1. Hush

Directed by: Mike Flanagan

Where to stream: Netflix

 

While on a writing retreat in a cabin in the woods trying to finish her next novel, a mute and deaf writer finds herself terrorized by a masked killer.

 

 

 

Before he made the Netflix horror anthology series “The Haunting of Hill House”, Mike Flanagan, along with wife and fellow creator Kate Siegel, made Hush, a low-budget yet incredibly intelligent horror film. Siegel’s character Maddie is a brilliant protagonist on her own, but she also provides great representation to people with disabilities in the horror genre. The film is continually intense, with plenty of action, and it’s not too long. Definitely a great option for a cold night in!
