Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

sgcim I couldn't believe how stupid this movie was; I really thought there would be a twist to it that would make it at least a decent film, but it just played out as if the director and writer had been lobotomized.All they needed to do was make Mr. Hush a multiple personality of the idiot father, and he had hallucinated the priest killing his family, or something like that, but no, this thing played out as a straight plot! I don't give movies a one if they have bad production values, or a few bad actors, or a low budget, but this one looked okay, and had what seemed like poor acting, which I thought was going to be redeemed by the fact that the father was really a psycho killer. All you can really feel is pity for anyone involved in this film.

Donnie Drumm 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!!!

suzanpatrick 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.

movieman_kev 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
