Don't Breathe (2016)

A claustrophobic thriller, Don't Breathe follows a trio of young burglars armed with inside information for home security systems. Their latest mark - the house of a blind veteran with a stash of hush money - seems too good to be true and the novices find this out the hard way when the veteran wakes up during their hit and starts firing a gun in their direction. The soundtrack is purely focused on adding to the tense and well-directed atmosphere and that's not so bad for this kind of film. Even the dialogue has a couple of interesting legal remarks about grand larceny and the difference a gun makes in a burglary. The actors are all solid and this pays off when the film becomes darker -  both figuratively and literally. Don't Breathe also touches upon morals as you find yourself not really sure who the antagonist really is: the home invaders or the over-zealous occupier. Worth a watch or two.
