Review of Hush (2016) by Caf2042 — 01 Mar 2018
Hush is 2016 Horror movie directed by acclaimed horror director Mike Flanagan. This movie is about a deaf writer named Maddie, who lives alone in the woods. One night, a man wearing a mask shows up outside her house.
From there, the movie becomes an excellent thriller that I loved. Mike Flanagan has a great sense of what scares his audience, and this shows in his excellent direction. The shots are long and drawn out, and fill the audience with a sense of dread.
Because the main character is deaf, the movie features little dialogue, which helps permeate the movie with a feeling of isolation. The lead performance by actress Kate Siegel is excellent, and she really sells a character who is surprisingly resourceful in defending herself.
The man who played the killer was also excellent, and by the end, I was really rooting for him to die. My only real fault with the movie was the gore. Most of it was cool, and realistic looking, but one scene involving a broken hand went way too far and was pretty disgusting.
Overall, Hush is another excellent horror film from Mike Flanagan.
