Fede Alvarez nails the tone of Don’t Breathe right from the start. It implores the audience, as does the film itself, to just breathe. “Breathe In” reunites Ms. Jones with the director Drake Doremus and his co-screenwriter, Ben York Jones; their film “Like Crazy” was a small prestige hit in 2011.

Breathe - The inspiring true love story of Robin and Diana Cavendish, an adventurous couple who refuse to give up in the face of a devastating disease. While Jonathan is playing with his dog, the dog knocks out the plug of the ventilator. Jonathan, now in his twenties, and Diana see Aitken driving away and return to the house.
