No Respires 2

What's up with all the terrible reviews. It's Don't Breathe 2 not the follow up to Hereditary. What the hell do people expect these days. You literally can't make a descent horror film without getting slaughtered by couch critics. I didn't think it was that bad. The storyline wasn't the greatest but it worked. It had some brutal kill scenes and the main character was awesome once again. Stephen Lang's performance alone is more then enough reason to check it out. 7 stars.

Several years on from the home invasion, Norman Nordstrom has her another attack to deal with.

As a stand alone film, it's actually pretty decent, as a follow up, it perhaps doesn't quite work, the whole concept of 'don't breathe,' just doesn't really apply. The first had originality, that's what's missing from this.

In fairness there are some tense, and quite exciting moments, though to be fair it lacks the true horror and gruesomeness of the first. Expect twists and turns, and all sorts of revelations, some well imagined, some a little bit of a stretch.

It's well acted, it's well produced, definitely not just cobbled together. I can appreciate what they tried to do, which was to flip the ideas from the first film on their head, challenge you into seeing enemies and friends differently, but ultimately it's a movie that never needed to be made, the first didn't need a sequel.

Fiona O'Shaughnessy stole it for me as the cruel, pretty awful mother, I wasn't expecting her to pop up in this, boy her character was twisted.

6/10.

Just finished Don't Breath 2, I didn't hate it despite the bad reviews. I enjoyed the first film which I thought was an above average home invasion horror. Interestingly, I guess Stephen Lang and the creators knew there was no rational way they'd be able to match the setup of the original. Instead they've gone for an old-school 90s type action thriller with little to do with the first film besides a vague backstory for the villain turned avenging angel. It's a Taken-Blind Fury mashup with a bigger budget which allows it some pretty cool set pieces and photography. This combined with the cheesy dialogue, eye-gouging, bone snapping, and just general 'why has no one called the police, and how could anyone survive that?', makes a bad film atleast fun to watch.

Don't mess with the blind man.

The sequel to Don't Breathe, which was one of the surprises back when I first watched. The first had a simple concept, but the great execution made for an intense and gripping thriller. So coming into this one, although with a different director, I expected another great thriller.

And the movie was pretty decent. Stephen Lang returned as a blind yet skillful man. He was again awesome in his role, showing not only good action, but also some emotion. He was for sure the best part of the movie.

The thriller aspect was definitely nowhere near the level of the first, which was a letdown. Since most of the action took place in the dark, sometimes it was hard to see the movement, and the editing didn't help much either. Still, there were still great shots and lightning of Stephen Lang's character that made some scenes intense.

Overall, a decent thriller that was a step down from the first. 6/10.

You know what this is, you know what to expect. Starts slow but it picks up and yes, our favourite blind psycho good dude is back. In his house, you are his food.

I love how this time around they give us a better understand of his character; there is a particular scene that will really drive it home and i love that they put it in.

So sit back and enjoy this home alone for saw fans.
