Cinematographer Pedro Luque’s camera glides through the two-story residence like an all-seeing eye, offering alluring views of what awaits our not-quite-heroes: a locked-off basement, pitch-black hallways, and, of course, the sleeping giant upstairs. In typical movie-Detroit fashion, the visually-impaired vet’s neighborhood is a ghost town - his is the only house on the block that’s even inhabited. It’s a classic “What could go wrong?” scenario in which the answer is, once again: “Everything.” This would appear to make him an easy mark to the trio of Rocky ( Jane Levy, “Suburgatory”), Alex ( Dylan Minnette, “Goosebumps”) and Money (Daniel Zovatto, “It Follows”), who use keys from Alex’s father (an employee at a home-security company) to break into their targets’ homes. The money and skeletons are linked, of course, as the unnamed Iraq War survivor ( Stephen Lang) received a large settlement after his teenage daughter was killed in a car accident some years earlier.

An inverted home-invasion thriller, “Don’t Breathe” makes a striking first impression but overstays its welcome as it explores a pleasingly simple idea: What if the intruders had more to fear than their target? That clever premise is a welcome guest in the crowded subgenre of which it’s a part, but co-writer and director Fede Alvarez, in his followup to 2013’s “Evil Dead” remake, runs out of party tricks during the home stretch.
