There's a much better similar film out there..


Called The Collector..

Very similar concept.. A thief breaks into a house but stumbles across someone inside already with a particular set of skills. I wasn't really impressed with Don't Breathe but maybe that's because I was much more impressed with The Collector and I saw that first.

So if you haven't already, check it out!

Ya, but it's not for everyone. It's what alot of ppl consider torture porn

The Collector was a far better suspense film than Don't Breathe indeed.

Whether they want to admit it or not this film was based on Wes Craven's The people under the stairs.

As soon as I first saw the rottweiler, I knew exactly where this film was going.

Damn you are right! It's been so long I didn't even remember that one. Just need the old blind man to wear leather and voilà !

Yes! I haven't seen that one since I was a kid but it did cross my mind.

I agree with you mgittens-28368,

Don't Breathe was not a movie badly made... it's just that I stayed "unsatisfied" (don't know how else to put it). I found it pretty ordinary and was always waiting for something to make me go like "Ohhhh! NICE! This is something else!". It just wasn't for me I guess.

The Collector, now that was something though. And yes horror, unlike Don't Breathe. A few blood spatters... to me that's not horror.

Haven't seen either Don't Breathe or The Collector but Don't Breathe is the one with the good reviews while The Collector was panned.
