Don’t breathe 2
A: Thriller
Dir: Rodo Sayagues
Cast: Stephen Lang, Madelyn Grace, Brendan Sexton III, Adam Young
Rating: 2/5

This sequel is set eight years after the initial deadly home invasion, where ex-Navy Seal veteran, the completely blind Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) lives in quiet solace proactively preparing for his past sins to catch up to him. This time he has company in a young girl, Phoenix (Madelyn Grace) whom he rescued directly after the first home invasion. Obviously, he knows more than what we or Phoenix are privy to. While we don’t see much of the world outside his home, we realise it’s a dystopian set-up where no cops or emergency aid exists.

The opening sequence has Phoenix attempting to save herself from a make-believe attack and Norman is disappointed that she hasn’t done well enough to warrant an outing with a trusted friend. But he eventually relents, and lets her go. And sure enough, evil comes right back to his doorstep surreptitiously following the young tween and her friend.
