Despite, or maybe because of, its mundane setting this bleak and disturbing thriller succeeds in ratcheting up the tension.

Reviews for Hush
1 - 8 (sorted by rotten rating)
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
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
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
Hush proves you don't need a Jason, Freddy or Michael to create a nasty little horror showcase.
05/19/09
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.
05/18/09
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
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.
