Hold Your Breath (2024)

Karrie Crouse and William Joines direct Sarah Paulson, Amiah Miller and Annaleigh Ashford in this psychological horror where a mother tries to protect her daughters from the dust storms that ravaged Oklahoma in the 1930s, starvation and a sinister force.

Well crafted but poorly written. Squanders a unique set up and a dynamo central performance for nothing but some vague unease. There are so many set pieces that could arise from the embattled women trying to navigate choking dust clouds and isolation. Instead all we get is the occasional hazy jump scare. It is always nice seeing Annaleigh Ashford getting work and the creepiest moments belong to her.
