Sam Raimi's intense horror is returning once again. Raimi is an American filmmaker famous for blending horror with slapstick comedy and directing some major superhero blockbusters. In 1981, the filmmaker dropped out of university to make the low-budget horror classic The Evil Dead with Bruce Campbell. Since then, Raimi has been a beloved and well-established name in Hollywood with titles such as the Spider-Man trilogy and Drag Me to Hell under his belt. Now, the filmmaker is bringing back an intense home invasion horror. Dread Central has reported that the horror movie series Don't Breathe is returning with its third installment after Fede Álvarez announced that a script has been written and that Jane Levy and Stephen Lang will also be returning. The news was announced during the tenth anniversary screening of Don't Breathe at Beyond Fest. The first movie from the Don't Breathe horror series was released in 2016, and critics were impressed by the feature directed by Álvarez. Critics gave it a generous rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and stated, "Don’t Breathe is an exemplar of tension and suspense. Its screenplay carefully lays the groundwork, subtly foreshadowing big moments that are skillfully directed by Fede Alvarez," and "This film is so twisted and unpredictable that you'll never expect what's coming next."
