HOLD YOUR BREATH

Cinemavixion Review

Jared Cohn's 2012 horror offering, 'Hold Your Breath,' taps into a primal fear rooted in folklore: the danger lurking in the unseen, particularly around cemeteries. The premise, which posits that exhaling near a graveyard can invite an evil spirit into one's body, serves as the unsettling catalyst for a weekend camping trip gone terribly wrong. The film follows a group of friends, including performances from Katrina Bowden, Randy Wayne, and Erin Marie Hogan, as they become targets of a malevolent entity that possesses one of their own. While the film garnered a single nomination and a modest 3.3 rating on IMDb, its strength lies in its commitment to its chilling urban legend. 'Hold Your Breath' offers a straightforward, tension-filled descent into terror, making it a noteworthy, albeit niche, entry in the supernatural thriller genre for those who enjoy classic ghost stories with a modern slasher sensibility.
