Don’t Breathe 2 will put The Blind Man (whose name is Norman Nordstrom) in more of a lead position, with the sequel picking up with Norman now hiding out in an isolated cabin.
The first Don’t Breathe was a sleeper hit when it was initially released in 2016, and while Don’t Breathe 2 is a sequel, Lang has also asserted that Don’t Breathe 2 will carve out its own identity and be its own thing.
With an R rating now confirmed, Don’t Breathe fans can start to feel even more excited about the continuing adventures of The Blind Man in a follow-up that was previously described by producer and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi as the “greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard.”
Upcoming horror sequel Don’t Breathe 2 has officially earned an R rating from the MPAA due to “strong bloody violence, gruesome images, and language.”
