Where to begin! Hush is one of those dumb thrillers where all the characters run around acting stupid. Jessica Lange is in psycho mode' as an obsessive mother, trying to control her adult son's life. The son, played by Johnathon Schaech, and his fiancee, played by the beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow, find their lives turned upside down by the demented Lange.
Hush offers no real character, nor does it offer any originality. It's a by-the-numbers story with no real surprises. Lange and Paltrow try hard, but they just can't rise above this ridiculous material, including an ending so unsatisfying, I almost felt like sitting through The Postman again! Almost!
