Maddie (Katie Siegel) suffered meningitis at the age of 13, which left her deaf-mute. Years have passed since then, Maddie has adapted to her new reality and has even become a writer - with her first book proving to be quite popular. Now the girl is working on a second novel, but her solitude is interrupted by a random homicidal maniac, who can not pass by such a luxurious opportunity to entertain a dull evening.

Although listed under Introducing (first time on screen) in the film's closing credits, Katie Siegel has been acting in movies since 2007 and had a significant role in the feature Oculus, among others
Mike Flanagan is another young da early horror prodigy who made the talk first with the short film “Oculus” and then its feature-length version. “Oculus” earned more than $ 40 million with a budget of 5 million, so Flanagan predictably swamped with work for five years ahead (among his immediate plans for the second part of ‘Ouiji’ and the adaptation of Stephen King's story ‘Gerald's Game’), but fate has decreed that some of his pictures slightly delayed on the way to the audience (“Somnia”, which Flanagan filmed two years ago, gets to the big screens only now), but now fall on us like a cornucopia.

In “Hush” only five actors, nothing scenery and the absolute minimum of dialogues (paradise for the translator!) - since the main character can not hear anything, there is little point in talking to her. And in general, what can you say to a girl you are going to send to the other world? Having made sure that she can read lips, the maniac will honestly tell her his plan (to torture her well - so that she starts begging for death - and then kill her) and immediately proceed to its fulfillment.

Of course, in the genre of thrillers about unfriendly uninvited guests it is unrealistically difficult to say something fundamentally new, but, it must be said, the move with the deafness of the main character allows you to add a couple of clever moves to the plot. Thus, Maddy doesn't notice how someone is killed near her, and the maniac manages to get to her unnoticed, even breaking through obstacles like a bear through a thicket. While the blind characters, for example, scriptwriters like to “give” phenomenal hearing (they turn off the lights, and the hunter and the victim immediately change places), and deafness, no matter how you look at it, can not give any significant advantage.

Inspired by vintage jallos, “Hush” is a movie quite brutal and tough. Flanagan does not savor the violence, but shows it as realistically as possible - to the final characters crawl not only exhausted morally, but also tormented physically. Although the main stake he still makes on the psychological horror of the situation - the killer makes it clear from the start that it will not be possible to negotiate with him, that there is nowhere to wait for help and that death will not be easy. Yes, Maddie's house is perfectly protected from intrusion (even the glass in the windows can't be broken so easily), but the authors constantly “tweak” the situation in such a way that it won't be possible to sit out the attack.

Strongly beaten script, confident directing by Flanagan (he understands the genre perfectly and knows what works in it and what doesn't), good actors, atmospheric soundtrack, as well as naturalistic but competently dosed violence don't let you get bored - especially since “Hush” lasts only 80 minutes with credits. Although, for all its sharpness, the movie still does not stretch to a revelation - the subject is too familiar, the laws by which such pictures live and breathe are too obvious.
