During a recent Reddit AMA session, a fan asked Fede Alvarez about his decision to include such a grotesque sequence in Don’t Breathe.
The Redditor who posed the question specifically voiced distaste for the twist, citing the fact that it felt more like an Eli Roth scene than a Fede Alvarez scene.
I love that twist, and I love that it provokes such a strong reaction from the audience.
Up until the twist, The Blind Man’s still within his legal rights to defend his home.
