It's kind of cheap, but it's kind of obvious, but it's still one of those things. It was cool to be in a theater watching that because you heard a lot of people go,

yeah!

Yeah, yeah.

Welcome to Syncast, presented by CinemaSense.

Alright everybody, welcome to the Syncast. This is Chris Atkinson from CinemaSense, joined by Jonathan Watkins.

Hello, hello.

Today we're doing a mini pod on Don't Breathe 2. Yeah, surprising, right? We're going to review this movie.

In our sort of fall preview thing, I think all three me, Barrett and Jeremy said have no interest in watching this, but I ended up watching it anyway.

Yeah, I think I was just like, I was just super curious, especially after seeing the trailer, I'm just like, what is this movie? Like what is the sequel to Don't Breathe?

The trailer for it did nothing for me, and I think the producers of this movie realized that because I started seeing little interviews with director and writer and everything where they were talking about the exciting things they were doing in this sequel and everything.

I was like, okay, okay, alright, I'll meet you halfway on this, and we'll see if this is as good as you're saying it is.

I guess this movie is kind of all spoilery, so do we want to go ahead and just go right into?

I mean, yeah, if we want to go ahead and do like a quick, yeah, I mean, I guess we could talk about I guess a little bit, like I am curious about your thoughts on the first one, because I was not a fan of the first one.

I liked the premise. I thought it was kind of interesting too, that it was one of those, because a lot of horror movies are socially conscious.

And I don't breathe at least in some parts. I don't know how successful it was at this, but it seemed to be trying to tackle unemployment and homelessness and stuff like that, especially in the Detroit area.

So I thought that was a really interesting backdrop for a horror movie, but then I just thought with the first one, it turned that sleaze meter up so far.

And not even that, but just like so quickly, like it just became like a different movie.

Once that turkey baster came out, which I guess is probably what everybody who has seen the first one remembers the most, I that kind of I kind of lost me.

I was like, I don't know that I want to be a part of this anymore.

Yeah, I think the thing about the first movie is that it's great for a while. It's like home alone with a blind guy.
