Nothing of the events that happened from the first movie are mentioned
its a bit faster paced than the original but its one of them movies you know whats going to happen before it happens
its not bad and its not good its just a basic one watch only kinda film
has no connection to the aftermath events of the original so they clearly are just cashing in on the success of the original this time around.

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.

I didn't really feel the terror in this movie that I felt in the 1st one. I remember being scrunched up on my sofa with my hand over my mouth, thinking "Girl, DON'T BREATHE, THAT BLIND DUDE WILL HEAR YOU!" HA hahahaha
Didn't feel that this time, it was just a whole lotta escalating violence and I didn't know why it was even happening at first. Then I was cheering for the blind dude and the kid and Shadow this time. But it didn't seem to match the ending of the 1st movie????
It's a one and done for me. I've re-watched the 1st movie at least 4 times over the years, and will probably re-watch it again in the future. But this one, NAH!

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.

I love the first film, it was a huge surprise but I always thought this sequel was unnecessary and after I watched it I felt I was right.
Don't Breathe 2 is enjoyable, interesting, has a couple of nice twists but didn't surprise me. There's a lack of tension because the "old man" looks to be immortal and everytime he's in danger, we know he's going to survive.
I can divide it in two parts: even being enjoyable, the first half is quite predictable, but the second half is a thrilling and unexpected trip.
I mean, this sequel isn't bad but also hasn't the ingredients that made Don't Breathe (2016) a surprisingly and intense film.
