Co-written by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues (with Sayagues sitting in the director’s chair this time around), Don’t Breathe 2 is set eight years after the first movie, and finds Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang) – the villain from the first movie – experiencing a strange level of peace.
While he doesn’t have a child of his own, he has a kind of new family thanks to the presence of 11-year-old Phoenix (Madelyn Grace), whom he cares for like a daughter.
One night, Nordstrom unfortunately once again finds himself the victim of another home invasion, but the big difference this time around is not only that the crew isn’t a trio of young punks trying to steal some money, but instead violent and aggressive individuals who seem to know exactly what they are going up against when squaring off against the blind Nordstrom.
