It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I understand that the film fell apart to a lot of people.. However I believe that certain editing/ cinematography fixtures could have saved what some consider "a terrible, god awful film." This being one of the lowest ratings let me discuss what was good, what was bad, and what could have been good.Firstly what was good was the concepts, the main character played by Brad Loree(Michael Myers in the eighth installment of Halloween) who has been trying constantly to make amends to a victimized past and trying to rebuild, that in of itself is a good start. Some of the acting as far as Steve Dash (the first person to portray Jason Voorhess as a killer), Ed Young who portrayed Mr. Hush and a handful of side characters was able to keep the plot rolling and keep an audience in their seats. Some of the Make-Up Effects (including the throat slash done by Ed Young himself) were stellar. Lastly the revealing the villain as a vampire in a slasher inspired film is definitely an interesting take.Now to what was bad. Brad Loree had some very sore spots when he was in his spotlight; that all the more kind of took this out of the spotlight. Sadly a lot of your key actors (mainly the second love interest, the children, the lackey) really tore the seams out from this production. On top of that, the reveal that Mr. Young's character was a vampire trying to destroy the main character's bloodline was poorly executed as well as the make-up that was used. Lastly the cinematography was all over the place, between catching very key scenes of action at the worst angles and the shaking camera movement, that tore the film a new one. However in scenes in the restaurant, kitchen, houses, etc. That could have made this so much better. While talking the filming at the worst possible angles, the scene with using the chainsaw and catching the chain-less bar at the worst angles.But to what could have made this film so much better. Doing a few takes and r-shooting scenes. That in of itself could have saved this. Editing really tore the fabric of this film and that had some ability to save this production as well. The vampire make-up itself could have been done better and well within budget probably made the ending of the film a jump rather than a laughable moment. Lastly, whoever did the sound and score should ultimately be replaced. I feel that the film could have been saved all the more without a sound system that didn't feedback per every scream and that the score was better blended.To conclude this, I feel that this film had a lot of thought and potential, but that so many fixable errors doomed something that could have been so good!!!

Do not waste your time on this one. Characters are cardboard, the story takes 45 minutes to really get started (except for one quick kill, it's really dull to that point), and even then it doesn't amount to much.I'm not sure why the villain is called Mr. Hush. There's some kind of multi-generational revenge theme that isn't even mentioned until the last 15 minutes or so,and a dream sequence -- which comes out of nowhere -- is filmed exactly like everything else in the movie. That is, there's no transition, no fuzzy lens, no mist, no indication that it *isn't* just footage that was spliced in at the wrong place. And let's not forget the tedious halfway-through-the-credits epilogue that makes no sense whatsoever.I streamed this one, and the online description referred to it as "a throwback to '80s slasher films." It isn't. As another reviewer posted, "Mr. Hush" lacks a fearsome villain, has absolutely no jiggle factor, includes no over-the-top gore or imaginative kills...all things that are staples of the genre."Throwback," indeed. This one should have been thrown back where it came from.

this was probably one of the worst b-horror movies i've ever seen. The acting was terrible, the script sucked and the costumes and make-up looked like something I'd dress up my five year old niece in. To say it was below average would be an understatement. My gf got this movie with a promotional code from red box and I still wanted money back after watching this crap. If i wanted to sum up this movie, Id say that it was a porno like movie without the sex ;(. The main character was dressed up like count chocula, and the main character was pathetic and seemed like he had some type of mental disability the entire movie or maybe that was just the bad acting. I implore anybody who thinks about watching this movie to stay far, far away. Mr. Hush should be thrown into the abyss of worst horror movies ever created.

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.
