A Screen Gems and Ghost House Pictures production, Don’t Breathe takes place in Detroit and centers on a trio of friends who routinely commit small time burglaries. When they uncover a score that they think will see them set for life, the group decide to break into the house of a blind man, thinking it will be easy to get in and out with a sizable amount of cash. As it turns out, what was to be an easy take may end up becoming the last thing any of them ever do.

Don’t Breathe was scripted by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues and is produced by Ghost House’s Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert alongside Joseph Drake, Nathan Kahane and J.R. Young. Look for it to open in theaters Friday, August 26.
