History YMMV / DontBreathe2

* BrokenBase: The film transparently is what it is because the Blind Man from the first movie was [[EvilIsCool everyone's]] [[RootingForTheEmpire favorite part]], and many found him ALighterShadeOfBlack than the unpleasant criminals raiding his house. But was going the whole nine yards and making him from an unconventional slasher villain into a deeply-dark AntiHero given an understandable motive and a redemption arc a good move, or is it just too hard to look past some of his more-despicable misdeeds in the first film? Is the clumsy writing surrounding the villains just correcting ''against'' the already-clumsy attempt to make him more villainous than the protagonists from the first film?

* {{Narm}}: It can be a little hard to take [[spoiler:the Blind Man's apparent death scene]] very seriously when the characters start quoting ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' nearly word-for-word ([[spoiler:Phoenix says she needs to save him, only for the Blind Man to reply "You already have"]]). A similar moment occurs when Raylan yells "Everybody!" in an apparent homage to ''Film/TheProfessional''.

** The reveal of the true reasons for the father to rescue Phoenix it's so comically evil that it becomes hard to take seriously. For some reason. the writers decided that this time the murderous rapist [[spoiler: who kidnapped Phoenix]] is the one we should be ''rooting'' for.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Thanks to the EvilVersusEvil premise, the audience either has to root for ex-military thugs, [[spoiler:who want to harvest Phoenix's heart to save their meth cook]], or for the Blind Man, [[spoiler:who kidnapped Phoenix in the first place]] and [[Film/DontBreathe raped a woman in the past]]. Other than Phoenix, Hernandez is the only truly heroic character, and [[spoiler:she is the film's first death]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Due to the EvilVersusEvil premise, it's very easy not to care about anyone in this movie other than Phoenix, Hernandez, and maybe [[spoiler:Raul]].

* SignatureScene: Most reviews have lauded the initial break-in sequence, a [[TheOner long tracking shot]] where the camera follows Phoenix as she carefully evades the invaders for several minutes.

A similar moment occurs when Raylan yells "Everybody!", in a very similar dialogue exchange to Film/TheProfessional.
