I just finished watching Hold Your Breath (2024) and man this movie was a very dull and boring experience.

Positives for Hold Your Breath (2024): Sarah Paulson gives a great performance as the main protagonist in this movie and she is the reason why I watched this movie in the first place. There was some intrigue to be had with this gothic old folk horror movie set in the country side during the 1930s. And finally, there is some great camerawork and sound design throughout the runtime.

Negative for Hold Your Breath (2024): Aside from Sarah Paulson, none of the characters are interesting and they are very bland. The movie also doesn't do anything with its premise or the main villain. And finally, the movie is very predictable by the time you reach the climax.

Overall, Hold Your Breath (2024) is a interesting horror movie with its premise, but it ends up being very generic with its execution.

It's 1933 Oklahoma. Margaret Bellum (Sarah Paulson) is struggling to survive the dust bowl with her two daughters after her husband left to find work. Her youngest is deaf and fears a demonic dust man. Instead, preacher Wallace Grady (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) shows up promising miracles.

I know that this wants to be a poetic horror fantasy family drama thriller. It doesn't actually deliver on any one of those things although it delivers something from each one of them. I want this to go harder on the horror or thrills or the family drama. Pick one. This could be a cool horror. I can see the dust storm as something unique. Wallace could be a scarier presence or maybe someone less obvious. No matter what, I would like this to pick one lane and go harder in that lane.

Hold Your Breath 2024. I have not understood this movie. The Grey Man, was it an imagination of mother Margaret (Sarah Paulson) She is shown taking tablets to sleep peacefully and avoiding sleep walking. Paulson performance was i really wanted to say very atrocious. The mother all she did was imaginations and did committed a crime for first degree murder, there was moments of the film that was completely stupid but actually funny at the same time. When I saw Apartment 7A, this had one of my favorite musics on my Spotify Playlist. Rose (Amiah Miller) looks like a young Moretz. But her character development choice was probably the same atrocious as her mother Margaret. This was a boring movie and won't watch this again, the intensity was a zero.
