An absurdly bad mixture of Rosemary's Baby and any Bette Davis movie from the 1960s

It is to scary movies what Sesame Street's 'the Count' is to vampires.

Just try and take your eyes away from the screen when Lange is on.

This film is so bad, even good actors can't save it.

Hush has three very simple problems: it's incredibly dumb, it's incredibly boring, and it's incredibly predictable (at least up to the stupefying ending).

Cast opposite Oscar-winner Jessica Lange, Paltrow makes abundantly clear her ability to compete with one of the best actresses in the business.

Jessica Lange establishes a spark of interest in this psychological thriller with her giggly demonic performance. But the film never adds up to anything more than an elaborate tease.

Only Nina Foch, as the wheelchair bound granny hidden away among nuns, shows any flair for taking this into the campy domain in which it might have flourished.
