Hush

"Hush"

       A short film, you can find on Vimeo, written and directed by Joseph McGovern.

       "Hush" tells the story of an obsession taken to it's extreme, done without dialogue. The acting is a bit exaggerated to make up for the lack of dialog but the story flows well.

        The music really helps create the mood and propel the story forward. The cuts between reality and fantasy are important and work very well to convey the obsession.

        While the climax of the film is deliberately shocking but necessary, the aftermath should have had a stronger response by the actors. There is a nice little twist though that I thought added a new element to familar themes.

          The short film is not hardcore but definitely for mature audiences only.
