The much awaited follow-up to the 2016 horror hit "Don't Breathe," "Don't Breathe 2," has an official trailer revealed by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Stephen Lang's reprising of the blind, vengeful Norman Nordstrom promises a terrifying return to the realm of vision. But this time the stakes are higher since Norman has to guard an unexpected family member and deals with a fresh threat.
The trailer opens with a view of the fallout from the events of the first movie. Now residing in a far-off, isolated house, Norman seems to be getting used to a different life. A group of merciless criminals breaking into his house upsets this precarious peace. The trailer hints at a sinister scheme and implies that the criminals are ignorant of Norman's actual nature and lethal power.
The trailer opens with a small child named Phoenix, who is major story player. Phoenix seems to have a relationship to Norman's past and to be under protective care for her now. Norman and Phoenix's relationship gives the story more complexity and begs issues regarding his actual motivations and the degree of his willingness to go to guard her.
The trailer deftly creates suspense with a cold soundtrack and close editing of sequences. "Don't Breathe 2" magnifies the sinister and cramped environment of the original movie. Emphasizing the harsh and merciless nature of Norman's reprisal, the trailer highlights the great action scenes in the movie. Norman's weaponized talents and the terror carved on the faces of his assailants promise an awful cinematic experience.
For horror buffs, "Don't Breathe 2" promises an absolutely amazing ride. Examining issues of family, revenge, and the darkness that resides inside each of us, the trailer suggests a convoluted tale full of turns. "Don't Breathe 2" looks to be a spine-chilling sequel that will leave viewers gasping for air with Stephen Lang's return as Norman and the arrival of a fresh dynamic character in Phoenix.
