Straight to Netflix is the new "straight to video" - however, since the TV shows Netflix puts on are pretty good it doesn't always mean a direct drop in quality.
Hush is one of those films that has just about enough in it to be interesting. The home invasion concept is something that we've seen a lot of and the premise is a good solid base to work on.
Maddie is an author that lives in relative isolation - she lost her hearing in her youth and has been totally deaf since then. One evening her friendly neighbour comes to visit and is promply hacked to bits by a masked psycho on her way home.
The home invasion then starts with our masked man realising that he's picked on a deaf victim so is able to perform some creepy stuff such as taking her phone and sending photos from it to her home computer. Also he can sneak around. This potential for suspense however is quickly dispersed when our invader reveals himself.
What then follows is your bog-standard cat and mouse routine with not a lot of excitement or unexpected happenings.
There's another death but that's it and it all comes to a rather dull and predictable end.
If you're looking for something to fill your time while washing up then this is fine, it's not terrible it's just that the novelty runs dry very quickly and then we're just left with the sort of thing that we've seen many times before.
