Don't Breathe 2

Nothing of the events that happened from the first movie are mentioned

its a bit faster paced than the original but its one of them movies you know whats going to happen before it happens

its not bad and its not good its just a basic one watch only kinda film

has no connection to the aftermath events of the original so they clearly are just cashing in on the success of the original this time around.

Several years on from the home invasion, Norman Nordstrom has her another attack to deal with.

As a stand alone film, it's actually pretty decent, as a follow up, it perhaps doesn't quite work, the whole concept of 'don't breathe,' just doesn't really apply. The first had originality, that's what's missing from this.

In fairness there are some tense, and quite exciting moments, though to be fair it lacks the true horror and gruesomeness of the first. Expect twists and turns, and all sorts of revelations, some well imagined, some a little bit of a stretch.

It's well acted, it's well produced, definitely not just cobbled together. I can appreciate what they tried to do, which was to flip the ideas from the first film on their head, challenge you into seeing enemies and friends differently, but ultimately it's a movie that never needed to be made, the first didn't need a sequel.

Fiona O'Shaughnessy stole it for me as the cruel, pretty awful mother, I wasn't expecting her to pop up in this, boy her character was twisted.

6/10.

Just finished Don't Breath 2, I didn't hate it despite the bad reviews. I enjoyed the first film which I thought was an above average home invasion horror. Interestingly, I guess Stephen Lang and the creators knew there was no rational way they'd be able to match the setup of the original. Instead they've gone for an old-school 90s type action thriller with little to do with the first film besides a vague backstory for the villain turned avenging angel. It's a Taken-Blind Fury mashup with a bigger budget which allows it some pretty cool set pieces and photography. This combined with the cheesy dialogue, eye-gouging, bone snapping, and just general 'why has no one called the police, and how could anyone survive that?', makes a bad film atleast fun to watch.

A decent sequel to the 1st one with the protagonist being the only character coming back with a fresh story which is not directly related to the 1st one. As I expected from the trailer this one is a taut and well made thriller with the key setup being similar to the 1st film. The film is enjoyable throughout although it does goes down in some places along the story. Cinematography is very cool and gives great angles to the viewers. The story, screenplay and writing are good. Editing is crisp and the music lends solidarity to the overall setting of the film. I'm not sure this sequel was necessary because frankly both films don't connect apart from just the character of the protagonist. But I could see this as a redemption arc for the protagonist's character briefly. All in a this is a good film and you will enjoy watching this one. The 1st film was miles better though.

I love the first film, it was a huge surprise but I always thought this sequel was unnecessary and after I watched it I felt I was right.

Don't Breathe 2 is enjoyable, interesting, has a couple of nice twists but didn't surprise me. There's a lack of tension because the "old man" looks to be immortal and everytime he's in danger, we know he's going to survive.

I can divide it in two parts: even being enjoyable, the first half is quite predictable, but the second half is a thrilling and unexpected trip.

I mean, this sequel isn't bad but also hasn't the ingredients that made Don't Breathe (2016) a surprisingly and intense film.
