Plot Summary:

In Don’t Breathe, a group of three young burglars believes they’ve found the perfect target — a blind war veteran living alone in an abandoned Detroit neighborhood. Confident that the man is helpless and sitting on a large amount of cash, they break into his home one night with the intention of executing the “easy job” and escaping without a trace.

What they don’t know is that the blind man (played chillingly by Stephen Lang) is far from helpless. Trapped inside the house with someone who turns out to be far more dangerous than they could ever imagine, the intruders must navigate the suffocating darkness in absolute silence — or die trying.

As the house reveals disturbing secrets and the blind man becomes more unhinged, the night spirals into a terrifying game of cat and mouse where making a sound could mean instant death.

Why It’s a Must-Watch:

• Unique twist on home invasion horror: the invader becomes the prey

• Minimal dialogue, maximum tension — a masterclass in atmospheric horror

• Powerful performances, especially by Stephen Lang as the terrifying antagonist

• A film that keeps your heart racing from the first moment to the last
