Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
johncfc28 I find it amazing how people get very critical about films which in some cases weren't advertised as big block busters. OK this isn't going to win any Oscars but hey its wasn't as bad as some people think. I do find these films frustrating sometimes when you dissect them and say well i wouldn't have done that but hey if that is the case then tell all those idiots who still swam with Jaws and still go to holiday camps. It had suspense and some good moments, i thought it was better than i was lead to believe and wouldn't recommend it but if you do hire it then you wont be too disappointed and just enjoy it for what it is a low budget film with some good moments.
David James Bendle Zakes is just an average guy surviving on a average job when something happens, like many of us he is willing to tell someone and attempt to do something, but after the pass of responsibility is given to someone else he believes it's not his problem any more.This film shows how small things we do to people, like letting someone's tyres down because of a reason such as supporting another team it can have drastic affects in the long run.Zakes has lost his girlfriend in more ways than one, and the white truck becomes more of his problem than it did before, not once does he state he is trying to save the other girl he saw just his girlfriend, he's not trying to be a hero he's just doing what someone would actually do.Some area's of the film could be criticized such as the car running out of fuel, but we all know how quick fuel runs out when we're on the motorway and when the car stutters and starts to slow, old car's like that do struggle to keep up pace. If anything the fact it didn't breakdown is more unrealistic. I've heard the battery dying was another cliché but the girl who is on it removes the battery so he can't ring anyone, as she puts it back in later on to ring the man.The camera only ever leaves Zakes when it goes to his girlfriend when Zakes is doing his posters other than that your constantly with him, or being flicked to the security guys for a brief insight into how his girlfriend went missing. This constant sticking with Zakes is essential to keeping the fear factor, such as when he has to hide in the truck the camera is on Zakes, and you can only hear the footsteps, you do not know if the door is going to open or not. The fact Zakes 'talks' to himself and swears is a key part, as in so many films of this type they do not swear or say anything, the fear in his voice and eyes is apparent and William Ash does a brilliant job in bringing you into his feelings, of being terrified of something your chasing.Zakes goes through a hard time in this, especially after he finds out his girlfriend has cheated on him he still wants to save her. Showing love is a powerful factor and everything isn't over when the worst happens.Overall this film is easily under-rated, how it slipped under the radar compared to other over-hyped garbage we constantly see is unknown, but this film, given the right advertisements would have easily been a well worth profit maker. The ending wasn't great we're the credits stopped while it went back to the security dude, but how do you end an amazing film like that.Easily worth the watch, brings emotion and feeling into you and would be a good film to watch with a partner.
RickHarvey Motorways can be a eerie and lonely place to be when driving late one night. So the concept of the film , that being a trucker kidnapping women on motorways, was a good place to set an horror film. You got the dry deserts of Texas for TCM, and the dry deserts of Australia for wolf creek and now you got the empty motorways and services stops of Britain.The first half an hour of the film I rather enjoyed, the atmosphere was well created . The acting from William ash wasn't all to great, either was the dialogue seeing that the first half an hour mainly consists of an Eastenders type argument. Most horrors today can put me to sleep but Hush managed to keep me awake, this is probably because of the location they used , one that I am so used to . But the problem was that it didn't leave me with a satisfying feeling when it finished. What I watched was a bloke going out on a rescue mission for an hour. There were many unanswered questions such as , what was the killer doing with the girls?, why he captured them? Who the bloke at the store? If we knew why, then there would be more depth in the film, giving you more a disturbing creation. Also there were to many clichés . I know the horror genre is the hardest to reinvent, but can the director and writers please try and come up with new ideas . Also , what was up with the shaking effect when having a conversation at a table. It was very distracting but as soon as they get up and walk, the camera is locked, no movement whatsoever. There probably a meaning behind this ( I hope ) The plot was simple , not that this is bad as films such as Halloween have simple plots. But unlike Halloween , it failed to capture you into the situation of what the character was facing. Overall it was blunt and poorly delivered. Not one I'll watch again or even bring up in a conversation
Tom Erik Høiås better than expected British thriller about a mad man in a truck abducting girls. Zakes Abbot discovers this one night when he drive behind the Psycho's truck. is it better to leave it be? or get involved? hell soon find out the consequences of his decision. the last 20 minutes of the film , i found myself yelling at the screen saying "be quiet", "stupid woman" and "moronic dog". decent acting by the lead and superbly directing for first timer Mark Tonderai. the film could have easily be 30 minutes longer, especially since there was a few questions i wanted answered. the lack of these answers is the only reason i gave "Hush" a 7 in stead of an 8.
