    #HorrorWritersChat Q2 I am fully aware that it's reductive as heck & doesn't help anybody but I'm a sucker for a good crazy girl locked in an asylum. Think Brittany Murphy in Don't Say a Word, Jolie in Girl Interrupted or the entire film Gothika with Halle Berry.

    I'm pretty sure I've been thinking that Girl, Interrupted and Don't Say a Word were the same movie for the last 25 years

    Live Crush Watch: Don't Say A Word Sean Bean's character says the title of the film cementing him as the protagonist!!!! 👀 he did steal MD's child though, complicating the matter.

    Live Crush Watch: Don't Say A Word Okay hear me out... They start the film with the heist/robbery... Sean Bean's character is foiled. AS FAR AS I KNOW AT THIS POINT HE'S THE GOOD GUY. Look at him staring intensely into these flames after the double cross!!!!

    I'm watching Don't Say A Word, some light entertainment on a Friday morn. Lance Reddick has a small role, but he probably has the best line in the whole film.

    Oddly enough, one of the few with the guts to keep the towers in was Don't Say a Word, a very silly movie that was supposed to be Brittany Murphy's big "Look, I can be a great dramatic actress" moment. It's most famous for her doing a singsong "I'll never tell."

    The 2001 movie "Don't Say A Word" is a good watch. I Google searched Brittany Murphy to see what she's up to in 2025, only to read she died in 2009 at the age of 32.

    I’m going to rewatch Brittany Murphy in Don’t Say a Word because I still miss her and her performance is amazing. Even better in the audition clip they included on the DVD, though. #BrittanyMurphy #DontSayAWord
