‘Don’t Breathe 2’ Vignette Responds to Blind Man Discourse [Video]
In 2016’s Don’t Breathe, Stephen Lang starred as a blind war veteran who brutalizes a trio of thieves who break into his home. It is revealed that his character not only artificially inseminates a woman, but plans to do so again to one of the intruders.
While Lang’s character is the villain in the first film, the trailers for Don’t Breathe 2 have positioned the “Blind Man” as a sort of anti-hero who protects a young girl from a new assortment of intruders.
Fede Alvarez, who directed the first film and produced the sequel, addresses this controversy.
“He was a villain that did terrible things…horrible, despicable things, but he got away with it,” Alvarez says in the following vignette. “Is he going to pay for those crimes he did…does he have good intentions?
“He will have to come to terms with who he truly is,” he adds.
Director Rodo Sayagues asks: “Is he a monster?”
I guess we’ll find out how the filmmakers tackled this issue when Don’t Breathe 2 opens in theaters this coming Friday the 13th.
