  • 2. Moviezine
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Don't Breathe" is a film that primarily aims to terrify the audience, but it also includes some criticism of the ever-widening gaps in our society and how we deal with them.

  • 3. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The popular 'home invasion' genre - where people are attacked by outsiders in their homes - is given a refreshing twist by director Fede Alvarez, who with "Don't Breathe" turns the genre's basic rules upside down.
    - Elin Dahlman

  • 4. Filmtopp
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Well, I should warn sensitive viewers not to watch "Don't Breathe". It's courageous and bold in its storytelling, it doesn't shy away from really going 'all in' when it comes to certain horrifically unpleasant scenes, and I applaud it for that.
    - Filip Kruse

  • 5. Om Filmer
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Disturbingly thrilling. Creepy disturbing. Certainly some things are classic. Young and inexperienced teenagers are chased by an older (often also a war veteran). But apart from that, this is really disturbing.
    - Camilla Käller

  • 6. Toppraffel
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: This is actually the most terrifying horror film of the year. You won't see a more exciting movie this year. "Don't Breathe" is damn exciting.

  • 8. Game Reactor
    7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: One of last year's most exciting horror movies with a completely magical Stephen Lang as a blind murderer, but weaknesses in the script and acting bring it down a few notches.
    - Erik Nilsson Ranta

  • 9. Nöjesguiden
    6.7 / 10

    Translated from swedish: There is no need for anything supernatural to scare, just smart and inspiring filmmaking. It is an intense experience with a risk of giving you breathlessness.
    - Daniel Hånberg Alonso

  • 10. Dagens Nyheter
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Evil usually dwells in a blackened, dilapidated house that sticks out on a well-maintained and lush residential street. But since this film is set in Detroit in the 2010s, the entire area is overgrown and the streets are lined with demolition cars, except for the place where Rocky, Money, and Alex break in.
    - Kerstin Gezelius

  • 11. Göteborgs-Posten
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Stylistically, it is bold of Alvarez to let the entire film take place in a more or less dimmed shack.
    - Mats Johnson

  • 12. Russin
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The wealth of ideas is not fantastic. No modern classic, then, but an effective thriller with a smart hook.
    - Anders Lindahl

    Translated from swedish: A thriller that does not grope in the dark

  • 14. Kommunalarbetaren
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Don't Breathe" is a film that only wants one thing - to scare. It succeeds well with this.
    - Simon Rothelius

  • 15. Kulturbloggen
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is clearly just for providing fear as entertainment, but it did not work at all on me. Nothing surprised me, nothing amazed me.

  • 16. Sveriges Radio
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It's a really good thriller for a long time. Then it derails, with blood, scissors and sperm.
