The Blind Man. Jane Levy is spectacular as Rocky. Dylan Minnette is outstanding as Alex. Daniel Zovatto is great as Money. The supporting cast is amazing. Don't Breathe is one of the best thrillers of all time. It might also be my all-time favorite thriller. A must watch!
