Don't Breathe (2016)

Nick - I would only recommend this movie if watched edited on TV.. but boy does this movie deliver. The turns in this movie were uncalled each time and there was never a "What are you doing, get outta there!" moment. One of the smartest, scariest thrillers i've seen in awhile. Makes 10 Cloverfield Lane's suspense seem like a scary episode of a Nickelodeon show. 9.5/10

Ally - This movie is gooooood, but do not watch it if you don't like intensity from beginning to end. Seriously, there's no part of this movie where you feel relaxed and good about what's happening. That being said, this movie is just all around well made and written. The idea of a blind antagonist is interesting and it didn't disappoint. I don't want to get too spoilery so I'll just sum it up by saying it's one of the best horror movies I've seen. It's…pretty horrifying at parts, and all together a satisfyingly intense experience.

8/10

My favorite genres are probably sci-fi and fantasy, but my general interests vary from period pieces to musicals, to almost anything from Pixar. I'll read a review before I watch the movie, but I'll try not to let it sway my opinion as I'm watching it, but try to see it from their perspective. What I look at most is overall concept and dialogue mainly, and the delivery of a line that'll make or break a scene depending on the mood they're trying to establish. Guilty pleasure? Kids and family movies. Straight to dvd!

I wouldn't consider myself a big film-person. But there are films that I absolutely love that make me want to look into films and story telling more now. Trying to come up with my own stories recently has gotten me to start paying more attention to story telling in films, and what is good and what is bad. As a painter, I have a high appreciation for beautiful visuals. I also love musical scores, likeable characters, and emotion and feeling in films. I'm also pretty picky, but (hopefully) not snobby. Because like I said, I don't know everything. It's just my taste and personal preference.

Do you like movies? Haha so do I! Hi, my name is Julian. I also enjoy trying different Chinese restaurants, karaoke, dinosaurs/monsters stuff and just having a good time with friends. My hobbies include filming, drawing, and the occasional ping pong (be careful i can be a little competitive) also my dog is dead. I like to talk about movies, when I do, I will try my best to give an honest review without being overly biased. Message back if you would like to have some Friendly film talk ;)

Hi! My name is Gabe
and I don't love movies. I mean, I like them, but I have a 2 year old daughter, so everything I watch is either around her, or watched after she goes to bed. Even then I find myself watching movies that I would want to show her. So I end up not watching a lot of "important" movies. So I guess that means I don't love movies. But guys, you know what's better then seeing all the good, important movies?? Being able to control....hm..that's a creepy word to use. Let's say being able to "guide" a child's life so that she watches the original planet of the apes spoiler free. She's going to be like "ok boring space exploration, whatever. Crash on an alien planet, whatever. GORILLAS ON HORSEBACK!?!?"
