Don't Breathe Review

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2016)

Don't Breath(2016) Starring: Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, Stephen Lang, Jane Graves, Katia Boko, Sergej Onopko, Emma Bercovici, and Jon Donahue Written By: Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues Directed By: Fede Alvarez Review THIS HOUSE LOOKED LIKE AN EASY TARGET, UNTIL THEY FOUND OUT WHAT WAS INSIDE. Coming off the mixed reception of his Evil Dead remake, Fede Alvarez is back in the horror genre with Jane Levy and his third directorial, second that is a major motion picture. I found out about this film through a YouTube advertisement and I'm so glad I usually don't skip trailers when there the Ads. I decided to see it for three of the main leads Stephen Lang(who looks like he would make a great Cable in a future X-Men or Deadpool sequel), Dylan Minnette who stared in my favorite horror film of last year(Goosebumps) and of course an actress I would like to see more of and in more horror films Jane Levy. Rocky, Alex and Money are thief's who decide hey let's go rob a blind war veteran so we can have the money to get out of this joint. The War Veteran is a blind man who's angry at the world and holds a dark secret. This film will do what it's set out to do and make you grip your hands tighter and tighter on the seat with the urge of tension filled in your body as the picture unfolds, It has ingenious camera-work in the first scene where the three get inside the house and start looking around. As it spans the house, camera-work I might have seen before I'm sure but when your touring a small environment that your going to be in half the movie it works when the camera spans through going upward to the upstairs, showing us a TV screen and moving towards the right to the bed and under the bed back to the door which is being opened. Most would assume the story isn't interesting since the majority of the film is taken place in one small location especially if it's a horror picture, I bet you have had that thought as well. I however love it when horror pictures are mostly taken place in a small house it's Hitchcock'n in my eye. But as the story unfolds you won't see what's coming. You won't figure out how it ends and you won't figure out what happens next, you'll just have to hold your breath. As you have read I like three of these performers I'll start with Dylan Minette, he doesn't play the same kind of kid he did in Goosebumps I mean come on in the deleted scenes of that film he got bullied I wouldn't by that but here he plays an intelligent kid who can get pass through the security of a home, you can imagine since his father in the film is a cop, he still gets insulted in this film but when he shines out through the rest of this film trying to escape the house he really shows fear due to his situation, Stephen Lang who I must admit I don't know much about was so great when he was on screen he was intimidating, fierce, quick and downright scary. The one actress I really went to see this for Jane Levy I haven't seen her in a film since that Evil Dead remake(and to be quite honest while I do think it's great It's a little too overly disgusting I wish I could watch Ash Vs. Evil Dead that looks way better) and when I saw she was in this and Fede Alvarez was directing I was like this looks way better! She does a great job as Roxy where Jane Levy is once again the final girl(but then again she's the only girl in this situation) and pulls out just a great a performance as she did in Evil Dead with great dialogue. Don't Breath is the horror film I was waiting for Fede Alvarez to make he's a great director who pulled out some great shots in this film with writing and a tight script that you don't see quite often, great performances, and nothing but tension throughout, so what ever you do Don't skip, Don't miss, Don't Breath because it get's a five out of five.
