It was given a very limited cinema release earlier this year and me and my girlfriend were lucky enough to get to see it. br / br /There have been some great british horror films recently such as eden lake and the children but for my money this is the best one yet. The story follows a young couple who are traveling down a busy rain swept motorway stopping at service stations to change the posters on display. The couple are not getting along and its clear their relationship is almost over. They are stuck in a traffic jam and to their horror the back door of the lorry in front of them flips open briefly to reveal a semi naked girl chained and screaming for help. br / br /The lad phones the police who dont seem that bothered and the lorry drives away. The girlfriend is furious with her boyfriends reluctance to get involved and at the next service station tells him she is leaving him. He then notices the same lorry parked in the car park and no sign of his girlfriend only her dropped necklace on the floor. br / br /A life and death chase now begins as the young man tries to find his missing girlfriend and outwit the cloaked and hooded figure who is driving the lorry. br / br /This film is packed with suspenseful moments and i was literally clinging to the edge of my seat at some points particularly the scene where our hero is stalked through a maze of lorry containers by the films never named or fully glimsed villain. Having our villain silent is also a brilliant concept reminicent of michael myers in the original halloween. br / br /I really recommed all fans of the horror genre check out this little gem of a film and those who missed its cinema run should really get the dvd. Its frightening and suspenseful. Watch it! Hush is a Fantastic Horror Thriller! July 25, 2009 George Kerr (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful First off don't listen to the two star review, as it's completely wrong. It's not predictable, it's unpredictable(although there is one part that horror fans like myself will be able to guess, but does not spoil the movie) It's entirely beliveable with the acting to a standard of perfection. The acting is made to be different from other british horror's. It is scary and will creep most people out. I am a massive horror fan and have seen loads of horror movies and i can honestly say this is one of the best. Combines horror with nail biting edge of your seat tension and ticks all the right boxes for a great horror and great entertainment. This is not only for horror fans, but for anyone with a passion for great movies. Fans will enjoy this if you enjoyed Descent and Eden Lake. Night Drive/ Melted Revels September 6, 2009 Alex DeLarge (Dublin, Ireland) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful Where to start with this film? At the beginning. br / br /A couple in a car in the dark on the M1 in the rain. Tension, incipient domestic. br / br /Sets up a wrongness vibe not seen in UK filmed entertainment since Hammer House of Horror's "The House That Bled To Death". br / br /Visuals - exemplary. This is not a high-budget work: maybe an advantage. The dynamism and variety of the visual direction is a constant surprise. Especially given the whole thing is filmed after dark. More than once during this film you just think "Andrei Tarkovsky". That's not an exaggeration. br / br /Plot - starts off very well, think Kafka meets The Granton Star Cause meets a random motorway service station at night in the rain. Ends up slightly more genre-cast, but with more than enough intrigue to see it through. br / br /Cast - actors in horror/ suspense films are a dartboard. It's not their fault if the darts don't always hit the board. No treble twenties here, sorry. br / br /I'd class this as a development in British cinema. If this doesn't open a door in UK film, we may as well pack up and go home (but not in a white van). br / br / More like a big cheer September 24, 2009 Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett (Dracula's Crypt) A couple are making their way down the M1, but to say their relationship was fractuous would be an understatement. Zakes(William Ash) and Beth(Christine Bottomley)are barely speaking to eachother and when they do every comment is laced with barbed wire. Then a truck pulls out in front of them, and Zakes glimpses what he thinks is a woman in a cage in the back as it passes. He reports it to the police, but is reluctant to follow the truck further, much to the chagrin of Beth. When they stop at the next Service Station, Beth tells Zakes that their relationship is over, but then Beth dissapears and Zakes is drawn into a night of terror, from which there seems no escape. br /So, why is this British horror so damn good? Well theres the believable characters and dialogue for a start. Also, the way that director Tonderai squeezes every last drop of tension from even the most mundane of situations. Then theres the superb camera work, and the two excellent performances from the two leads. br /With British horror in such capable hands , theres good reason to expect a rosy future for both the industry and for Tonderai, as its hard to believe that this was his directorial debut, as the film is so accomplished. An excellent, suspenseful little horror/thriller. 5 out of 5 Not normally a fan of this Genre... August 24, 2009 M. J. Walker (London, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I don't usually go for this sort of film, but hear director Mark Tonderai being interviewed on Radio 5 Live and thought I'd support his efforts by buying it. br / br /After convincing my wife that it would be worth a watch, I have to say that we both enjoyed it. It's an intelligent film and doesn't play to the sterotypes often found in this genre. Worth watching the interviews at the end as this helps answer some of the questions and puts some of these scenes into perspective. Showing reviews 1-5 of 10 1 2 Next »
