MOVIE REVIEW: HUSH (2016)

MOVIE REVIEW:

HUSH IS NOTHING TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT!
A friend recently suggested that I see the movie "Hush (2016). I am elated at how great this movie is. There are many movies out there called "Hush" so make sure that you are watching the new one from 2016 (cover art attached).
There has been many movies about deaf and blind people being stalked by psychotic maniacs like "See No Evil aka Blind Terror (1971)", "Eyes of A Stranger (1981)", "Blind Fear (1989)" In the Dark (TV Movie 2013)" " Jennifer 8" "Blindsided" and of course, the classic "Wait Until Dark (1967) " starring Audrey Hepburn.
The fact that Maddie in "Hush" can't hear or scream, just amps up the terror and the intensity level.
The premise is simple, a masked psychotic killer, "seemingly randomly" shows up on Maddie's doorstep. When he sees that she is deaf, a deadly game of cat and muse ensues. Maddie's not about to die a grisly death without a fight. She proves that even though she lives with a disability,due to a tragic childhood accident she does not let that stop her from living her life as a strong independent woman and writer. My only complaint is that the killer is unmasked far to early in the movie, so we can see his face. At this point he becomes more human and not as disturbing as he would have been as an anonymous masked assailant, as say movies like "The Strangers" or "Kristy".
If you liked "Hush" then you will love "Kristy".
