An extremely tense, underseen thriller movie is airing on TV tonight

It's a rare chance to check out the taut, 90-minute chiller.

The film revolves around a young man named Zakes (William Ash) and his girlfriend, Beth (Christine Bottomley), who become the targets of a psychopath while traveling along the M1 motorway late at night.

This is after Zakes catches a brief glimpse of an abducted woman being held captive in a truck as it overtakes him on the highway.

"Unsure of what to do, the panicking couple make a stop and try to alert the police to the situation," the plot synopsis reads.

"Soon Beth goes missing, however, and Zakes must find her before the murderous trucker makes her his next victim."

The feature debut of writer-director Mark Tonderai (House at the End of the Street), the film was made on a reported budget of just £1 million.

And yet it turns its limitations into strengths, with its everyday protagonists and Tonderai's lo-fi shooting style actually helping to make Hush's B-movie dark thrills feel all the more authentic and visceral.

Hush is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Film4 at 2.15am, so we'd advise recording the film and watching it later - particularly as it doesn't appear to be currently available to stream or rent anywhere.
