Review: Don't Breathe (2016)

Don't Breathe is an average thriller film with quite tense atmosphere. There are not that many horror elements, but in this particular film I enjoyed the way the film plays with the sensory perception of the characters. Such scenes were the ones best shot and best highlighting the overall idea of the film.

However, the characters do not stand out much - apart from the antagonist, and in the end I was not sure who I should be rooting for to survive, because to some extent, the blind guy was in the right to shoot them (as mentioned in the movie itself, too). The film tries to bring in a very sad story of the girl lead character, but it just feels forced and as if there could have been another way to escape her fate, thus I did not agree with her actions. 

As for the plot, there are some original and unexpected twists and the action going on is enough to keep you entertained as the film is quite short. 

5/10
