Awesome, does not deserve to be in the bargain bin

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2017)

What do I even say about this movie? It blew me away. It's the best horror movie I've seen this year, and my only regret is how long it took me to see it. This is the movie that "Don't Breathe" was trying to be; a survival horror that was unpredictable, intense, and just the right amount of shocking. I know survival horror isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for those of you who like the genre, put this on your list. The gore is done in just the right amount, never too much, but enough to keep you watching and invested. It is well-written, and acted perfectly, which is to be expected from Patrick Stewart and the late Great Anton Yelchin. The filmmakers know how to build atmosphere, so before the action even starts, you are already sucked into the world of the film, and you care about the characters you are watching. It doesn't go for shock value, but has a very real feel to it that makes it get under your skin in the best way. I'm sad to say I found it in a bargain bin of Blu-ray Discs, which is a crying shame as it deserves to be celebrated more than that, but which turned out to be a stroke of luck for me. I got it home, watched it with the BF, and found my heart racing almost the entire time, despite the fact that I was safe in my bed in front of our small TV. I am so glad I purchased it, and I will be telling everyone I can to do the same. It's one of the better horror offerings of recent years and I can't recommend it highly enough.
