"Hold Your Breath" is one of the few thrillers I've watched in recent years. It's a top-notch, horror thriller. There are too many twists and turns, except for bizarre events such as demons and gods, or it is a depiction of psychological fear. The former Due to the upgrade of technology, the audience is dazzled, and the audience has suffered from aesthetic fatigue. The latter requires the director and screenwriter to pay attention, and this film is the result of hard work. In a claustrophobic space, four people chase and kill each other. The three young people learned that the owner of the house was a veteran who was blind in both eyes and entered the thief.
