Review of Hush (2016) by Gentm2015 — 06 Jun 2016

Director Mike Flanagan has already proven himself on the horror genre many times before. Now however, he exceeds all of his previous work with Hush. A psychological horror thriller movie that is very entertaining. This movie is perfectly directed and amazingly written. The premise is nothing new but the execution is what makes it, special and as good as it is.

Even though it is produced on a small budget and has a rather short running time, it still manages to keep us intrigued and at the edge of out seats. The ending is also very satisfying too.

All the actors do a wonderful job here. The dark tone and the R rating is what helps this movie qualify as genuinely scary at times. It takes the familiar premise and the cliches that come with it, and makes something new out of it. And that's a very hard thing to do, but proven possible by M. Flanagan.

I really enjoyed Hush, and while it isn't groundbreaking or anything (which it isn't even trying to be), it is still a fast paced, thrilling, scary and tense movie completed by very good performances and amazing directing.
