FLEUR’S RATING: 4 OUT OF 5 CAT BISCUITS Directed by Mark Tonderai. Starring William Ash, Christine Bottomley, Stuart McQuarrie Hush – More of a thriller perhaps than horror, this magnificent British film is directed at breakneck speed.

FLEUR’S RATING: 4 OUT OF 5 CAT BISCUITS   Directed by William Lustig. Starring Tom Savini, James Brewster, Sharon Mitchell.   Maniac – People seem to miss the point of this film.
