Hush was one of them random picks on Netflix. I'd never heard of it but I wanted a film with a shorter run time to watch one night so decided to give it a try.
Hush is a basic story. The film follows Maddie (portrayed excellently by Kate Siegel) who is deaf and non verbal. She's a writer who lives alone in a very remote place.
The film is only 1 hour & 20 minutes so it gets pretty much straight to the point that she is going to be terrorized by an intruder. There is a few small jump scares along the way but the film's horror comes more from the tension and atmosphere it creates.
At times the film plays out like a silent movie & the atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat. It bubbles away nicely and I really started to like the main character and cared/hoped that she would survive.
There isn't much else to say but if you like atmospheric thrillers then you will probably enjoy this. There's a few minutes build up at the beginning and then the rest of the film is basically all in one location leading up to a bloody finale.
Well worth checking out. 8/10.
