Hush (2016) Kate Siegel
The Big Picture When it comes to modern horror filmmakers, no one is as beloved as Mike Flanagan. The director has given us traumatizing films like Oculus, Doctor Sleep, and Gerald’s Game, alongside masterful shows like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. However, one of his lesser known gems is Hush. The slasher starring Kate Siegel was originally released on Netflix in 2016, but has since left the platform without finding a new streamer or having a Blu-ray release.
While talking to Slash Film, Flanagan said, “We took it back because I really value physical media. And Netflix, by policy, it does not work in their business plan. So we took it back. We do have a new home for it. I can’t say where.” The Gerald's Game director would continue on, “I can say there will be a physical release, and that there will be a lot of really awesome surprises that we’ve been working on for a year to make this release awesome. It’s something that will be really exciting.
What’s ‘Hush’ About? Close Hush is a sleek home invasion slasher that follows a deaf-mute horror writer, Maddie Young, who has to defend her isolated home from a masked killer. While that’s a pretty standard set up for a slasher, nothing is ever simple with Flanagan, as his staple atmosphere is on full display here. This is all the while Siegal gave off a performance that stunned horror fans and fiercely showed that the genre's next great final girl had arrived.
What’s Next For Mike Flanagan? While we wait for more details on Hush’s physical release and what streaming platform it’ll end up on, Flanagan has just finished filming his next Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck, which features an all-star cast of Matthew Lillard, Mark Hamill, Karen Gillan, David Dastmalchian, Tom Hiddleston, and Siegal. It has also been announced that he’ll be the next director to take on The Exorcist franchise for Blumhouse.
