10 Best & 10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2016

4. Don’t Breathe

In a similar vein as Hush, Don’t Breathe is a home invasion horror in which one of its main characters lacks one of the five vital senses, in this case sight. But in director Fede Alvarez’s movie the tables are turned when the invaded becomes the predator and the invaders become his prey.

A trio of teenage miscreants decide to break into the home of a blind Iraq War veteran living in a rundown Detroit neighbourhood to steal a large sum of money that they’ve heard he received as a settlement following the death of his daughter. Unfortunately for the young burglars the combination of being blind, living in America’s former murder capital and presumably having seen some sh*t go down in Iraq has left the veteran with a set of unique and deadly skills and sympathies switch between the blind man and teens as the hunters become the hunted.

Perfect for horror fans who like their plots full of smart twists and turns, it’s no wonder that Don’t Breathe ended up turning its relatively small budget of $10 million into a $152 million box office profit.
