Led by fantastic lead performances from Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, the film is about two High School seniors that are going in opposite directions. (collider.com)
Much of the film's success relies on the crafty screenplay (by Alvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues) and its generous handful of unexpected plot contortions, but fortunately, Don't Breathe also showcases a pair of fantastic lead performances: Jane Levy (previously great in the aforementioned Evil Dead remake) does a fine job of creating a conflicted anti-heroine.

Also shocking is that Anna Kendrick isn't nominated despite giving three fantastic lead performances in 2014, in Happy Christmas, The Last Five Years, and Into the Woods. (seattlescreenscene.com)
