Based on a long-gestating script by Crouse, who also worked on TV’s similarly sand-blasted Westworld, Hold Your Breath can’t be faulted for its ambition. For their feature debut, Crouse and Joines create a convincingly brutal world that their (largely female) characters must endure.

Hold Your Breath is a chilling psychological thriller that challenges perceptions of reality through Sarah Paulson's troubled protagonist Margaret.
