[tabby title="Hush"]

When you first look at Hush, you 're going to think that it 's just another home invasion movie in a sea of home invasion movies. However, you would be wrong to think that. Hush actually provides something incredibly unique and interesting in the idea of having our main character (Kate Siegel) of the film being deaf and mute. As the killer stalks her from outside her house, she has to rely on her other senses to track and figure out what to do next. It 's really damn intense as times. John Gallagher Jr., who plays the killer also does an incredible job at being pure, unadulterated evil. He has no remorse and no conscience. I 'm going to be doing something different with this review in that I 'm offering two different reviews, one a spoiler free version and another that will be filled with spoilers, discussing what I liked and didn 't like about the movie. What ever your flavour of review you want, I 'll have. So, let 's get this review going...

It comes up suddenly and the viewer hardly has time to prepare for it. (Although, I would like to know why she couldn 't try breaking the glass to get her attention?)

He first steals her phone, taking photos of her from outside the house. This sets off Maddie to something terribly wrong happening. Maddie finally sees the killer, donned with a white mask which is tragically removed too quickly in the flick. The killer lets her know she is going to die, but not before her taunts her

There isn't as much soundtrack music compared to other thrillers so the film relied more heavily on the sounds that seem to come from both inside and outside of the shelter. Michelle often uses sounds to convey where she is and deduct whether or not it truly is safe to go outside. The sounds of the film are heightened in order to give to film a more unsettling and tense feeling. Invisible sounds help to create these feelings such as the creaking of the stairs, opening and closing of locks, moaning pipes, and when Michelle believes that she has heard a car above her room. The sounds are used to tell the inner story and convey Michelle’s emotions as she struggles to deal with her current situation.

They went down into the room and found all four walls covered in video tapes both recorded and blank, a TV set with a VCR in the center of one wall with a chair in front of it and a bed and camera-recorder in the center of the room. They put in a tape that was closest to the tv and found Kisa and her mother being abused and on a tape near the middle was his first wife and daughter being abused. At the bottom of each film was a date and time and once the forensic team went through all the tapes they found that the footage went back about thirty years to his teenage years and included footage of his first wife's and daughter's murder. Some of the footage also included random women from whom the police had received reports from as far back as thirty years about being kidnapped and beaten while blindfolded and then dumped into a park or ditch after being nearly beaten to death.

One of the main characters, James played by William hurt looks at Sarah as a kind of project that he can fix. Little does he know Sarah doesn’t want to be fixed and that brings up a lot of issues regarding the use of her speech. The theme in this movie shows that Deaf people are smart and capable of doing anything and they don’t need speech to accomplish their goals (Sugarman & Haines, 1986). There are a lot of misconceptions that Deaf are not intelligent because they can’t speak or choose not to. I think this often why Deaf people choose not to speak because they think that other people will judge them.
