      • May 25, 2014

        Probably the film that made me start to hate Gwyneth Paltrow, she is just a terrible actress. Hush is a low budget psycho-biddy about a control freak mother trying to kill her daughter in law. Completely ridiculous and wholly predictable as the consensus described. I basically cringed when I watched as a child, I didn't know much about cinema back then but I cringed cuz of how bad it was. The ending was probably the worst part of all. Hush should be hushed from the entire history of the world.

        Engaging in the most minimal way and ending on the most ludicrous note, Hush is one film that both the actors and the audiences are more than willing to forget.

        I thought this movie was great. Helen goes with her husband to visit her mother in law who she hasn't met before. When they reveal to the mother-in-law that they're pregnant she shows a very unfriendly side only to Helen. Jessica Lange does an awesome job playing the psychotic mother-in-law.

        A brainless film to say the least.Lange cannot save this superficial "family drama" and as the events proceed on a thriller jurisdiction,the prosecutor of the critics cries out loud "Enough of your liturgies and vengeful plots!Please,stop recycling movies!".
