Friends on a weekend camping trip fail to abide by the urban
legend of holding your breath when you drive by a cemetery and unwillingly
unleash the spirit of a serial killer killed at the nearby prison and buried in
the cemetery. Here in lies the basic
plot of the film Hold Your Breath
(2012).
There’s not much to be said about this by-the-books low
budget horror film as the plot follows that of most films that have a group of
friends that venture into a place they shouldn’t. They stop momentarily after passing by the
cemetery where they are experiencing car troubles. They venture into the abandoned prison where
they experience some paranormal happenings one of which is that the serial
killer that they have raised can switch from person to person so that none of
them know who to trust from one moment to the next.
The one thing you have to hand it to the film-makers is that
it’s never boring as it has the required sex and violence and gore and is
entertaining in a dumb z-movie way. The
story is by Kenny Zinn but the screenplay is written by Geoff Meed and the film
is directed by Jared Cohen. There is
nothing in the film that will be new to horror film enthusiasts and you’ll
probably forget about this film soon after viewing it.
