Critics Consensus

Stephen Lang remains a thrillingly imposing presence in Don't Breathe 2, but this sequel's story strains to find a sensible way forward for his character.

Audience Says

It may not be quite as good as the first Don't Breathe, but this tense, action-packed sequel will keep you on the edge of your seat despite a flawed story.

Read Audience Reviews

Jenny Nulf

Austin Chronicle

Don't Breathe 2 is a horrific and delusional sequel to its predecessor, a tight thriller that had grounded, down-on-their-luck characters, and a film that knew when to pull out the big guns so the audience would root for its unlikeable leads.

Rated: 1/5

Alison Willmore

New York Magazine/Vulture

The brutal gratification of Don't Breathe 2 comes from watching Norman do to the gang what he did in Don't Breathe, only this time, with characters who deserve it.

Jesse Hassenger

AV Club

At times, Don't Breathe 2 assumes the ghoulishness of a Grimm (and grim) fairy tale, the darkness mitigating attempts to rehab Norman into a vengeful anti-hero.

Rated: B-

The concept changes: empathy rests on the blind old man, whom the film transforms into an action hero. [Full review in Spanish]

Loud and Clear Reviews

Gone is the tense and terrifying silence of the first film, replaced instead by the confused and cluttered noise of its sequel, Don’t Breathe 2.

Rated: 2.5/5

Left feeling the same but still enjoyable & entertaining. Switching to more of a slasher thriller Lang goes all in as well as the direction

Exciting action scenes and an attempt at the previous film's villain's redemption bring an unnecessary sequel that is enjoyable to an extent.
