Don’t Breathe (2016) Movie Review By Common Sense Media
The first three-quarters of this simple, intense thriller are something close to masterful — and then it goes a little too over the top, with an outlandish reveal and elements of torture and gore. Director Fede Alvarez (the 2013 Evil Dead remake), starts Don’t Breathe with nary a misstep, using the desolate Detroit locations to strong effect and establishing the space of the veteran’s house clearly and concisely, never resorting to shaky-cam.

Don’t Breathe (2016) Movie Review By Rollingstone
(If you couldn’t guess why the movie is called Don’t Breathe, now you know.) Silence is not only golden in this house of horrors — it can save your life, and besides, no one can hear you scream. Not even the Saw films dreamed up anything this surgically scary. What makes this so memorably nerve-frying is the way Alvarez and cinematographer Pedro Luque use night-vision and every trick in the book and ones not invented yet to trap us in their vise. Claustrophobics, you’ve been warned.

Regardless of that fact, it’s impossible to deny that Don’t Breathe is a near-perfect execution of stylish and tense horror filmmaking. It’s a visceral thriller offering audiences a compelling set of lead performances, nightmarish atmosphere, and an instant icon the form of The Blind Man. Don’t Breathe isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s a must see for any self-respecting fan of the horror genre.

Don’t Breathe (2016) Movie Review By AVclub
Don’t Breathe plays a little fast and loose with the abilities of its villain. One minute he’s realistically impaired, to the point where one of the kids can sidle past him undetected or dodge his blows during a hand-to-hand encounter. The next, he’s making more like the sensorily heightened Daredevil, echolocating his prey in the dark and figuring out their numbers by sniffing out their removed shoes.
