With a little more plausibility, Hush could have been a thriller worthy of Hitchcock rather than just another potboiler.

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

I won't even go into the film's leaden ending here; suffice to say it's not nearly as interesting as what has come before, which wasn't very interesting to begin with.

It's heavy-handed, witless, and, when Lange's fate is considered, rather sad.

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.

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.

Top CriticHush is the kind of movie where you walk in, watch the first 10 minutes, know exactly where it's going, and hope devoutly that you're wrong.

Top CriticA mystery without surprises, a thriller without thrills. It's too bad, really, because the movie has a few strong points.

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

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

How awful can a movie be? This awful.

Only the delightful acting by Gwyneth Paltrow, as the daughter-in-law, breathes any life into it.
01/01/00
A lot of talent wasted in a forgettable potboiler
12/05/03
Absolutely awful.
