Update: An English version of the poster has been added.
Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe has an international poster that beams the maddening eyes of man, played by Avatar‘s Stephen Lang, who is a vicious and brutal super-soldier that also happens to be blind.
Opening August 26, here’s what Trace said in his review, which he also says “is like Hitchcock on crack.”
‘Don’t Breathe’ may not qualify as an actual horror movie, but Lang imbues the film with plenty of horror, and his casting pays off in spades.
He’s right. Sony Screen Gems and Ghost House Pictures’ Don’t Breathe, which reteams Jane Levy with Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez, is one of the most suspenseful films in recent memory.
Levy stars as one of three teens who break into a blind man’s home thinking they’ll get away with the perfect crime. Dylan Minnette (Prisoners, Goosebumps, Let Me In) and Daniel Zovatto (It Follows) play the other thieves.
[Event Report] Fede Alvarez’s Trailer Launch Event for Don’t Breathe
“Three teens who get away with perfectly planned home robberies have set their sights on one last payout that will get them out of crime forever. Their target: a reclusive blind man with millions of dollars in hiding. But as soon as they break into his home, the tables are turned and they find themselves trapped and fighting for survival against a psychopath with secrets of his own.”
Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues wrote the script for the project, which is produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert for Ghost House Pictures. J.R. Young, Nathan Kahane, Joe Drake and Erin Westerman executive produce.
The film was shot last summer in Budapest and Detroit. Our very own Jon Barkan visited the set. Watch for his report soon.
