Flabulous In struggling to find a suitable ending to her novel, she overcomes her writer's block when finding a potential ending in her struggle against a home invader. Contrived, to say the least. The unique angle of this film was her deafness, which you might imagine would up the suspense, but it's not used in any creative way and is instead forgotten about. What are we left with? A random killer, randomly killing, with a roll-of-the-dive defeat at the end. Final shot? Well, despite the hole in her leg and fingers broken in every direction, she lets out a little smile. Wtf.

rickhurst-50431 Please DO NOT read this review until after you've watched the movie!!! Ok, Maddie makes it clear a couple of times that she has 7 different endings to the book she is writing but can't decide which she wants to use. At a critical point in the film she manages to get to her laptop and write a goodbye note to her Mom and using the phrase "I died fighting". Later on there is a scene where the killer is on on top of her and choking her on the floor. Everything goes silent EXCEPT for the sound of her pounding heartbeat getting slower and slower until...there is no sound at all and she closes her eyes. This is the point at which she DIES in the film. Everything after that is just a fantasy of her overtaking and killing the killer. Now, when she is sitting on her front porch and you can see the approaching police cars, notice her eyes are closed with a slight smile on her face...THAT was Maddie's ending. Loved the movie!

Platypuschow The slasher genre was at it's peak in the 80's, when the 90's came it began to struggle and in this guys opinion it's never fully recovered. Sure every once in a while a high profile slasher movie pops up but the interest never seems to last.I'd say a primary reason is that they're all the same but that could be said about a lot of horror sub-genres.Here we have the story of a mute/deaf author who lives out secluded in the forest and you guessed it she falls foul of a masked killer.The fact she's deaf actually adds more of an element to the movie than you'd imagine and though Hush suffers from the same Slasher tropes as every other it manages to stay fresh regardless.Well shot, well written and well acted by both little known leads I came away from Hush very satisfied. Sure it's nothing revolutionary but it didn't need to be, it's a demonstration that slashers still have life left in them.The Good:Cat survived!Some well crafted momentsBoth leads were excellentThe Bad:Slasher tropesThings I Learnt From This Movie:Sometimes lack of motive makes a killer that much scarierIf anyone tried to hurt my cats the arrow would be going up their butt not in their shoulders

hollybell-66764 How are people giving bad reviews ??? Are you watching the same movie? How high are your expectations? I absolutely loved this movie. I love horror movies and am usually a tough critic, which is why I definitely mean it when I say this is a good movie. Great even. Great acting and great story line.
