I still haven’t stopped thinking about this movie. Particularly *that* scene.
Most horror fans agreed that one of 2016’s best horror movies was the Fede Alvarez-directed Don’t Breathe, which saw three money-hungry youths break into the home of, well, a dude they were better off not messing with. The intense home invasion film had one of the most batshit bonkers final acts I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a movie theater, that’s for damn sure.
When the film was released on DVD and Blu-ray, it came packed with 15-minutes of deleted scenes, and they’ve just been uploaded to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Alvarez has noted that the final cut of the film was intentionally trimmed for optimum intensity, much like he did with his Evil Dead remake, but the deleted scenes do offer some interesting moments.
The deleted content mostly delivers a bit more character development, in particular digging deeper into the relationship between Alex and Rocky, as well as Alex and his father. Keeping these scenes likely would’ve made us more invested in those characters, but it’s hard to want more from the film. At just 88-minutes, it was a lean, mean machine that was pretty perfect.
