We are joined once again by film critic Kristen Lopez ​to further discuss​​the representation of disability in cinema. This time we dive into the horror genre with Mike Flanagan’s 2016 thriller Hush. The film focuses on a writer who is deaf whose solitary life in the woods is disrupted by a masked killer. We also take a moment to ​highlight our two short film picks (available online for free): Rob Savage’s Dawn of the Deaf and Charlotte Wells’ Laps.6:59 Dawn of the Deaf21:11 Laps35:28 Hush
