Mr. Hush

A man searching for ten years for the killer of his wife and kidnapper of his child, finds him but not in the way he is hoping.

The 'mystery' of who or what Mr. Hush is can be guessed within the first eleven minutes into the film and only that long before he doesn't even show up until then 10 minute mark. That's 10 agonizing minutes of nothing happening. The only thing more dreadfully boring then those first ten minutes is the remaining part of the film. For extra masochistic points one could even stay after the credits for even more of this awful film, but I don't think anyone other then me would be that self-loathing as to do something as silly as that.

My Grade: F

This a hard one to review for me because I personally know one of the actresses in the movie: Jessica Cameron. She was going to be on a film we were making around the same time she was making this one but I think she pulled out to make this one. I'm not sure. Since then, she was excited to work on a project that I'm about to start in the next year. I know she was promoting Mr. Hush pretty hard, and I only recently got a chance to watch it. Oh man.....

It started off with a little promise. The directing was a little awful but I liked the camera they used. The camera man couldn't hold it worth a crud at times, but it was passable. Also the editing sucked too, okay so everything behind the scenes wasn't up to par! But I liked the acting! Jessica did well with her part, even with her awful lines, she was able to deliver it as convincing as she could. The actor who looked like Thomas Hayden Church seemed pretty good.

Then Mr. Hush came dressed up as Father Flannigan and everything went to crap. He ends up holding a knife to Jessica's throat as Thomas Hayden Church goes into defensive stance. There's no build up, no suspense, it just happens. Then nothing but hammy acting is displayed and everyone's acting ability and common sense goes out the window.

Then for some reason Thomas Hayden Church starts to look like Jeff Bridges and it just felt like a series of events were happening. Nothing in the movie seems like it was connecting to each other and the bad guys seem so hammy, I almost went out for a honey glazed ham at Kroger! It's that bad! Then I don't know what this film was supposed to be: a horror or a comedy? The last fifteen minutes of the film just seemed so out of place, and so laughable, and it was like the film stopped trying to take itself seriously... like it was a parody of itself.

I don't know how this got distribution or the appearance of Dante from Clerks into this, but I guess this could be a study film for aspiring filmmakers. It's an independent film and should be looked at as such. It's not the worst film I've ever seen, but I guess it's good to laugh at with your friends. My friends got bored, and they forced me to shut it off after fifteen minutes. I should have shown them the last.

I was mad that i wasted a dollar to rent it but what made me madder is the 2 hours taken from me to watch. no plot, no continuity, you could care less about the characters, I believe the smart ones wanted to die early to get out of the movie. couldn't figure out what was supposed to draw me in to keep me interested, and it wasn't even bad enough to be funny! and of course they tortured me with a possible sequel segment at the end of the movie, I knew I should have shut it off when the credits started, what was I thinking? i was probably to numb to think. not scary. not funny. not engaging. OK i need to say more to submit this request. watch dead broke it is a very good movie comparatively a who done it movie that keeps you guessing

We rented this because it was listed as a "horror" movie. The only thing more horrifying that the movie was the fact that I lost that much time of my life watching it and will never get it back. Every 5 minutes the story line shifts and you're like WTF just happened? The actors seemed like they were in a bad porn film. The story line was awful. The bad guy (Mr. Hush, who is never really revealed as such, but you kinda guess it from watching it) was as cheesy as they come. If this had been more of a "scary movie" type of genre, I could understand it. The makeup at the end was like something you'd see at Party City at Halloween. Low budget. Bad bad bad. I laughed for like 2 hours after watching this, mostly because we were both so angry we had watched it from start to finish! I would seriously like for Redbox to refund my money - it was that bad. In the future I will definitely read the reviews before randomly renting a movie from them.

I'm a self proclaimed massive fan of terrible horrible horror movies. Truly. Nothing I enjoy more than some crappy acting and unnecessary B- grade special effects.

That being said, this movie was just too much for me. Its just too bad. I can't even handle it.

I'm literally 15 minutes into watching it on netflix right now and I can't quite make myself turn it off. I don't know why. Its not even as intriguing as watching a train wreck.

I'd prefer a marathon of Asylum films to this. Its just not good. Its just.... not.

So don't even bother. It looks interesting enough from the general cover and description, but even as a lover of bad acting this was just too much for me.
