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.

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.

Mz. Ghostly Feb 16 Exciting action scenes and an attempt at the previous film's villain's redemption bring an unnecessary sequel that is enjoyable to an extent.
