Review of Hush

Hush (V) (2008)
7/10
Not too bad for his first feature
24 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this in London, UK at the closing night of the Raindance Film Festival. Granted, there were a couple of things that were a little strange. Most notably, the lasers at the end?

However, not bad for his first feature film, proudly sponsored by lottery money - the guy made it for 1 million GBP (british pounds) and did really well with the threat.

Unlike some other horror films, such as Wolf Creek, where they could have easily avoided the guy and run away several times or killed him instead of getting killed, Hush really is tough because he is on the highway, constantly pursuing this killer that he can't even see.

The film quality is obviously lower than usual films, but it simply adds to the grittiness of Northern UK. I was pretty pleased with the main guy's acting as well from an unknown with a heavy Northern accent. I mean, if it wasn't for his unwavering intensity and acting ability, the film would have been crap. The actor had to fully hold up the story on his acting and intensity alone in many scenes.

Well done and looking forward to more stuff from you on the UK scene!
