Review of Hush (2016) by Solinvicta — 13 Apr 2016
'Hush' is a lot like 'The Strangers', except instead of strangers plural it's only one man, and instead of a husband and wife being terrorized it's a deaf and mute recluse. It's very tense and cleverly written bar a few cliche tropes that come with this kind of movie.
It also has a minimal synth score, something I notice more and more horror movies are utilizing - 'You're Next', 'It Follows' - to give it an '80s classic slasher atmosphere. I was thoroughly satisfied watching this movie.
It's constantly engaging, has great acting, and a few scenes are genuinely depraved and chilling. It doesn't break any new ground, but with 'The Babadook' in 2014 and 'It Follows' last year, 'Hush' continues to bode well for the future of horror.
