Hush (2016) Review


Hush is a psychological thriller about a young woman living in an isolated area who happens to be deaf. Sarah, played by Kate Siegel plays Maggie, a writer that for some reasons in her personal life takes to living alone. She seems to be doing well outside of suffering from writer's block and maybe some loneliness. She has friends and neighbors that check in on her and care enough about her to offer space for her to live should she come back to the big city.

Writer's block and loneliness become the least of her worries when an insane man played by John Gallagher, Jr. murders her friend and begins to toy with her with the intention of eventually killing her too. There was some reminiscent feeling of the film Extremities (1986) with Farrah Fawcett and James Russo where the situation is similar, home invasion against a woman living alone but the added character trait of Maggie being deaf leads to this film being a bit more chilling.

Hush is rated 'R' for violence and gore. The invader, only titled as "man" in the credits has zero remorse or respect for any life as you will see in the film. It's currently streaming on +Netflix US & Canada and worth a watch especially with Halloween right around the corner.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
