The film often does too much, reaching for too many different sources for its attempted thrills and chills, which results in a mostly scattered experience. However, it has a couple of notable strengths. The first is its handful of tense moments. The second is its sense of paranoia surrounding sickness, in ways that mirror the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Both of these eventually fade, but what remains consistent through its runtime is its committed lead performance from Sarah Paulson, who proves once again that horror would be poorer without her. A mere three-year absence from the genre feels too long, even if she deserves a stronger comeback. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The year is 1933, at a time when the Oklahoma panhandle was subject to severe, debilitating dust storms. With her husband away building bridges out of state, Margaret (Paulson) is left to look after her two daughters, teenager Rose (Amiah Miller) and adolescent Ollie (stellar Deaf-mute actress Alona Jane Robbins), not long after her third daughter succumbed to a sickness. Death lingers in the air like spores. This feeling permeates every frame thanks to the film\u2019s sickly, desaturated palette. Each scene leaves Margaret worried about the dust that not only settles on every surface, but floats through the air, sneaking into her home through minor cracks. Crouse and Joines frequently cut to POV shots of light shimmering off these tiny (though still entirely visible) bits of debris, before using Paulson\u2019s paranoid expression to build lingering unease in quiet moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    However, \u201cHold Your Breath\u201d is also a noisy film, and while its loudest moments wouldn\u2019t work without the contrast of the aforementioned silence, it relies too much on sudden bursts of sound to unsettle. The first few times Margaret\u2019s dreams of greenery are interrupted by sudden storms \u2014 accompanied by both Paulson\u2019s screams and the screams of the wind \u2014 it proves surprising. However, it\u2019s a trick on which the film relies time after time, to the point of becoming mechanical. After a while, the result isn\u2019t so much scary or unsettling as it is irritating and predictable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As the film establishes its scant rural community and their little safety rituals \u2014 like tying twine ropes to their doors so they can find their way back home during blinding storms \u2014 Margaret\u2019s daughters also become invested in a storybook. This horror fable tells of a shadowy figure, the Grey Man, who seeps into people\u2019s homes like dust and makes them do terrible things. All the while, hints come to the fore about Margaret\u2019s health in the wake of her daughter\u2019s death a few year\u2019s prior. She now takes pills to curb her sleepwalking and some dangerous behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It isn\u2019t hard to put two and two together about what fears the Grey Man represents for Margaret (the film induces distinctly modern discomfort surrounding ailments in the air, with characters wearing masks for safety) or what Margaret\u2019s role in the film will end up being, given her past. However, numerous detours ensure that the story spins its wheels for extended periods before letting Paulson dive headfirst into its most enjoyably shlocky territory. She\u2019s a treat to watch, even when the rest of the movie isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    To add to the existing drama, rumors of a local drifter and murderer dovetail with the arrival of a stranger at Margaret\u2019s home (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), a preacher who claims to know her husband, and who also <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to have supernatural powers. Moss-Bachrach walks a fine line between comfort and suspicion, bolstered by the girls\u2019 fears over their bedtime story (could this be the Grey Man in human form?), but this subplot feels awkwardly wedged into \u201cHold Your Breath\u201d from an entirely different movie. Things move quickly from one premise to the next, and yet, too little happens along the way, despite this swift unveiling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The film does eventually find its way back to its central tale of a grieving mother struggling to protect her kids from an unforgiving world \u2014 and from herself. However, by the time it unleashes its most terrifying ideas (which happen to be its most intimate), it hasn\u2019t picked up nearly enough windspeed for them to land with the thundering force they ought to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
