Review of Hush

Hush (V) (2008)
Cliché-ridden trash
18 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I give this movie a 4 is that it's not out-and-out boring. That's about all the good I can say about it.

I found it difficult to understand the actors at times, with that awful accent. Good thing I had subtitles.

The film is full of clichés. Miles of them. The antagonist is a big, silent, well-muscled and scary guy. He likes wearing hoods--all the time. Talking, not so much. And he walks verrrrrrrrry slowly, even when following someone. Go figure. Cars will be disabled at the worst possible time. The protagonist makes one annoying and stupid decision after another.

The plot is a joke. There are more loopholes and loose ends than I care to recollect. What was the involvement of the security guard? Why was that one girl helping the psycho? Why are the girls being abducted in the first place? What's going on here? At the end, we never find out. There's no sense of closure or completion, no rhyme or reason. Just a dead hood-wearing scary guy.

And that's why this movie sucks.
