Day 8 of Horror Movie Month: Hush (2016)


This was a really interesting home invasion thriller about a deaf writer being terrorized by a killer outside her home, and finding ways of survival while not being able to hear or use her voice for help. It was creative and suspenseful, in that she is able to use her disability as an advantage, plus her own ingenuity, and both she and the killer equally get roughed up and go through a lot of pain and struggle, which made it feel a lot less one-sided. This film deserved a lot more attention as a standout thriller in recent years, and was directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Gerald's Game, The Haunting of Hill House).
