‘Hold Your Breath’ Review: Sarah Paulson Acts Up A Dust Storm And Battles Personal Demons In Psychological Horror Story
A review of 'Hold Your Breath' , a psychological horror thriller with Sarah Paulson as a mother in 1930's Oklahoma battling demons and dust storms.
There are the few townspeople that she has to keep her sane for the most part as their homestead, a sparesly furnished house (Tim Grimes is the Production Designer) sits alone in the wilderness of this barren landscape, the kind of place you might easily go mad in. And that is exactly what we slowly witness in the case of Margaret, who is also dealing with a mysterious stranger, Wallace Grady ( The Bear Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach), a self-described preacher and healer who does in fact profess he has “cured” Rose’s chronic nosebleeds and promises to make Ollie hear again. Crouse (who also wrote the screenplay) and Joines succeed best here in creating a landscape of sheer terror due to the intensity of dust, sensationally rendered by Visual Effects wizards Dale Fay and Werner Hahnlein, with the help of cinematographer Zoe White’s haunting images.
