Outrageously fun, but not without flaws.

This game is one of my favourite games of all time, though after a recent replay, it still is!

This game does not add a wealth of background to the Resident Evil lore, but it is fun.

Being the first game in the Resident Evil's 13 years to allow multiplayer was an excellent choice, and is thoroughly enjoyable, and occasionally hilarious, even for beginner gamers I have discovered!

As some may know, you can purchase unlimited ammo for it's vast array of weapons, which makes a second, third or even fourth playthrough absolutely hilarious, especially with unlimited RPGs to take out single zombies.

DLC is also a huge plus on this game, so I thoroughly recommend paying that small amount extra, as it provides an introduction to the game, and an explanation to one key part of the game.

But now the bad. SPOILERS AHEAD.

The game itself is the least scary of all the games apart from maybe the Wii Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles, taking away most of the tension, and getting rid of the puzzles that caused such stress anxiety in the 90s and early 2000s.

But the story is the most disappointing thing, mainly the ending, or to put it simply, killing off Albert Wesker, one of the games main antagonists since day one, turning him into a superpowered killing machine? Go for it, turning him into another random blob of gunk? Not so inspired, and a poor end for such a key character.

The petty crime trio of Rocky, Alex, and Money make a living from burglarizing homes throughout Detroit. They feel trapped by the poverty and destitution of the area and hope that one big score will allow them to escape their

circumstances. The opportunity appears in the form of a blind, reclusive war veteran living in an abandoned neighborhood. They quickly realize that they have underestimated this man.

Don’t Breathe is filled with tension and has audiences confused as to whether they want the trio to survive the night as they go from being the aggressors to the prey of this man as he defends himself and his home from these invaders.

The film turns the horror/suspense genre around and allows for the audience to feel the tension without being too predictable. You feel as limited as the thieves as they try to escape from the house that they have entered. You feel as though, at any moment, they will be caught, injured, or even killed in this deadly game that the blind man has started with them.

The strength of the film is not in gore or shocking moments, it is in the reality of the fear and anxiety that builds throughout Don’t Breathe. The film allows for depth of the storyline and ability for audiences to find themselves conflicted as to whether or not they should cheer for anyone in the film.

8No one is innocent. Don’t Breathe is multidimensional and does not insult the intelligence of its audience with contrived plots and clichés. The film allows us to realize that monsters exist everywhere, even in the most unassuming places and people.
