Synopsis
Rocky, a teenage delinquent living with neglectful parents, promises her younger sister that they will start their own lives together and move away from their dysfunctional family. Looking for the right amount of cash to run away with in order to do so, her boyfriend, Money, convinces her to break into the home of a blind man who supposedly has a safe in the basement. Breaking into the house in the middle of the night with their friend Alex, they discover that the blind man is not as helpless as he seems, and soon find themselves in a game of cat-and-mouse with a man willing and ready to kill all three.

Production
Fede Alvarez noted that the film was, in some ways, a reaction to his debut film Evil Dead, specifically the fact the criticisms that the film had too much blood, focused too much on shocking the audience and was a remake. In contrast Alvarez decided to make an original story that contained no blood and focus more on the suspense aspect over shocking audiences.[7] He wanted to avoid making a film dealing with the supernatural as he felt that it was too trendy.[7] Choosing to make the antagonist blind was a result of deliberately taking abilities away from him: Alvarez explains: "Sometimes you naturally give them powers and make them more menacing than a normal person, so we thought what if we do the other way around and take his eyes out and make him a blind person."[7]
On May 1, 2015, Daniel Zovatto joined the cast.[6] On May 22, 2015, Dylan Minnette was cast in the film.[5] On June 18, 2015, Jane Levy and Stephen Lang joined the cast.[4] Principal photography began on June 29, 2015.[8] Though the film is set in Detroit, it was primarily shot in Hungary; only a few shots of Detroit were filmed there.[2] Alvarez estimates that the film cost roughly half as much as Evil Dead and welcomed the change as it allowed for less studio interference.
