Admirable film.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Hush is a classic Horror/Thriller, which means a Thriller with some unnerving and sometimes frightening motives. However, it's really not the best that British cinema has to offer.Reading the synopsis, I thought to myself "oh great, another Joyride/Hitchhiker rip-off", and I must admit I was wrong. While repeating the story of a mad truck driver and a couple on the road, Hush is different and somewhat unique in its own way. It might be the mystery shroud surrounding the trucker, who never says a word (unlike world famous Rusty Nail whose voice is legend amongst us Horror freaks). It might be the relationship between the protagonist and his girlfriend and the way it unravels throughout the film. It might be the sadly unsuccessful twist attempted by the screenwriter. It might be all of these together.The main problem with Hush, except the fact that the twist was painfully obvious and felt like a huge waste of time, was the final editing. It felt like one hour of story/footage had been violently pushed into 30 minutes of film. Too many things, allegedly and obviously important, overlooked, too many questions left unanswered, and too many answers where no questions were. Pity.All in all, Hush is enjoyable enough, and you could do a lot worst. Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing worth recommending or trashing.

An arguing couple are driving along a British motorway in the middle of the night when the back door of a lorry driving in front of them momentarily opens – revealing a young woman, naked and trapped in a cage inside. Soon enough the couple find themselves thrown into the middle of a nightmare as they follow the lorry and try to find out what's going on.So far so good – this premise is serviceable if familiar, another in the sub-genre of 'road thrillers' following in the footsteps of Spielberg's DUEL, ROAD KILL and BREAKDOWN. The low budget and regional nature of the production promised to give this a decidedly British spin on proceedings, so I sat down ready to enjoy the movie. Unfortunately, as the story progresses, it falls apart completely, with plot hole after plot hole and silly coincidence after silly coincidence, until the film loses all grasp of reality and ends up as nothing more than a Hollywood-style B-movie.HUSH has more ridiculous moments than most and these drag the plot down, leaving the viewer with too many unanswered questions. It feels like there were problems with production and bad editing is used to try and cover up these flaws – but it doesn't work. Neither does the casting of the wooden William Ash as the unsympathetic hero. Ash, a familiar face for British TV viewers thanks to his role in WATERLOO ROAD, has a single expression throughout the movie and is the second worst thing about the film – next to the script. I profess a certain enjoyment in watching him tortured in silly SAW-style scene, though.In any case, the film runs out of steam long before the climax and I ended up wishing for it to end. Not one to remember.

I find it amazing how people get very critical about films which in some cases weren't advertised as big block busters. OK this isn't going to win any Oscars but hey its wasn't as bad as some people think. I do find these films frustrating sometimes when you dissect them and say well i wouldn't have done that but hey if that is the case then tell all those idiots who still swam with Jaws and still go to holiday camps. It had suspense and some good moments, i thought it was better than i was lead to believe and wouldn't recommend it but if you do hire it then you wont be too disappointed and just enjoy it for what it is a low budget film with some good moments.

Motorways can be a eerie and lonely place to be when driving late one night. So the concept of the film , that being a trucker kidnapping women on motorways, was a good place to set an horror film. You got the dry deserts of Texas for TCM, and the dry deserts of Australia for wolf creek and now you got the empty motorways and services stops of Britain.The first half an hour of the film I rather enjoyed, the atmosphere was well created . The acting from William ash wasn't all to great, either was the dialogue seeing that the first half an hour mainly consists of an Eastenders type argument. Most horrors today can put me to sleep but Hush managed to keep me awake, this is probably because of the location they used , one that I am so used to . But the problem was that it didn't leave me with a satisfying feeling when it finished. What I watched was a bloke going out on a rescue mission for an hour. There were many unanswered questions such as , what was the killer doing with the girls?, why he captured them? Who the bloke at the store? If we knew why, then there would be more depth in the film, giving you more a disturbing creation. Also there were to many clichés . I know the horror genre is the hardest to reinvent, but can the director and writers please try and come up with new ideas . Also , what was up with the shaking effect when having a conversation at a table. It was very distracting but as soon as they get up and walk, the camera is locked, no movement whatsoever. There probably a meaning behind this ( I hope ) The plot was simple , not that this is bad as films such as Halloween have simple plots. But unlike Halloween , it failed to capture you into the situation of what the character was facing. Overall it was blunt and poorly delivered. Not one I'll watch again or even bring up in a conversation
