Hush is a pulverizing little exercise in extreme suspense. I'm not talking about this year's Hush, a sleek little home invasion shocker that's worth your time too. No, this Hush is a little seen British flick from back in 2008, and it's a proper nerve jangler. In the tradition of Duel, The Hitcher, Joyride and others, it takes place on a bustling motorway somewhere in great Britain. A young couple trundle through the night on a highway, and find themselves behind a great big creepy semi truck. In one split second, the doors of it's trailer come unstuck and open just a crack, allowing the to see what's inside. It's only a glimpse, but it's unmistakable: a girl, badly hurt and tied up, screams for help before the motion of the vehicle causes the doors to slam shut again. What would you do? This couple bravely pursues the truck and it's villainous driver across many miles of road, trying to rescue the girl inside, avoid getting killed themselves and put an end to whatever is going on. It's one merciless ride into gut churning suspense, and I marvelled at the film's ability to keep such high tension up for a streamlined ninety minutes of pure horror nirvana. It's not too lengthy, never sags or drags and always keeps the vibe as taut as the ominous chain holding those truck doors in place. Swift and sensible in resolution, stylish as all hell and scary in spades. Any horror fan owes it to themselves to take a look.

This is pretty solid movie, the way that modern horror should look like. Yes, it is a low budget film but followed by very good acting and involving plot of the high pace and tense rhythm. OK, the movie exploits some film work that we have already seen but performs it pretty successfully. The movie has several flows and some details that are not developed carefully enough, but all in all it is a chilly wind that kept me entertained all the time. Must say I did not like the beginning of the movie as it has some screamy dialogs that somehow over-strength the justified screaming in the other part of the movie. I recommend Hush to all horror and thriller lovers giving it higher rate than deserved just because I believe it is underrated.

I watched this not expecting much, and yeah some of the acting was a bit dubious but overall I was very impressed. When I started watching it I sat there with my finger on the stop button, but that button was never pressed as I was truly hooked. I really felt for the lead character and thought he played the part well. I was also surprised by a few twists here and there which would give Hollywood a run for its money.For a movie that was obviously on a budget (made with help from the lottery) I think it can stand proud with the multi-million pound big boys from the USA.A good thriller worth watching

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
