A-
An intelligent thriller that finds almost constant ways to introduce blood-curdling tension. Go to Full Review

Once the premise kicks into high gear, Hush reveals itself as a finely craved one-trick pony. Go to Full Review
A.A. Dowd AV Club Dec 1, 2016
An effectively straightforward exercise in suspense, one that further positions Flanagan-who also made the year's well-received Ouija prequel-as a filmmaker with a strong grasp on horror's fundamentals. Go to Full Review

6/10
It’s a typical home invasion movie and the twist of having a deaf protagonist is inventive and works well. Go to Full Review
Preston Barta Denton Record-Chronicle Jan 23, 2025
In the realm of suspense, 'Hush' stands out as a tightly wound thriller, driven by Kate Siegel’s performance and Mike Flanagan’s direction, which never misses a beat. Go to Full Review
Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Jan 16, 2025
4/5
With time and texture, it’s clear that star / co-writer Kate Siegel and director / co-writer Mike Flanagan are emitting a primal scream about power dynamics. "Hush" feels like a social howl shrewdly smuggled into the guise of genre entertainment. Go to Full Review

Keith S @RT41469266 1 day ago Mostly well done except the movie does not develop the characters enough. See more Alex B @AlexBioni 2 days ago Can't Hear You Coming This is such an original slasher idea. It could've been another film like The Strangers, but Maddie being deaf adds suspense because the intruder can be right behind her without her hearing him. I'm a massive Mike Flanagan fan, and I love that Maddie's book is Midnight Mass, which he later adapted for Netflix. The film captures helplessness and isolation perfectly. I love the remote forest setting and the unique situations, from the intruder sending pictures to the bathroom scenes. His mask looks great, and he's brutal. One early kill is chilling because he keeps stabbing after the deed is done. Kate Siegel portrays Maddie's deafness exceptionally well. I love to hate the arrogant intruder and want him to lose. I also love Maddie troubleshooting and figuring out how to survive near the end. Some dialogue involving her sister feels wonky, but the film wastes no time and has great pacing. See more MercersLaw T @RT56563753 5 days ago Pretty stupid, a deaf woman lives alone in the middle of nowhere, her neighbour gets murdered by a random guy and he starts targeting her. Some major plot holes like the neighbours husband who knows she is deaf goes round and knocks on the door shouting...no reason given to why the murderer is there or why he is doing it and seems to ignore the pain from injuries too...shite See more mylo G @mmbug Oct 22, 2026 spoilers warning i thought this movie was great, i was never bored and theres not much down time which is great! i’m honestly just upset with a couple of things! 1. I hate how there was no motive behind the killer. it would have been so cool if we had an insane motive that tied in the ex bf later in the story, like a plot twist. 2. so upsetting that we don’t get to see what happens afterwards when the cops get there. i would love to have seen that! 3. man when she dodged him in the bathroom - that was stupid. love that he wasn’t able to get her but he has shown throughout the whole movie how good he is with fast reflexes… other than when he was on the roof lol i absolutely recommend this movie and i really did love it See more Jennifer E @RT51924423 Oct 18, 2026 WONDERFUL SCARY FILM See more Paulina P @RT87441369 Oct 16, 2026 One of my favorite thrillers. Always recommending it. See more Read all reviews
