Hush looks like one of the worst ideas for a film ever. It may as well have a voiceover shouting: “She’s deaf! He’s deadly! Will she survive?!?”
Yes, Maddie (Kate Siegel) is deaf and can’t hear but somehow is drawn to the fact that’s a complete raving nutjob outside her house with a Halloween-style mask on, and only known as ‘Man’ (John Gallagher Jr) and he wants to get inside her house and kill her. Why? Who knows. We’re not being told in this trailer.
Also getting caught up in this mess are Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan, Emilia Graves, and director Mike Flanagan, who brought us the engaging Oculus, which also starred Ms Siegel, and they both co-wrote the script for this new film, but they really should not have bothered.
Hush tells us ‘Silence is a killer’. But there’s no UK or US release date, and we don’t want one, so SSSSSHHH! Don’t draw their attention to it so they quickly forget about that!
