Get ready for a thrilling ride as we dive into the world of horror and explore the potential future of the Blind Man trilogy!
The Rise of the Blind Man
Nine years ago, a chilling horror thriller, “Don’t Breathe,” shook audiences to their core. Directed by Fede Álvarez, the film introduced us to a character that would become an iconic villain – the Blind Man, portrayed by the talented Stephen Lang. This complex character, wronged by a trio of thieves, was more than meets the eye. He not only dished out excessive violence but also kept a young woman captive in his basement, a true scoundrel. Yet, in a twist of fate, the sequel transformed him into the protagonist, leaving us with a tale that defied expectations.
The Controversial Sequel and a Thirst for More
“Don’t Breathe 2” picked up years later, with the Blind Man living a quiet life, until his dark past returned to haunt him. The film saw him protecting a young girl he had raised, as they faced a group of kidnappers. The audience was left with a cliffhanger as the Blind Man seemingly met his end. However, Stephen Lang isn’t convinced. In an interview, he expressed his desire to conclude the trilogy with “Don’t Breathe 3,” a film he believes will tie up loose ends and truly make it a trilogy.
The Making of a Trilogy
Álvarez and his writing partner, Rodo Sayagues, crafted a story that left fans wanting more. “Don’t Breathe” told the tale of three teens, masters of home robberies, who targeted a blind man with a hidden fortune. Little did they know, they would become the hunted. The sequel, directed by Sayagues, continued the story, showcasing the Blind Man’s struggle to atone for his sins. Now, Lang hints at a potential third installment, a conclusion that could either satisfy or divide fans.
A Tricky Proposition
Lang acknowledges the challenges ahead, stating, “Don’t Breathe 3” is still a long way off and not guaranteed. He emphasizes the need for perfection, as the first two films set a high bar. While the first was flawless, and the second, very cool, the third must deliver a satisfying conclusion. Lang believes it can happen, and fans are eager to see if their wishes will be granted.
