Such a frustrating disappointment

Absolutely the worst movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

I read other reviews of this film and decided too give a "2" rather than "1". Simply because the arguments made are valid and I like to keep an open mind.Generally, I love British thrillers. A poor budget or mediocre acting aside, the British usually do things better than the Americans (just my humble American opinion). However, this film takes all the bad things from American thrillers and gives them a British nuance. The film is as if C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer, in "THE HITCHER" had a baby with LeeLee Sobieski and Paul Walker in "Joy Ride". The result is less than entertaining.So my dear horror and thriller fans, give yourself a break. Pass on this one. It will only disappoint.

"Only you saw it. Only you can save them" the tagline reads. This is more or less the theme of this British thriller. Zakes Abbot (William Ash) spots something rather disturbing on the road, a woman caged in the back of a van, and has a dilemma of whether to follow and help or shrug it off as someone else's problem. After a small effort of calling the police and attempting (and failing) to read the dirty number plate, Zakes chooses the latter. That is until his girlfriend goes missing and he realises he has a more personal stake in pursuing the captor.What follows is a fairly straight-forward cat & mouse chase as Zakes tails and evades the villain simultaneously, bringing to mind the 2003 French thriller High Tension (AKA Switchblade Romance) which as you might expect with that title is essentially one long suspense sequence. The tension in Hush doesn't quite allow it such a cocky title as the French film, but it is a good attempt nonetheless and it provides a few "No don't go there!" or "He's behind you!" moments. The film does however contain almost all the horror clichés, and although it tries to subvert one or two, this is nothing new and horror fans will see everything a mile off. As far as the plot goes, it would have been acceptable as a simple chase-thriller if it weren't for one scene (involving the security guards) which just seemed unnecessary and too contrived even for this already improbable story. Still, at 90mins it's an easy, enjoyable thriller that's worth a watch.

I watched this not expecting much, and yeah some of the acting was a bit dubious but overall I was very impressed. When I started watching it I sat there with my finger on the stop button, but that button was never pressed as I was truly hooked. I really felt for the lead character and thought he played the part well. I was also surprised by a few twists here and there which would give Hollywood a run for its money.For a movie that was obviously on a budget (made with help from the lottery) I think it can stand proud with the multi-million pound big boys from the USA.A good thriller worth watching
