Answer 1

Hush is a movie in which a deaf and mute fights for survival when a masked man terrorises her inside an isolated woodland home. Being deaf and mute doesn't prevent Maddie, the protagonist, from enjoying some celebrity as a novelist , though her social life certainly hasn't seen as much success. The protagonist has settled for the solitude of an isolated house surrounded by the trees where the only disturbance comes from a motherly inner voice lashing Maddie to pound out more pages on the computer.

That night, writer's block worries and ex-boyfriend woes are the least of her troubles. Because a crossbow wielding masked man has made Maddie his target for one-on-one game of predator versus prey, for no better reason than because he can. With no voice to scream and no one nearby to hear if she did, Maddie was on her own with the madman. Maintaing her wits and summoning strength to match the murderers requires all the courage and cunning she can manage. Maddie's mental arsenal might be exactly the weaponary required to turn the tables on this deadly killer. Hush , as a movie aiming for subtle psychological appeal as much as it does for visceral.

It is a Stephen King style story about looking out your window and suddenly seeing someone staring back at you. A concept of fear dominant anxiety coupled with Maddie's deafness inherently makes it so empty jolts are not the sole source of fright.

The protagonist and antagonist are so evenly matched in commitment to toppling one another that their conflict isn't so much cat-and-mouse as it is cat-and-cat. It doesn't take long for Maddie to prove herself as a capable heroine ,though the fact does not detract from the ongoing dread or constant threat to her life.

With a runtime just under 80 minutes "Hush" isn't big on bells and whistles complexities in its plotting or production. It doesn't need to be. Once you move past a deaf mute living alone on the woods being a suspiciously convenient conceit for a "helpless against an attacker" scenario,the movie unleashes intensity both loud and quiet with exhilarating efficiency as a smart, stripped down thriller.
