Hush never breaks new narrative ground, but Tonderai understands the ins and outs of the films he's aping and revels in giving us what we expect.

The label slapped on the side of Mark Tonderai’s low-budget horror movie has absolutely no bearing on the silly contents.
03/13/09
Mark Tonderai’s debut makes for a smart calling card but relies on one tension-destroying cliché too many and offers too few thrills to satisfy the hardened horror buff.
03/13/09
Tonderai makes good use of soulless motorway catering venues - all white strip lighting and hunched zombie drivers - but overkills his tale with a succession of improbabilities.
03/12/09
There's a nice twist or two in Hush and it's reasonably well-made but it feels like a TV movie or, worse, an extended TV episode of an anthology series.
06/12/09
Hush proves you don't need a Jason, Freddy or Michael to create a nasty little horror showcase.
05/19/09
For all of the convention and familiarity that Hush exhibits in the early going, it does a fine job of throwing a few wrenches into a generally predictable premise.
04/23/09
Despite, or maybe because of, its mundane setting this bleak and disturbing thriller succeeds in ratcheting up the tension.
