What's the point of the kids making the 'shush' gesture?
Besides an attempt at making the kids look eerie by striking a pose?
shareThey're being naughty by killing their family?

Super 8 film is silent film, there's (in most cases) no audio to it, at least not with home movies, and since the kids live in Boogie's super 8 films it could be that there's no sound in their realm.
Or it could just be that the film needed something eerie to make it stand out, not necessarily anything with meaning but just something to catch viewers' attention.

Yes I thought they would explain the sush more and expected it to mean something. The only thing I could think of during the movie was the kids were telling him to not tell anyone what he saw. But it was never really explained.
shareI think the shushing thing is creepy. Want to hear something weird. When I was a little kid way long before the shushing thing was used in movies I would have nightmares of running through the house to try and get away from an intruder. Anyway in the dream my brother would look at me and shush and in the dream for some reason i found this terrifying. It was sort of a long drawn out Shush like in the movie with a finger to the lip. Maybe this is why I thought the kids doing the shushing like that was creepy.

to try to look "edgy" and "scary". every time they did that, i just wanted to bat them in their heads for looking like a bunch of tryhards
shareYeah, trying hard is the worst thing anyone could possibly do.
In seriousness, though, they obviously needed to try harder, if anything. Regurgitating ancient horror cliches that were never good in the first place is pretty much the opposite of trying hard.
