Mr. Hush

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.

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.

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 is quite literally one of the worst movies that was ever made. It was so bad I thought it was a joke at first. I made better movies in high school with friends. The only redeeming thing about this thing is that it actually ends. Watch something else like paint dry.
