HUSH MOVIE REVIEW 2016
Hush movie is a 2016 American horror movie edited and directed by Mike Flanagan, starring. The movie co-stars John Gallagher Jr., Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan, and Emilia"Emma" Graves. Trevor Macy produced it through Blumhouse Productions via Jason Blum and Intrepid Pictures.
He knocks on the door. Maddie does not respond. The killer decides he wants to prolong play games and her destiny with her, and becomes fascinated with Maddie. He begins by stealing her mobile phone that evening and texting her pictures of herself. Then after the cat has shown himself, he does not just kill her. In"Hush," the psychotic killer's motives are obscure, so if he is only a lunatic killing for pleasure, why not have a little bit more of it?
Maddie (Kate Siegel) is a deaf-mute author, living in a secluded house. It is a set up that short story master Stephen King would adore, and it is no coincidence that we see his Mr. Mercedes on a dresser. The greatest strength of the film emphasized as Maddie cooks supper: the design, in the scene.
We hear onions chopped, eggs cracking, asparagus sizzling on the stove -- and then as we close in on her face, the noise falls away. She has been deaf since age 13, and we get a little more of her background and how her mind works when neighbor/friend Sarah comes over for a short trip (Samantha Sloyan).
Not all those surprises work. The complaints about what it is, even if it is new, for a movie that works. We watch horror thrillers such as"Hush" not to find the wheel reinvented but simply to see it spin nicely.
It is one of those horror flicks that compact it seems at just 82 minutes.He does not resort to the jump scare tactics that mar so many movies that are comparable low-budget. In actuality, the most terrifying, shocking moments in"Hush" typically come with no loud music cue or pouncing cat, which manufacturers commonly think is essential to get you to jump.
There are options in the last act I won't spoil but actually did not work for me (the script foreshadows it, which made me fear its inevitability even more), but that is a better-than-average, essentially-VOD thriller for the weekend which could provide a glimpse at the future of festival-to-streaming titles.
Flanagan is surprisingly reserved with"Hush" in that a good deal of filmmakers could have fallen back on more suggestions to keep the audience engaged in what's a mostly silent movie. He doesn't permit the unnamed"Man" to monologue his way through the film. He does not amp up the score (at least before the last act). He lets his work for the 40 minutes of this movie as our two characters go toward the orgasm. And he saves a couple of surprises for the act.
