Here's Vis' write-up for Don't Breathe

Inviso - I dont know how to describe my feelings for this one, because I can appreciate all that it tries to do. It starts out as a reverse home invasion, where the invaders are the ones getting attacked and the homeowner is locking them in to kill them. Its a fine concept, especially since the burglars are portrayed as scummy, so youre not entirely on their side when they fuck with the wrong blind guy. But then the movie takes a sharp turn, and you realize that Stephen Lang is not just the wrong blind guy. He has a woman chained up in his basement, and it turns out hes a fucked-up dude. Suddenly, EVERY character in the film is super gross, but youre still rooting for Rocky to escape, because FUCK that. Thats the problem though. I have a hard time truly appreciating this film because of how grimy and gross it is. Its not gorey, but its just icky. Its like (ironically enough) how I felt about 8 Mile on the first musical listit just didnt appeal to me.

Next ranking coming up in just a little bit.
