The greatest movie ever!

An action-packed slog

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Holland Price has an idyllic life until one fateful Halloween night when a mysterious stranger arrives to murder his wife and kidnap his daughter. Ten years after Holland's life spiraled out of control, he's finally beginning to pick up the pieces when the nefarious Mr. Hush returns.Okay, I get the hate for this movie. On many levels it's amateurish - the performances are all either stilted or totally over-the-top, the tone is uneven, the sound fluctuations are jarring, the editor lingered too long on shots to pad the running time, and continuity is less than continuous. That said, I've seen a lot worse crap than this (I could easily name 10 off the top of my head... and bit-player Brian O'Halloran appeared in two of 'em).If you can forgive the many shortcomings, there's actually a lot to admire about this offbeat little flick. For starters, there's the story, which is fairly well-crafted despite some unnecessary scenes and redundant dialogue. There's decent misdirection going on which makes the big twist work - even if you think it might be going there (as I did), you don't quite expect it when it does. For fans of the cast (most of whom appeared in popular horror movies), there are dozens of sneaky references to their other films. And though the tone gets a bit too schmaltzy at times, when it's being playful, it's a helluva lot of fun. The film tries to be something unique and certainly succeeds on that level. This is the type of movie which probably plays best with a large audience of 30-to-40-something horror fans who are in on the jokes. If that's not you, then this definitely ain't your movie!

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.

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.

Independent film makers seem to be overloading the horror genre with tired zombie flicks and torture porn, so when something original like Mr.Hush comes along; it is like a breath of fresh air. The film is unique in that it marries contemporary scares with the long missed over the top campiness of the great horror films of the 70's and 80's. Our hero Holland Price (Brad Loree) is visited by our villain Mr. Hush (Edward X. Young) on a dark Halloween night in 2000, which starts the cycle of events that comprise the film. We are then brought back to present day, where the final showdown between the two ends with a surprise twist. As this is a low budget horror film it has its misses, but the hits far exceed them. Performances by Stephen Geoffreys (Evil Ed in Fright Night), Brad Loree (Michael Myers, Resurrection), and Steve Dash (Jason Voorhees, Friday the 13th 2) really stand out in a fun over the top kind of way. As a whole the film delivers scares, laughs, and a wild twist at the end; that makes Mr. Hush a solid popcorn B-Horror movie effort. If you are looking for gratuitous violence, and torture this is not for you. Stay thru the end credits for a great stinger with Clerks star Brian O'Halloran!
