Hush





Ever wanted to know what could make the premise of a home invasion film creepier?  Make the homeowner a deaf girl.  Living the solitary life as a writer in the middle of the woods, during the course of one night Maddie receives a visit from a mysterious man wanting to kill her. What makes this movie so interesting is it’s (mostly) told from the perspective of a person who can’t hear.  This means there isn’t any creepy music building up the movie’s tension, or a lot of long conversations between characters except through ASL.   Because the main character was deaf, I found myself constantly at the edge of my couch.  Because unlike the other home invasion movies, such as Strangers, I was not able to hear if someone is knocking on the door, or coming around a corner.


Something else I like about the movie was how simple it was.  Unlike other home invasion films such as Strangers or The Purge, the storyline in Hush was simply about one psycho trying to kill one girl in the house at night.  There were no back stories such as a blind-date gone wrong between the killer and Maddie, nor was there a twist that showed Maddie was related to or had a relationship with the killer at one point.  You never really find out what the motives are between the characters, only that one of them is trying to kill the other.

  4. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
