3. Hush
As calling cards go, there's a reason Mark Tonderai went straight off to Hollywood to make horror films with Jennifer Lawrence (see the upcoming House At The End Of The Street) - his debut, Hush, is an astounding and assured thrill-ride. Playing fast and loose with the conventions we've seen laid out before in Spielberg's Duel, Jonathan Mostow's Breakdown and many a slasher movie, Hush is a genuinely thrilling B-movie that sees a young couple drawn into a game of cat and mouse with a truck driver following a near accident.

I'm a part-time writer, part-time stand-up comedian, full time movie geek who strongly believes Martin Brest's MIDNIGHT RUN is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, movie ever made!
(... This is the bit where you mutter "You must be some sort of friggin' comedian if you think Midnight Run is the greatest movie ever made!")
I'm a massive junkie for 'revenge' and 'conspiracy' movies and I'm an even bigger fan of all things John Carpenter, Albert Brooks, Coen Brothers, Sidney Lumet, Paul Thomas Anderson, Tony Scott, Christopher Nolan, Michael Mann, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, David Fincher, Wes Anderson and Shane Meadows.
