[A] trashy, overwrought thriller.

Jessica Lange establishes a spark of interest in this psychological thriller with her giggly demonic performance. But the film never adds up to anything more than an elaborate tease.

The screenplay borders on the hilarious, at times, with a couple eliciting guffaws.

If only TriStar had hushed writer-director Jonathan Darby when he made the pitch for this insulting thriller.

Cast opposite Oscar-winner Jessica Lange, Paltrow makes abundantly clear her ability to compete with one of the best actresses in the business.

Given how terrible Hush is, it should be more fun to watch.

A mystery without surprises, a thriller without thrills. It's too bad, really, because the movie has a few strong points.

Only Nina Foch, as the wheelchair bound granny hidden away among nuns, shows any flair for taking this into the campy domain in which it might have flourished.
