• stay away you been warned

  this movie is something else, just when you thought you seen the worst film possible you can watch this and regret losing out on 85 or so minutes of your life. this thing blows from start to finish and you wonder why you wasted so much time watching this only to remember that you seen everything else and you hate infomercials even more. were talking super cheesy lines with amazingly bad acting. when it comes down to it, blame the director, producer and writer. the actors did it for the paycheck the others were the ones who thought this was a good idea. do not watch, you will become more stupid after watching this movie.

• God this movie sucked

  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

  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.

• Terribly executed concepts, but overall concepts could have worked

  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!!!

• B-Horror?

  This is nearly unwatchable, and anyone that gives it over 3 stars is clearly an actor in the film, a family member of one of the actors, the director, or made the mistake of funding the film and is trying to get their money back by bumping the IMDb score. While I fully support independent films, this is film is poorly conceived on many levels. If you can get past the poor acting, cinematography, plot, directing, audio engineering, and vomit invoking lines... your still left with a film where you just don't care what happens, except to see just how ridiculous it gets. My core question, did they bother to take multiple takes or was this a "first take only" kind of film (aka, "dude, that first take might work... NEXT!"). Finally, the monologuing was completely over the top. No offense, but if you killed my wife and my girlfriend, I wouldn't let you blabber on about my grandfather... I'd just bash you with a bat and try to get out of the house. One of the worst parts: The "dream sequence," or whatever the heck that was, between Holland Price (Brad Loree) and his grandmother (~1 hour in) nearly made me want to destroy my TV. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? Also, the last 10 minutes is just laughable... as it's clear they simply gave up. I'm sure someone will say, "Oh, you just didn't get it." To that, you are wrong. It just didn't make sense. If that mess you call a movie was an attempt at horror, or a horror comedy, or something else, you missed on every mark. The one bright spot was Alexis Lauren, she did a good job and I could see her surviving this film and going on to do other things. Don't forget to watch the final credits as they actually had the guts to leave a sequel open? My vote, don't do it.
