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

Going in expecting a solid slasher film will not properly prepare you for the MR. HUSH experience. No, it's best to sit on a hot stove, or hit yourself on both thumbs with a heavy hammer before viewing. That way, severe agony has already set in.

Through your tears, you'll witness some of the worst acting ever recorded. No, really. These "actors" must have simply wandered in from the street and been given the job on the spot. Wooden? You could build a barn out of them!

The titular killer is, to put it lightly, a non-frightening self-parody. The story and dialogue are ludicrous, and the hero is a boob.

It's total lack of budget is no excuse, since some very good horror films have been made with equally low funding. Nope, this is terrible no matter how you look at it. After viewing this one, you'll be wondering where that hammer is...

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.

What a waste of an hour and half! The camera work was so shaky I got motion sickness(maybe it was the acting), the shots were so close every time the characters shifter a little the camera would move up down or sideways. I guess you could turn this movie into a drinking game, every time Holland screams you drink- might last 5 minutes. If you watch this don't blame me. Gotta add more lines so this will post Bad Movie Really Bad! The only thing I liked about it was they filmed near my old home, Stroudsburg and the woods were nice I feel bad for anyone else that watches this. The actor that plays the lead Holland has a very nice acting/stunt resume wonder if he can keep this one off? I think I have enough. Text to post

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.
