Hold Your Breath Trailers

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.

Reviews
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
loomis78-815-989034 A group of twenty something friends and couples head to the mountains for some fun. When they approach a graveyard they're going to pass Jerry (Bowden) tells everyone to hold their breath so no spirits can enter them and possess them. Supposedly based on an urban legend know one including the audience has ever heard of. Of course pothead Kyle (Seth Cassell) inhales his smoke along with the spirit of Van Hausen (Keith Allen) a notorious serial killer executed at a nearby prison and buried in the cemetery. Before you can scream "lousy digital effects" Kyle is possessed and slaughters a cop who stops by to help when no one else is around. This spirit can hop into other bodies which it does multiple times while picking off members of the group along the way. This tedious film has terrible characters, lousy dialog and even worse digital effects. With almost no practical make up effects at all, the filmmakers put their trust in digital effects and fail miserably. The digital blood (and there is a lot of it) splashes around like you were watching a cartoon. The characters whine back and forth making any audience member over the age of 25 want to see them all die. The cast is good looking and try to make this believable but it is so poorly written nothing could save it. Once again, I don't have to mention there isn't a scare in sight. Do I?
artpf There is an old wives' tale that you should hold your breath when passing by a cemetery lest an evil spirit rejected by both heaven and hell gets inside of you when you inhale.

The film starts off horribly unbelievably. Then it cuts to present time but the film is horrible.
TdSmth5 In the intro a guy is about to be executed by electric chair in a hospital for the criminally insane in the 50s. For a moment he frees himself, kills some guards, and recited religious warnings to the witnesses. But he's caught again and executed.Back in our time, 7 kids go for a road trip to camp. When they drive past a cemetery one of the girls screams out that they have to hold their breath, because as legend has it, spirits of bad people could roam around cemeteries and could possess you if you don't hold your breath. They all do except one of the guys who's too busy smoking pot all the time.When they make a pitstop they discover the abandoned hospital nearby and go to investigate, except dope-head who is indeed possessed by the spirit of our villain from the intro. He kills a cop and acts like a jerk toward his friends.Eventually they make it to camp, but the evil spirit jumps to another guy and he drives back to cemetery with one of the girls, whom, he kills gruesomely. When the rest of the kids go looking for them they run into an old cranky hospital guard who knows exactly what is going on and wants to put an end to it.I haven't seen an Asylum horror movie in a long time. Things have changed quite a bit. The movie looks good, except during the night when all the actors have some glow in their eyes. The acting is very good by the entire cast. Unfortunately, the script is a bit unfinished. Direction and editing are amateurish. One wonders whether some of the mistakes are on purpose, that's how silly they are. But the cast is attractive, the girls are gorgeous, there's some nudity, some gore, however some of the special effects look like they came from an 80s movie. Overall, a botched B movie saved by the charismatic cast.
Dawn Jackson Instead of Hold Your Breath it should have been titled Close Your Eyes...yes folks, it was *that* bad. Some of the lines of dialog were absolutely hilarious though I am quite sure they weren't meant to be. I'll never see bobcats or sandpaper in the quite the same way again. The actors attempts at actually acting were quite painful to watch and it would appear that most of them all used the same dentist as a majority of them had teeth that closely resembled chiclets.The entire premise of this ridiculous film was flawed from the beginning but I won't try and explain why this movie was so awful and in so many ways as I am currently trying to erase it from my memory and forget that I ever watched it. Avoid this one at all costs.
