Maddie then proceeds to Facetime a close friend as the man watches her. Maddie continues the arduous task ahead of her in blissful ignorance while Sarah is shot, and eventually stabbed, to death, while the man watches Maddie and comes to realise her disability. As she’s at it, Sarah reappears on the other side of the door, swiftly followed by a masked man armed with a crossbow and a knife. Some time after she’s left, Maddie starts cleaning up. The pair converse a little more, and Sarah leaves after asking Maddie over that they can order in when her boyfriend comes over. I can only put that down to good writing. A thing I’m quite proud of is that I picked up on all the right ones.
#Watch hush 2016 movie
Here’s where the movie starts dropping its Chekov’s guns. I don’t know how long the lamb was in the oven or if she left the pans on the hob, but this thing went charcoal pretty quick from when I last saw it. The conversation is broken up by the fire alarm, which Sarah points out to Maddie. Maddie is revealed to have almost (to me, at least) superhuman levels of lip-reading skills. One of her neighbours: Sarah, walks over, and the pair strike up a conversation. The sharp sounds of the knife, the crackle of the asparagus on the pan, all the sounds of cooking lead into the reveal of Maddie’s condition (brought on by meningitis when she was thirteen years old). Now, who doesn’t enjoy watching people cook? She chops up onions, crushes garlic, trims asparagus… all the good stuff, reading instructions off the back of the box the lamb came in while the lamb works in the oven.
The movie begins with something innocent enough: with our protagonist Maddie working away on a rack of lamb. In other words: she is almost gift-wrapped for any psychotic killers out there. She is alone in the woods working away on her next novel, and is occasionally visited by her neighbours (who are within walking distance, but nowhere really close). Hush hits all the right spots almost immediately.
WARNING: THIS SECTION CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS So, disappointment somewhat expected, what did I think of this movie? For the most part, they’re not even meant to be critically successful. I can’t honestly name any good slasher movies, now that I think about it.
When it comes to horror, something I always say is: “horror is hard“.
