It did not live up to its potential, but it is not a bad movie to watch if you are trying to get into the Halloween spirit. The movie is far from perfect and periodically resorts to lazy writing but it was a mildly entertaining movie. The man was just a crazy person and that was really all he needed to be. I was also pleasantly surprised that the filmmakers did not explain the antagonist.

Katie Siegel does a great job of maintaining viewer interest through her performance. There is basically two movies in one: the movie before Maddie discovers what is going on (the movie people want to see), and the movie after she learns what is going on. What started as a creepy thriller with the compelling twist of the main character being deaf, ends up turning into more of a mildly intense action movie with little to no plot and an under-utilized concept of the main character being deaf. The movie loses something once Maddie figures out what is going on. Hush was a movie with a very fascinating premise and a strong setup, but was unable maintain the fascinating nature of its premise throughout the entire story. Which way it went depended entirely on what the writers needed in order to move the plot along. In some scenes she has a really smart survival instinct, in others, this is turned off. The worst part is, this seemed to be turned off and on whenever it was convenient for the writers to do so. Instead, the character is not only a deaf author, but she is also Rambo. What bothered me about this was that the writers never used her hearing impairment to her advantage. Maddie is somehow able to hold her own against someone who supposedly hunts people for sport, and she does so as if she is in a war zone. She treats her own wounds, and powers through those injuries. However, there are a few moments where the lack of realism is distracting. Maddie had to do this for at least the majority of the movie and it becomes a bit unbelievable when you take a step back and look at what this character has gone through. She is a deaf author, but because she is the only real protagonist in the movie, she has to hold her own against a deranged killer. Midnight Mass is referenced in Gerald's Game.

Seeing as Midnight Mass itself is a fictional story, it looks like the Netflix series exists in a universe of its own.

While I thought Katie Siegel did a decent job in this role, the character of Maddie suffered from some lazy writing. The Midnight Mass novel easter egg has left fans theorising about whether Hush and Gerald's Game both exist within the same universe.
