janjordan The script has a few bright moments, but ultimately the movie fails for me. The good things about "hush" is some relative decent acting and some basic understanding on the directing level. Especially in the beginning there is some exhausting but ultimately realistic character work going on. There are some thrills and there is some tension. On the other hand, the camera work is bad and the overall story is full of clichés an leads nowhere. Later one, some of the events make no sense at all and the motivation of some characters is a pure mystery to me. What kills the movie in the end is that i found the main characters quite unlikeable which made me not care at all for them.
platesofevil I ummmed and ahhed about renting this film for ages, mainly due to two early warning signs: 1) It's billed as a 'brilliant' British horror (yeah, right), and 2) It's produced by Screen Yorkshire (who also made that wonderful (SARCASM ALERT), ahem, other 'brilliant' British horror 'The Cottage'). How I wished I'd trusted my initial instinct! The acting is atrocious, the script is unbelievably bad, and the title has no bearing on the film whatsoever. It feels like Duel meets The Vanishing meets Breakdown meets... Coronation Street. The Labrador was nice though. Perhaps 'Hush' refers to the fact that after watching this tripe, you really won't want to talk about it with anyone....
RickHarvey Motorways can be a eerie and lonely place to be when driving late one night. So the concept of the film , that being a trucker kidnapping women on motorways, was a good place to set an horror film. You got the dry deserts of Texas for TCM, and the dry deserts of Australia for wolf creek and now you got the empty motorways and services stops of Britain.The first half an hour of the film I rather enjoyed, the atmosphere was well created . The acting from William ash wasn't all to great, either was the dialogue seeing that the first half an hour mainly consists of an Eastenders type argument. Most horrors today can put me to sleep but Hush managed to keep me awake, this is probably because of the location they used , one that I am so used to . But the problem was that it didn't leave me with a satisfying feeling when it finished. What I watched was a bloke going out on a rescue mission for an hour. There were many unanswered questions such as , what was the killer doing with the girls?, why he captured them? Who the bloke at the store? If we knew why, then there would be more depth in the film, giving you more a disturbing creation. Also there were to many clichés . I know the horror genre is the hardest to reinvent, but can the director and writers please try and come up with new ideas . Also , what was up with the shaking effect when having a conversation at a table. It was very distracting but as soon as they get up and walk, the camera is locked, no movement whatsoever. There probably a meaning behind this ( I hope ) The plot was simple , not that this is bad as films such as Halloween have simple plots. But unlike Halloween , it failed to capture you into the situation of what the character was facing. Overall it was blunt and poorly delivered. Not one I'll watch again or even bring up in a conversation
non-shill The only reason I give this movie a 4 is that it's not out-and-out boring. That's about all the good I can say about it.I found it difficult to understand the actors at times, with that awful accent. Good thing I had subtitles.The film is full of clichés. Miles of them. The antagonist is a big, silent, well-muscled and scary guy. He likes wearing hoods--all the time. Talking, not so much. And he walks verrrrrrrrry slowly, even when following someone. Go figure. Cars will be disabled at the worst possible time. The protagonist makes one annoying and stupid decision after another.The plot is a joke. There are more loopholes and loose ends than I care to recollect. What was the involvement of the security guard? Why was that one girl helping the psycho? Why are the girls being abducted in the first place? What's going on here? At the end, we never find out. There's no sense of closure or completion, no rhyme or reason. Just a dead hood-wearing scary guy.And that's why this movie sucks.
