Movie description:
Another short work about a dark Canadian childhood (it’s hard to grow up well-adjusted in the Great White North). Sshhh... is a taut, superbly executed and decidedly macabre tale of an 11-year-old boy’s decision to stop his father’s adulterous affairs and save the family. While mom is away at work and dad’s mistress comes over, junior studies how to produce a lethal poison, tests it successfully on his pet rodent, and then, in a marvellously assembled suspense sequence, quietly administers it.
Writer and director Scott Smith has assured cinematic sense of pace and design, and an imaginative approach to mise-en-scene. While firmly rooted in the tradition of Hitchcock, Chabrol and others, Smith’s film is well-wrought and disturbing in its implications. Sshhh... is stark, unsettling and, yes, entertaining fare.
