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!
