Hush is a 2016 American slasher film directed and edited by Mike Flanagan, and starring Kate Siegel, who also co-wrote the film with Flanagan.[3] The film co-stars John Gallagher Jr., Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan, and Emilia "Emma" Graves. It was jointly produced by Trevor Macy through Intrepid Pictures and Jason Blum through Blumhouse Productions.

The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 12, 2016,[4] and was released by Netflix on April 8, 2016.[5] It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and atmosphere.

The film has been remade twice in India, once as the Hindi-language film Khamoshi (June 2019), and again as the Tamil-language film Kolaiyuthir Kaalam (August 2019). Both remake films were directed by Chakri Toleti.[6][7] Midnight Mass, a miniseries based on the Hush story within a story of the same name, also created and directed by Flanagan, and starring Siegel, was released on Netflix on September 24, 2021.[8][9]
