This film reminds me of the road horror films which had a great boom in the 90's. We have a ton of films like this, so nothing is amusing in it. Everything goes as we expect, even the struggles are as per the criteria. Anyway, it won't bite. You can give it a try, if you still love to watch another road horror.

In 1971, Stephen Spielberg made his directorial debut with "Duel". All other trucker movies need not apply. The dialogue delivery is torture. The acting non existent. It's pitiful in the extreme.

Was looking for Hush 2016 instead found this one. I was not disappointed. If you like films where the protagonist don't solve one problem when another arises then this is for you.

A so-so kidnap horror. Nothing new to see with a few too many familiar tropes and it getting a bit too silly in the second half.

Second rate reinvention of Duel with a little Wolf Creek thrown in. Just about gets three stars for a bit of suspense and dark entertainment, but it is a little flat and pointless.

This film sucks plain and simple. The first 20 mins look like the beginning of a decent film, then it just descends into absolute tosh!. The camera work is awful, the acting was abysmal (especially Ash). Rubbish, rushed ending, unbelievable baddy who only ever walks (like that's not been run into the ground). Twists that are so hacked together they're no longer twists as you see them coming from space. I am disappointed in Warp for releasing a film this bad, as they've always been quite original and innovative, but this is a mixture of Duel, hostel, and any nondescript Freddie vs Jason type franchise. Avoid if you possess brain cells

There's a nice twist or two in Hush and it's reasonably well-made but it feels like a TV movie or, worse, an extended TV episode of an anthology series.

Times (UK)

The label slapped on the side of Mark Tonderai's low-budget horror movie has absolutely no bearing on the silly contents.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

Mark Tonderai's debut makes for a smart calling card but relies on one tension-destroying clich too many and offers too few thrills to satisfy the hardened horror buff.

Rated: 3/6

Hush becomes a tight little thriller that waves the flag for British horror.

Hush proves you don't need a Jason, Freddy or Michael to create a nasty little horror showcase.
