13 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (Which Aren't Blockbusters)
2. Don't Breathe
Release Date: August 26
The Plot: A group of friends break into the house of a well-off blind man (Stephen Lang) looking to rob him, only to discover that he's going to put up a much bigger fight than they ever expected.
Why It's Going To Be Awesome: Don't Breathe is the second film from Fede Alvarez (2013's Evil Dead remake), and early reviews out of SXSW have praised it for its original premise, near-constant tension, breakneck pacing, and excellent performances from lead Jane Levy and Lang.
That Alvarez reportedly manages to keep things tense and compelling despite the movie largely being set in one location is impressive, and the film providing a unique glimpse into the life of a blind man should give it plenty of niche appeal moving forward.
