Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Everything about "#HoldYourBreath" is aggressively mediocre, shoddy and undistinguished... Rated: 1/5 Oct 4, 2012 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Even a handful of slightly competent actors couldn't turn this into anything worth anyone's time. Rated: 1/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed There's no way this is worthy of anything other than late night basic cable fodder. Mar 1, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Decent watch, could watch again, but can't recommend outside of a Bad Movie Night. This is, when it comes to it, a horrible version of "Fallen", so go watch that instead. However, this movie is a lot more fun, with some really bad cg and over emphasized drama. Katrina Bowden ("Tucker and Dale vs Evil") is by far the best acting in this, with Marie Ann Hogan a show stealing second. While an evil body hopping ghost sounds cool, the execution has to be done correctly with the appropriate amount of gravitas and this movie just fails across the board in so many ways. The lines, the fighting, the effects are all bad, but the cast manage to pull off a somewhat endearing dynamic and the journey is just good enough that I would sit through it and laugh at it all again. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member What a silly plot - Hold your breath tries to promote a horror/suspense genre but totally misses the target. Poor acting,a poor story and nothing scary in this flick makes it a nice pass ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member another rare zero rating, have you ever seen a movie so bad it pisses you off? yeah case in point here it seriously is unspeakably horrible corny and hilarious with some of the worst acting I have ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I have to imagine they were trying to make a ridiculously bad movie. There's no other explanation as to how a movie turns out this way - it can't be accidental. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member You can pretty much see everything before it happens. Stoner can't hold his breath, so the fun begins. You have all the right ingredients for a B thriller. Annoyingly bossy blonde, sex-crazed couple, pott-head, graveyard, abandoned prison, creepy old man with a shotgun. From the beginning where they all give up their cell phones, to the foreseeable facepalm of an ending. This is a decent way to pass the time, but don't expect to be impressed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. Kinda cheesy. Good b flick horror. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
