Review of Hush

"Hush" begins with an interesting and unique concept that makes it look like it has the potential to differentiate itself from the usual home invasion film. A deaf and mute writer is targeted by a killer in her isolated house in the woods. The simple fact that she is deaf and mute is what offers something unique but that is where it ends. It doesn't take long for "Hush" to play up all the cliches involving phones, lone neighbours stumbling over and getting themselves killed, and a stupid ending with the done-to-death finish, where the killer has the lead pinned to the ground, strangling the life out of them, before they conveniently reach out and just grab some random weapon before driving it through the villains throat. I'll give it the 5 star average for the tense atmosphere. And it was disturbing in parts. But other than that I can't recommend it.
