: I translate part of a movie (tomb raider) and I have to translate into Hebrew the expression "holy ****". that is why I want to understand the exact meaning of it and of course in the right context:
: It's when Lara gets a letter from her dead father and Bryce says: "Blimey" and Hillary says: "Holy shh..."

: To me it sounds like surprise, or amazement.
: Thank you

You're absolutely right. That is exactly what it's meant to convey.
