Comparable to Don't Breathe?

The Good Neighbor is actually superior in terms of production value and giving thinking audiences an indulgence.
Obviously you're free to have your own opinion, but imo this direct to VOD flick is by far inferior to Don't Breath in every category, not just in my opinion, it had a ridiculously successful theatrical run(made a ton multiple weeks) and has extremely positive reviews. It stands at 7.6/10 with over 25k votes, that's nearly the highest rated horror/thriller film on IMDb. This on the other hand, a lot of meh and extremely forgettable. That doesn't mean everyone preferred it over this, but they are the facts, the rest all falls under personal objectivity.
About "giving thinking audiences an indulgence", I don't really understand what it was about watching two immature boys play cruel pranks on an old man that indulged your cerebrum so furiously, guess we'll agree to disagree as I found neither film in that category. -

If you're looking for a scary movie, you're looking in the wrong place. Don't think it could be compared to 'Don't Breathe' at all, other than an old man and teenagers. Thats where the similarity ends. This is more an emotional sucker punch.

Don't Breathe was a great movie, very suspenseful and well paced the whole way through. The Good Neighbor was boring and the whole movie was filler just to get to the twist. This movie had nothing going for it, they thought of that twist, then wrote a lame movie around it.

"Don't Breathe" had a great concept and started out somewhat promising (though the idea of breaking into anyone's home you have ever been in and "finding" their money is pretty idiotic) but then devolved into nonsense.
James Caan here
did something he has not done since I saw "Brian Song" when I was a kid made me cry. -

Don't Breathe was a modern-day exploitation film.
The Good Neighbor was an attempt at making a found footage thriller less annoying by using real actors and actual scenes spliced in (which I can commend), but the twist almost turned this into Boyhood.
