Published

Last year’s horror offerings didn’t get much better than Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Hill House,” a genuinely scary and highly emotional series that premiered on Netflix last Halloween season. Even Stephen King called the series “Close to a work of genius,” and we’re excited to report today that an “Extended Director’s Cut” is soon on the way!

Shared by Amblin over on Twitter, it looks like the extended cut of “The Haunting of Hill House” will only be released on Blu-ray, and it’s up for pre-order right now through Amazon.

We don’t have any further information at this time, nor is there a release date currently listed on Amazon, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted as soon as we learn more.

“The Haunting of Hill House” is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s legendary novel of the same name, about five siblings who grew up in the most famous haunted house in America. Now adults, they’re reunited by the suicide of their youngest sister, which forces them to finally confront the ghosts of their own pasts…some which lurk in their minds…and some which may really be lurking in the shadows of the iconic Hill House.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Victoria Pedretti, Michael Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel and Mckenna Grace lead the cast.

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
