It's not that i despise gory and tongue-in-cheek indie flicks at all, on the contrary. but *Spoiler* do you really have to cut out an embryo of a pregnant woman? that was when i turned it off. 1 star for the plot idea and 1 for being an indie movie. preggos and people with self respect, stay away.

I'm very stubborn and I will even hate watch films to the end if I have too, but my stubbornness wasn't strong enough for this. I didn't make it to the end, because everything was so bad. There's also a certain kind of bad I find really funny, this was not that. It was just dull and bad. The acting was terrible, where was the plot? There was something weird going on with the sound? The music sounded like it was from a cheesy porno, which really just grates with the mood of everything else going on. And was there really a need to rip out an embryo from the mother? I mean really?

Harris and his Mother enjoy bonding when going to the movies, but it seems that other occupants in the cinemas are making it harder for them to enjoy the show. Soon, someone starts murdering those disrupting the film, and now Harris finds himself not only confronting his past, but questioning his own sanity as well..... When a films plot summary entices you, you can be forgiven for ignoring the low score, and even the films that are recommended if you've seen this (believe me there are some beauties). This must be a cinephiles dream come true, someone taking revenge on people who ruin the movie for others.........but the reality is that this film is the stuff of nightmares. The bad acting and the cheap look of the film doesn't bother me, I was half expecting it. But what does bother me is one of the murders that is featured in the film. It's beyond abhorrent, and it tries to too hard to be shocking and exploitative. This is just downright repulsive, and leaves an awful taste in your mouth, hating the rest of the film. Some guy whom is a loser has written a decent script, but has it stolen by a neighbour, but the film has a sub plot of a murderer who kills people for talking and anything else than watching a film in the cinema. It's a slog to get through, and after the offending scene, you lose all respect for the makers of this trash. Anyone, and i mean anyone who gets anything other than hate and nausea from the scene in question, shouldn't be allowed within 10 feet of another human being. I love a good horror and an inventive death as much as the next gorehound, but taking it too far is an understatement. Trash.....

I'm not that type of person to stop watching the film before it ends. I'm also not the type to rate 1/10 any flick I dislike. In fact, I believe there are very, very few movies that deserve it. But Shhhh is definetely one of them, and I realized it after the first 15 minutes. There is absolutely nothing to praise. Not a single thing. Acting, writing, sound design/editing, make-up, even the opening credits, everything is hideous. I love low-budget horror films but I hate the absence of artistic interest. Shhhh is a Z movie schlock that will entertain no one.
