BB 9/23/16

Good morning Phoenix! We have finally made it to Friday…. Whew!! To continue the horror theme on the countdown to Halloween, today’s selection for Friday Flicks sounds like a good one: Don’t Breathe. It was released in theaters on August 26, so likely still appearing in some theaters. It has good ratings by viewers. So let’s check it out, shall we? (insert evil laugh here)

Plot: Three Detroit thieves look to rob a blind man's house with a major cash settlement so the main character, Rocky, can move to California forever. Little do they know of the blind man's capabilities and hidden secret within the home, as they must find a way out of the house alive, in the dark.

Trivia:
• Stephen Lang (the blind man) wore contact lenses that greatly restricted his vision, particularly in low light. The other actors, in the scene taking place in the dark, wore lenses that made them look like they had dilated pupils but also greatly restricted their vision.
• The street where the old man lives is called "Buena Vista." In Spanish? this translates to "Good Sight." The old man is blind.
• The combination to the Blind Man's safe, 2978, is actually director Fede Alvarez's birthday - Feb. 9, 1978
• Throughout the movie you can see areas in the house where crosses used to be but have been taken down. Later in the film The Blind Man states that men can do anything once they've accepted there is no god.
• The character of Rocky was featured on PopSugar's list of 18 "Final Girl" Halloween Costumes Only Badasses Can Pull Off ranking at number 4

Goofs:
• Money makes a big deal out of shooting the lock off of a locked door with his "chrome"...the screws holding the door closed are all exposed...meaning, you take a screw driver and remove them. No noise of the gun and you are in....Hollywood drama.
• While inside the car, Rocky's pants do not show any hole or slit after it had been cut open by the Blind Man earlier.
• About half way through, the blind man has a large blood stain on his shirt which disappears shortly after for the rest of the movie.
• The movie is set in Michigan, but in an overhead shot a large sign advertising the New York Lottery can be seen on the side of a building.
• When the 3 are sitting in the car, Alex asks Rocky if she got a new tattoo and she said yes, a ladybug, the day before. Rocky's skin & the tattoo are perfectly smooth & clear - if the tattoo was brand new, it would likely be puffy & bloody & probably covered with a bandage.

So - have you seen this one? What did you think? Have a fangtastic Friday! <3 Brock V"""V
