Don't Breathe

Don't Breathe (2016) is a crime-horror thriller from director Fede Álvarez that you can watch online on iFILM. Three young burglars in a gutted corner of Detroit pick one last score: rob the house of a blind war veteran rumored to be sitting on hundreds of thousands in cash.

The job looks foolproof. What can a sightless old man possibly do? But the moment they're inside, the hunt flips. The owner (Stephen Lang) moves through the dark better than they can see in the light, locks the place down with all of them trapped together, and has no intention of letting intruders walk out alive. Rocky (Jane Levy) and Alex (Dylan Minnette) realize their only way out is to make no sound at all, and the basement holds a secret far worse than money.

Álvarez, fresh off rebooting Evil Dead, builds nearly the whole film on silence and the tight geometry of one house, the camera creeping room to room while the tension rides on breath you can't let go. Eighty-eight minutes with no slack and a pitch-black sequence shot so the audience goes blind right alongside them. Stream Don't Breathe (2016) online on iFILM.
