Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Hush (2016)

It's a home invasion movie with a twist: the target is deaf. Another twist: the target is smart. One last twist: the killer is also pretty smart.

Rather than being terrified by this, I just dug it in terms of strategy. Yes, it's scary, but it's neither silly nor exploitative; it's "this is what's happening and this is how I'm handling it." Unlike most run-from-the-killer movies, this target's actions made sense.

I'd call it a perfect Halloween choice.

B+
