Real-life couple writer/editor/director Mike Flanagan and writer/actress Kate Siegel beautifully collaborate for a second time in making Hush. An indie, low-budget, home invasion, one-location horror with a simple premise that cuts to the chase: A deaf woman needs to survive a masked intruder’s invasion.
Hush stands tall amongst genre giants such as The Strangers (2008), The Last House on the Left (2009), When A Stranger Calls (2006), and more. Flawed yet effective, it proves undoubtedly that jump scares and unnecessary screaming are not horror’s obligatory elements for success. With Flanagan’s enthralling perspective and Siegel’s and Gallagher Jr.’s extremely engaging performances, a well-paced, thrilling hour and twenty minutes will fly by.
