So like, I don't know if The Man is supposed to be hot but the entire plot of the film is home invasion cat-and-mouse game, so yes. He's hot. He does take off the mask, which is a point of contention amongst the fans, but I think mangy little pathetic hoodie guys are hot so like. He still works for me. I have reasons.

HUSH (2016) is a home invasion thriller about a deaf and mute author who lives alone in the woods having one very scary no good very terrible night as a serial killer with a crossbow decides that she will be The Most Fun He Has Ever Had All Day because of the aforementioned deaf+mute combo and proceeds to terrorize her in her own home.

It's directed by Mike Flanagan and stars his irl wife Kate Siegel as Maddie (the writer) and John Gallagher Jr. as "The Man."

It's the movie that made me realize I really like small cast cat-and-mouse thrillers! Especially where there's like.... Chemistry between the leads. It's also very clever, it's a lot of her trying to outsmart him.

I CAN STREAM IT IF ANYONE WANTS I have a copy and I'll be getting the Extra Fancy Shout Factory bluray sometime soon.

It isn't a perfect movie by any means (there's a lot of valid critique from the HOH community) but regardless I feel it's a very fun, engaging thriller and is one of my favorite movies. Just itches my brain in all the right ways, idk.
