Wow, I didn't expected a lot from this title and I ended up loving it! I'm a fan of home invasion movies, so I said... "okay, let's give this one a try, it's short, and I will probably end up liking it". I was right, but I couldn't believe how good this was! First, the movie starts as the average home invasion film, but with all the twists and turns gives this genre a new fresh view, with the main character being deaf and mute. The question that was going through my mind through the whole movie is how her disability made her situation 10 times harder. If you can't speak or hear, and if you're at a life or death situation in a place where you can't even be heard or seen, you're probably a goner, but Hush dares the viewers to root and see how a seemingly harmless lead quickly evolves to an amazing heroine. Kudos to Kate Siegel for playing such a strong lead without saying a single word, I even believed she was deaf-mute in real life. John Gallager Jr. does a great job as the killer, he accomplishes to be, well... hated by the viewer. The movie doesn't let you breathe (literally!), kicking off strong and staying like that until the very end. It might not be super believable or realistic, but the truth is that "Hush" is a roller-coaster that will stop your heart and make you scream at your TV, that you won't even mind. One of the best horror movies of the last few years.
