There are certain situations horror
fans have seen over and over again. Sometimes it's within a scene, other times
it might be the outcome of the whole film. However that doesn't mean the result
will always be the same. Creating something different is what horror fans are
looking for, and the challenge for filmmakers.
In "Hush," Regan (Alexandra
Grace) is downstairs watching T.V. when there's a power outage. As she's trying
to figure what to do, a little girl, Irene (Riley Connor), from upstairs begins
to yell for her. After a few yells, and responses of "hush," Regan
makes her way into the girl's bedroom. By now horror fans are already thinking
about what's coming next, and hoping they don't see more of the same.
This is where the challenge for the
filmmakers kicks in, and they knock it out of park. Without giving it way, lets
just say there's a terrific twist that ends this short film in frightening
fashion. The two actors might not get a whole lot of screen time, but they are
very natural as to give no hints at what's about to happen. Lost in it all
might be the dark, and creepy background that's subtly created as Regan
navigates her way upstairs. In the end, it's really easy to see why this film
has been winning award after award at film festivals. If you see it listed at a
film festival near you, don't miss it.
