Hold Your Breath Official Poster

At first,Hold Your Breathseems to introduce a true evil spirit of some kind, the Gray Man.

Wallace is not the man of God he claims to be.

If Wallace was indeed the Gray Man, though, this ending is much more terrifying.

This could mean that the Gray Man is still at large, able to possess another.

Of course, this all hinges on whether the Gray Man was real in the first place.

This could also be metaphorical, however.

The directors certainly achieved what they set out to accomplish in that respect.
