12 Underrated Recent Horror Movies You NEED To See
6. Hush
Yes, this entry is another film from Haunting of Hill House creator/ Doctor Sleep ruiner Mike Flanagan.
But this 2016 home invasion horror deserves to be spotlighted alongside Before I Wake if for no other reason than the films illustrate the breadth of the filmmaker's accomplishments.
Where Before I Wake relies on fantasy elements and some ambitious storytelling, Hush is Flanagan's simplest, and most effectively scary, film yet.
A slasher where almost no one dies, the unbearably tense home invasion film sees a deaf woman stalked through her remote home by an abusive ex... And that's it.
For over an hour the director tortures the audience with a slow and unsettling build up, creating a ruthlessly effective fright machine with sparsely an ounce of blood spilled.
