Don't breathe is a thriller released in 2016 and directed by Fede Alvarez. The moving image is about a young trio and how they try making money by breaking into houses and stealing valuables then selling them off. One day the character 'Money,' played by Daniel Zovatto, was tipped off that a blind man who was ex army had over $250,000 stashed away in his house. So, the group felt this was a job they couldn't walk away from. But it all goes wrong for them.
Before watching the film I felt from the trailer that this was a horror but after watching I realised it portrayed all conventions of a thriller, and the film did this so well. I had never watched a film with so much suspense before ever and this film was the least predictable I have watched. I was shocked that the film only had a $9,000,000 considering the money used within the market today but I wasn't surprised it accumulated over $26,000,000 at box office.
For a thriller some of the camera work through out the film was surprisingly really aesthetically pleasing. I would've expected, being a thriller, that the shots would've been rushed and shaky through out but the majority of the time the camera seemed very lined up and steady, as well some frames were very symmetrical and clean.
The mise en scene within this film was very simple due to mainly being in one setting. The setting was very good being in a neglected, dilapidated house that could not be maintained by a blind man on his own.
Below is the trailer for the film:
