Having stunned audiences worldwide with his ultra-violent re-interpretation of Sam Raimi's video nasty classic 'Evil Dead', director Fede Alvarez triumphantly returns to the horror genre with 'Don't Breathe', a stripped down yet extremely effective and claustrophobic psycho-shocker that may be sparse in dialogue and character development but very heavy on tension, thrills and knuckle-chewing terror. 'Evil Dead's Jane Levy stars as Rocky, one of three desperate teenage burglars who end up fighting for their lives when they foolishly decide to rob a blind yet very dangerous war veteran ('Avatar's Stephen Lang) whose creepy and desolate home hides twisted and terrifying secrets. Throw a vicious, froth mouthed pooch who makes Cujo look like Lassie into the already volatile mix and you have a lean, mean and very efficient roller coaster ride of a film that may be simplistic but soon reveals itself to be a disturbing, distressing and sometimes downright disgusting shockfest that is sure to please genre fans both seasoned and rookie.
