SEPTEMBER 7TH - NIGHTMARES - DON'T BREATHE

IMBD Summary:  Hoping to walk away with a massive fortune, a trio of thieves break into the house of a blind man who isn't as helpless as he seems. IMDB

Today I chose the movie Don't Breathe. This movie has been extremely well advertised and has become very popular, so I was excited to see it. Once again, I would put this movie in the "Thriller" category because its not quite horror and not quite action, its got a bit of both. This movie is full of outward jumps and the story line makes you leave sick to your stomach.

The movie is about three teenagers who spend their time stealing from the rich and selling items for money. They find out there's a old man in a house in a deserted neighborhood (of course its deserted), who was a war veteran. This man is sitting on about $300k from a settlement over a young girl killing his daughter in a motor accident. The three teens (Alex, Money, and Rocky) watched over his house for a few days and learned that he had a pretty vicious dog and duh duh duh.. hes blind. They decide to go for it one night and they didn't expect what happens next. The old man spends the night hunting them throughout the house and they find out some very screwed up secrets.

Overall, I really liked the movie. I was terrified and on edge throughout and had no idea what was going to happen next. I found myself thinking about what I would do in the situation and was basically yelling at the screen (yeah I'm that person). Although this won't continue to haunt me I found myself analyzing the movie in my head. Normally in horror movies you know exactly who the villian is and why they are the way they are, but not this movie. In the beginning, I was rooting for the old man cause he's a blind veteran and why would someone ever want to steal from him. But throughout the movie I changed back and forth on who is worse the old man or the teens. Definitely worth the watch.

My Rating: 8/10
