Hush is a 1998 film starring Gwyneth Paltrow as a young newlywed woman named Helen who is happily married to a good looking guy called Jackson.But when she and Jackson move from their apartment in New York to stay with Jackson's mother Martha(Jessica Lange from The Vow)as Helen is expecting her and Jackson's first child together,things take a sour turn as Jackson's mother is a very crazy woman who killed her husband and lost her unborn child many years ago and blames her son (brainwashing him saying that he pushed him down the stairs as she heard that he was having an affair with another woman or was he?) and she would do all in her power to prevent her son from leaving her again and would even go to great lengths to take Helen's baby even if she has to try and deliver it earlier than planned. So will Helen escape Jackson's crazy mother once and for all and learn more secrets about Martha's past, and convince Jackson that his mother is crazy and delusional?

Bottom line this happened to be on cable a few days ago and I have seen it before. To be honest I thought it was a pretty solid flick. It had me on the edge of my seat and I though Paltrow was very good in this movie. But the real star is Jessica Lange who plays the crazy delusional mother to Jackson as she does crazy things like using a thing for horses so that Helen could have her child early and deliver it at home herself(Martha)and later at the very end of the movie she even tries to kill Helen by giving her morphine.

Like I said give this movie a chance and ignore the critics. This is the kind of film you would have in your films I like that no one else like's list.

C+ 6/10
