Hitchcock would've been proud!

I thought this was an amazing film! It actually had real characters with actual motivations. Moral dilemmas for both the characters and the audience (e.g.: who am I rooting for here?). And almost every set piece was a master class treatise on the creation and sustaining of suspense. Gorgeous camera work and lighting, fantastic acting...yes it had some flaws; but just a wonderful piece of pop-cinema (for a change). I could've lived without the "baby" plotline though. Otherwise...pretty awesome.

Great points. Cheers! :) absolutely can't wait to add this one to my collection. Jane did commentary for Evil Dead so hopefully she does it again for Don't Breathe.

No, he would screaming in fury that the Blind Man didn't put on a dress.

I don't give a f*@K about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.

You need to adjust your dosage.

This is Hitchcock's thing. Just dress a man as a woman. Expect people to take it seriously. Might that worked on people who were intoxicated 24/7 but fails to impress mature audiences.

I don't care about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.
