Last month, Shout! Studios brought Mike Flanagan’s chilling home-invasion thriller “Hush” to Digital for the first time. The 2016 film was released on Netflix but disappeared from the streaming service in 2023 and has never had another release. At the time, I speculated that we might finally see a physical release of the film, and on Thursday, that speculation became a reality when Scream Factory announced it would be releasing the movie on Collector’s Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray on November 26, 2024, in collaboration with Flanagan, Intrepid Pictures, and Blumhouse.
This highly anticipated Collector’s Edition includes a newly restored 4K version of the film, supervised and approved by Director Mike Flanagan. Additionally, a new black-and-white version of the film, nicknamed the “Shush Cut,” with a new audio mix will be featured. This mix removes nearly all of the score, providing a different effect that is just as terrifying as the original. The Collector’s Edition offers extensive bonus content, including new audio commentaries and interviews with the filmmakers and cast, new feature-length picture-in-picture video commentary with Flanagan and the cast, and much more. The 4-disc set features striking newly rendered artwork and a reversible wrap with a black-and-white version of the new artwork, all housed in a slipcase.

“Hush” is a gripping horror thriller about a deaf writer who has retreated into the woods to live a solitary life. She must fight for her life in silence when a masked killer appears at her window. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, “Hush” received critical acclaim following its debut at SXSW in 2016 and its initial launch on Netflix.
