Is Don't Breathe on Netflix?

Don't Breathe is available to watch on streaming site Netflix.

The thriller is so tense, it's said to be scarier than Netflix's Veronica, which is based on a true story and is so terrifying viewers can't make it to the end.

Film critics have hailed Don't Breathe director Fede Alvarez as a "standout master of suspense".

Critic Laura Kern said: "Creating true crawl-under-the-seat, palm-piercing, cover-your-eyes tension is a rare, undervalued cinematic art.

"There’s certainly no shortage of filmmakers who give it a try, but only a select few would make Hitchcock proud…

"Though relatively new to the game, Fede Alvarez is already one of those select few, quickly proving himself a standout master of suspense."
