Hush - 1998 * * * *


Don't breathe a word.
I don't get why this is such a slated film, I thought it was really good and the performances (especially Paltrow's) were brilliant. I love the fact that it isn't well known and that I have been able to uncover it. This is why watching so many films can be so rewarding.
Jessica Lange is on top form as the disturbed and dillusional mother of Paltrow's boyfriend who is determined not to let her son's new girlfriend get in the way of her relationship with him.
Some genuinely eerie moments ( favourite being the event happening in the bedroom towards the end)and a really good and fulfilling ending, this is so worth your time, so ignore all negative reviews.
