Don't Breathe smartly twists its sturdy premise to offer a satisfyingly tense, chilling addition to the home invasion genre that's all the more effective for its simplicity.

I never feel totally comfortable watching a movie in which the heroine is punched repeatedly in the face, in wide shot, by a muscle-bound psychopath until she blacks out. October 10, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The suspense is built as carefully as it is in a good John Carpenter movie; Alvarez uses the camera like a stealth weapon, exploring dark corners and hidden areas of the house with devilish glee. September 26, 2016 | Full Review…

This is one for horror diehards -- well-engineered, but not on a par with Jeremy Saulnier's grimy Green Room or Dan Trachtenberg's zany 10 Cloverfield Lane. August 31, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

You start out fearing "Don't Breathe," but by the end you're laughing at it - and the humor is not intentional. August 26, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Don't Breathe is a viciously efficient thriller that's also, unfortunately, relatable. It's a battle of wills between two morally compromised characters. February 18, 2020 | Full Review…

I also call foul on the standardization of sexual violence against women in horror films. More often than not, this component provides no dramatic value and it's used for titillation's sake... February 3, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

If you like a good rush of adrenaline to wash over you as you experience the unexpected, then this film is for you. If you are faint at heart, then you might want to stay home where you'd feel safe. January 23, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Don't Breathe can best be described as a series of steadily escalating variations on a theme... Alvarez is evoking the feeling of wanting to flee, but seeing your options for escape slowly dwindling. January 14, 2020 | Full Review…

This is a technically proficient thriller with consummate pacing, but once the gasps and screams give way to characterisation we are very much back... with a tacky revelation that threatens to overshadow Lang's towering physical performance. October 9, 2019 | Full Review…
