Don't Breathe

[chainsaw midget]

I watched this movie the other day. 

I suppose the "From the Creators of Evil Dead" should have been the first warning.  If it had been the creators you cared about, it would have said Sam Raimi.  Or Bruce Campbell.  Or even Ted Raimi. 

Turns out Sam was a producer in it. 

The movie is about three lower middle class white trash teenagers that break into people's house and steal things. 

One of them is the getto gangsta.  He's dating the girl who happens to have a younger sister she takes care of and a drunker white even-trashier mother.  Then we have the normal blad white guy from a good house that has a thing for the girl. 

They hear about a blind veteran that a big payout when his daughter got killed by a drunk driver so they decide to rob him. 

See the problem here yet?  You've already given me more reasons to like the badguy than you have any of the good guys. 

So, they break into his house and gangsta guy pulls a gun on the blind man.  The blind man over powers him and shoots him dead, then he locks up his house.  The rest of the movie is about the blind guy hunting down the other two.  They discover the woman who killed his daughter is locked up in nhis basement and even THAT doesn't make you like the good guys more than the bad. 

There is another twist about WHY she's locked up in the basement but it's really stupid and seems like they felt the need to force it into the movie just so you know the bad guy actually IS the bad guy. 

The movie had potential, but it never seems to give you any real reason to care about the thieves while making the blind guy extremely sympathetic until the dumb as bricks plot twist. 

Also the movie is called Don't Breath but at no point does the fact that he can hear them breathign play into the plot.

I liked this one for the tension and suspense. Teenagers were unlikable at first, but I came to sympathize with the main protagonist. To each his own.

I know everyone has a different opinion, and that is a good thing but still, this gif pretty much sums it up for me (no offense)

I actually thought it was a very fun and suspenseful movie. The idea of being "blinded" while stalked by a man who knows better than you how to move around without his sight is actually a litte bit disturbing, at least for me. You may not like it, but it is, at least, an original idea nowadays. Blind people always make for interesting characters, I guess it's because they live their lifes in ways so much different than ours. I couldn't imagine how much my life would change if I lost my sight.

The jizz mouthful at the end was something unnecesary tho.

Without a doubt the idea was great and there was some good suspense, it's just that they didn't seem to have a good idea of which characters you were supposed to cheer for. 

The jizz mouthful at the end was something unnecesary tho.

The whole thing about getting a replacement daughter felt out of place to me.

Well, this guy was Hardcore military, and in the military when someone dies you bring in a replacement. Maybe that was the idea,  he's just bringing in a replacement daughter.
