Hush
A deaf woman is stalked by a psychotic killer in her secluded home.
What critics thought
Critics largely embraced this Blumhouse home-invasion thriller as a lean, genuinely scary genre exercise, with most praise landing on its ingenious premise and sustained tension — though the third act drew some reservations, and the gap between critic enthusiasm and audience ratings suggests it plays better as a craft exercise than as a crowd-pleaser. Deaf viewers, notably, found its portrayal of deaf culture unconvincing.
“one of the more inspired concoctions to emerge from the busy Blumhouse horror-thriller assembly line in recent years”
Geoff Burkshire·Variety
“a good old-fashioned truly scary movie”
Michael Gingold·Fangoria
“a modern slasher movie classic that's not to be missed”
