Author Maddie Young lives an isolated and alone life after losing her hearing ability at a young age. She lives alone and lives her life in misery and she distances herself from existing people around her and society in complete silence.

She was alone at that time and no one was available for her help to save her life. It looks like she was at her mercy for her life in danger.

Conclusion

In my opinion movies like Hush depend on psychopathic, horror, and thrilling sequels which indicates the pure class of predominantly dark features. As I experienced in “Hush” like movies, in  their sequels the protagonist fails or the antagonist prevails. The reader is led to apprehension that despite their best attempts. In the end, something bad wins and we can see a disclosed story line with a sad ending.
