In case you’re as blind as the man in Don’t Breathe and missed the headline, this post is going to include spoilers. That’s because you can’t talk about a movie like this without talking about The Scene. Which scene, you ask? Oh, you’ll know it when you see it. And you won’t be able to un-see it, either.
I’m talking about the scene where would-be rape victim Rocky (26-year-old Jane Levy) turns the tables on her blind rapist (64-year-old Stephen Lang, utterly terrifying) and empties a baster full of his own semen into his mouth, prompting him to spit up his own ejaculate.
The Baster Scene, as it will soon be called, is beyond repulsive, and yet it manages to elevate Don’t Breathe from mere genre-offering-of-the-week to something truly disturbing and unforgettable. The moment is so out of place in an American studio movie that it should be applauded for its sheer chutzpah, as it really is the ultimate act of revenge. Frankly, the Baster Scene feels like something you’d see in a horror movie out of France (Inside), Japan (Visitor Q), or Serbia (A Serbian Film).
