Filming has now wrapped on Don’t Breathe 2, the sequel to Fede Alverez’s 2016 hit home invasion horror. Stephen Lang, who starred in the original returns as the badass blind man. During a chat with THR earlier this week, Lang teased that the sequel will be “very much its own thing.” I never walked away from a scene on this feeling like we’d left something on the table there. We really strived to get everything we could out of it,” said Lang. “It has a tremendous kinship with the first film, but in many ways — in every way — it’s very much its own thing.” We kind of debate and negotiate and massage every word, every phrase, every grunt,” Lang added. “We all have a ball doing it, because we enjoy working together. On the day-to-day life on set, I had a lot of input into it.” Don’t Breathe 2 is the feature directorial debut of Rodo Sayagues, who

Movie Review: ‘Werewolf’ Is Dark, Gripping, And Simply Brilliant

I watch and report on a lot of movies, horrors, and thrillers, but it’s not often that I come across one that truly affects me. That’s exactly what the Polish film Werewolf did. Let’s start with the trailer and the film’s synopsis which gave away some detail but was able to keep much of the film’s events secret and I really appreciate that. I get so sick of seeing movie trailers that basically give the whole film away. Don’t you? There are many things that I find much more terrifying than some fictitious monsters lurking about in movies, for example, films that center on real events such as wars and their atrocities. Those always seem to get under my skin. That is the case with this WWII set horror-thriller. We are introduced to a group of children and teens liberated from a concentration camp by Soviet soldiers. The group is left in a crumbling country manner where their will to
