Details

There is an old wives tale that you should hold your breath when passing by a cemetery because an evil spirit rejected by both heaven and hell can get inside of you when you inhale. Somewhere in a carload of college kids on holiday doesn't follow the rules when driving by a graveyard, allowing a spirit of a recently executed serial killer to get inside him/her to begin a killing spree of body-jumping carnage.

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
BadlandZ No spoilers here, just basics.The acting was fair to OK. The story/script was fair/OK (interesting, but maybe a little to detailed and over-thought, which COULD be OK or great).But the direction and production of this just blew any "watchability" elements apart. What was reoccurring themes got lost in the convoluted mishmash of the director over emphasizing things that didn't matter, and letting things that do matter just slip right past. Then throwing in totally unneeded special effects that added nothing, and actually detracted from the ability to get into the story. On and on and on, ever 10 minutes part of me went "ok, I get why the actor played it that way, but why did they shoot the scene like that, and edit it that way, it might has well of been a live play on stage..."If you can see past the horrible production of this movie, there is some decent acting and an interesting story underneath. But, to be honest, it's SO difficult to see because of the horrible production, I couldn't recommend ANYONE try to watch this movie (unless you are only doing so to get horror movie story ideas and see if the actors in it are any good).
TheLittleSongbird The Asylum have made some tolerable movies, but a vast majority of their work, especially those from the disaster movie genre, is terrible. Hold Your Breath is far from their worst and is redeemable, but at the same time it is generally a poor movie. It does have a pretty effective opening sequence, a couple of inventive deaths, the beautiful Katrina Bowden giving a quite intense performance, Steve Hanks stealing every scene he's in and the hilarious line "You look as confused as a baby in a titty bar!". For me though, that's all there is to Hold Your Breath. The rest of the actors don't distinguish themselves and come across as bland and awkward. Actually Seth Cassell isn't so bad, he does have some acting talent but it is a talent that is not used very well at all in the movie because like all the actors he has little to work with. The actors do struggle with very cookie-cutter and severely underdeveloped characters and also a clunky script- that throws things in and leaves them unexplained often. McBride has the best lines easily, though I was never sure whether they were supposed to be taken seriously or for comedy. Excusing that the story is very derivative, with an idea that has been done to death already, the telling of it is very by-the-numbers, even some of the inventive deaths are not enough to disguise lazy exposition, really bad pedestrian pacing(especially after the prologue until McBride is introduced) or a distractingly goofy final act(like I was watching a different movie all of a sudden). The villain is not very memorable or menacing either. The direction and editing are amateurish at best, and the music doesn't gel with the atmosphere, some of the songs even sounded like bad, forgettable knock-offs of Evanescence. All in all, a poor movie but the Asylum has done worse than this. 4/10 Bethany Cox
mxdcubanboi Total waste of my time if I could get my money back for renting this movie I would but acting was horrible plot was stupid and not to mention the fake animated fire, and dude that helped them towards the end of the movie said he didn't have a car but when he let them escape somehow he pops up with a Toyota, than when there leaving driving down the road kept switching back and forth between the Toyota they escaped with and the Chevy they went to the camp grounds in, like every 5 secs they were playing Chinese fire drill, oh and one more thing the egg beater part when the chick took out dude eye, a 2 year old could have seen the egg beater was like 5 inches away from dudes eye and you can tell that when she left and he's laying on the floor you can obviously tell it was a plastic prop or something on his eye, the movie was just altogether terrible and the director either shouldn't have even made this movie or did one hell of a better job instead of half assen it, please for the love of god do not try to make a sequel and if you do, have someone else direct it because this movie was terrible and awful and a waste of money
SunGirlSunday Pleas don't waste your time. This is one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. I only gave it a rating of two and that's only because the plot line was actually interesting. The plot of the movie got me interested enough to try to watch this movie, and believe me... I tried... two times and just couldn't get through the whole thing. My boyfriend however did make it through the whole movie and said it wouldn't be worth my time to try to make it through it again. Wardrobe had me laughing for the parts I could stay awake for. One girl shows her boobs and they are so weird! I could't help but to laugh. I don't know if they were just weird, or if it was a botched boob job. The acting was really poor as well. It's a snore fest of a movie.
