  [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] It would be impossible not to notice that Hush is a fairly generic horror movie, with a lot of moments that make you think of other exploitation movies. Despite all that it's a very impressive film that quite effortlessly gives you a wince inducing rush of adrenalin with the beautiful sense of realism that too many horror movies dont have. It's nothing other than a very well put together debut horror feature for Mark Tonderai who i'm sure will go on to make some more great thrillers like these if he isn't crushed underneath a big budget and a well-known Hollywood A-list star (House At The End Of The Street, let's see how that turns out). It's benefits include a unique visual style, naturalistic and believable performances from it's talented cast and consistent, nail-biting suspense. A lot of debut horror features such as Christopher Smith's Creep and James Watkin's Eden Lake have none of these traits and they never really bloomed until much later on in the career's of these film maker's, and it was a genuinely pleasant surprise to see such a fantastically well-written and spine-tingling debut for once. I found it incredibly gripping, more than adequately put together, and thought it offered up a great number of scares and thrills. Looking at it as a straight-forward cat and mouse horror movie, I enjoyed it for what it was. And although originality isn't the film's strongest point it offers up plenty of tension, an oddly creepy atmosphere and incredible horror direction. It's a very stylish, deeply satisfying and wonderfully inventive little horror film, and such an accomplishment it's hard to comprehend it as a debut.

  Tense and suspenseful British thriller set along the busy M1 road where a woman has been kidnapped by a brutal trucker leaving the boyfriend in pursuit to free her. Yeah it's a little similar to 'Breakdown' from '97 but it manages to hold its own agaimst other films of its type and it makes for a good ride!

  A great little English thriller on a low budget. I thought this would be an average at best straight to DVD offering, but was pleasantly surprised by it. I think the grim, everyday low budget feel to it added a touch of realism to it. The tension is kept high throughout the film and without it becoming too unrealistic. Yes it's a bit like Roadkill, but also another little known film called Shuttle. A very entertaining thriller!

  A good British Trhiller, which has it's tense moments, enjoyable acting from the two main charactors and that in itself is what sets it apart from being a Slasher movie. For me the ending let the film down a tad and was a bit of an anti-climax, given the build up of the chase,… More
  A good British Trhiller, which has it's tense moments, enjoyable acting from the two main charactors and that in itself is what sets it apart from being a Slasher movie. For me the ending let the film down a tad and was a bit of an anti-climax, given the build up of the chase, but still a likeable and watchable film.

  Not to sure why they called this a british horror but i would call it an intense thriller that is ok apart from its many flaws! The storyline is ok if you think Taken with liam neeeson this is like that but so upto scratch with the holywood movie, the story has a few flaws and is a bit predictable in places but did keep you on the edge of your seat! The ending was unsatifing with a lot of unanswwered stories, if they werent going t continue the story they started then why put it in there! overall an alrigth movie with a watch i guess!

  Derivative of <i>Duel</i>, <i>The Hitcher</i> and the Stephen King story <i>Rest Stop</i>, <i>Hush</i> nevertheless is filmed with enough nervy energy and interesting wrinkles to make it worth a watch. Will Ash accepted, the performances are dire, and some of the hand-held camera work sometimes comes off as annoying, but the lack of sensationalism is refreshing (in other hands at least a couple of the sequences could have been horribly gratuitous) and the 'mute' sequence is astonishingly effective. Wrapped up in under 90 minutes on a low budget, this lottery funded film will surely work as a demo for the talent behind the camera even if it is not remembered in the years to come.

  Simple plot, good concept and well created atmosphere and suspense BUT the ending seemed to me rushed and I think the could stretch it a little more for more details and gore scenes however it is a pretty decent thriller movie in the veins of "Duel", "Breakdown", "JoyRide" and why not? "Highwaymen".

  The description of this movie was more exciting than the movie itself. There were very few (somewhat) suspenseful parts.

  I was torn with this one. It has the feel of a movie which I am sad to say would have worked so much better if it was set in America. The fact its in Britiain just seemed to take the edge off for some reason and I cant quite explain fully why. Overall this was an enjoyable film. It… More
  I was torn with this one. It has the feel of a movie which I am sad to say would have worked so much better if it was set in America. The fact its in Britiain just seemed to take the edge off for some reason and I cant quite explain fully why. Overall this was an enjoyable film. It will never set the world alight and there were too many silly unrealistic decisions taken by the protagonists. When have British cops ever used plasticuffs for gods sake and they could have got the caution right. Little thin gs just ruined this one for me im afraid.

  What this British horror does have going for it is a nice plot that constantly changes direction. Character work is alright too. Where it fails is in its overuse of deus ex machina (killer's about to find bloke...oh, some cops come along. Lucky. Killer's about to find bloke...oh, he's distracted again. Lucky), and in having a killer who just walks everywhere - albeit menacingly - when he really should run after the lead character to stop him getting away. He also spends waaaay too long in the shower giving the lead plenty of time to get the keys and...well, if you do watch it I'm not going to ruin it. It reminded me a lot of Breakdown with Kurt Russell - which is slightly better.

  A very tense British thriller.
