When I first read that Don’t Breathe caused quite a stir at SXSW earlier this year, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical.  Trust me for I am from Texas and I have spent a lot of time in Austin and I know of what I speak: it’s not that hard to create a stir in Austin.  In fact, the main appeal of Austin is that practically everything leads to a stir.

But then I watched the trailer and wow, is it intense!  The film tells the story of three teenagers who make the mistake of attempting to rob a blind man.  The blind man is played by Stephen Lang and, considering that his character was one of the worst things about Avatar, it’s kind of nice to see that Lang may have finally gotten a role worthy of his menacing talent.
