- 91ConsequenceDan CaffreyConsequenceDan CaffreyHush‘s madman makes himself visible and vocal to his prey from the get-go. As a result, Flanagan and Siegel both get to lay their cards on the table early, freeing up their characters to focus solely on how to outsmart one another.

- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough less novel than Flanagan's previous pic, Oculus, Hush finds plenty of ways to flip roles in this cat-and-mouse game, letting his heroine get a bead on her stalker only to see the advantage taken away from her again.
- 50Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenHush has a solid first half before the cat-and-mouse shenanigans begin to seem repetitive and prolonged. Still, at 82 minutes Hush is a concise and well-executed horror nightmare.
