SILENCE CAN BE KILLER. Before The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep, writer-director Mike Flanagan delivered Hush – a lean, nerve-shredding exercise in minimalist terror. Co-written with and starring Kate Siegel, this stripped-back home invasion thriller showcases the filmmaker’s mastery of sustained suspense. Maddie (Siegel), a deaf novelist living in secluded woodland isolation, finds her hard-won peace shattered when a masked killer (John Gallagher Jr.) appears at her window. Cut off from help, she is forced into a brutal game of cat and mouse where silence becomes both her greatest vulnerability and her only weapon. As the night deepens, Maddie’s survival will depend on ingenuity, resilience, and sheer strength of will. Claustrophobic, cleverly constructed, and relentlessly tense, Hush transforms a simple premise into a masterclass in pure tension, demonstrating that sometimes the quietest films make the loudest impact. 2-DISC 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Adam Rabalais • Collectors’ booklet featuring new writing on the film by Anton Bitel, Kat Ellinger, Amanda Reyes and Eloise Ross DISC 1 - ORIGINAL VERSION • 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in HDR10 of the original, full-colour version • English Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio options • Shush Cut audio mix in DTS-HD MA 5.1 • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Audio commentary with co-writer/director Mike Flanagan, co-writer/actor Kate Siegel, and actors Samantha Sloyan, John Gallagher Jr. and Michael Trucco • Picture-in-picture commentary with Flanagan, Siegel, Sloyan, Gallagher Jr., and Trucco • The Dance Macabre, an interview with Mike Flanagan • To Stand Alone, an interview with Kate Siegel • The Constant Reader, an interview with Samantha Sloyan • The Shape of Silence, an interview with John Gallagher Jr. • Silent Witness, an interview with Michael Trucco • One Good Scare, an interview with actor Trevor Macy • Violent Strains, an interview with composers The Newton Brothers • One Terrible Night, an interview with cinematographer James Kniest • Original trailer • Image gallery DISC 2 - SHUSH CUT • 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in HDR10 of the Shush Cut, presented in black & white with a revised audio mix • English Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio options • Original version audio mix in DTS-HD MA 5.1 • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Audio commentary with Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel • Mike Flanagan Artist Talk, a feature-length Q&A with the filmmaker, recorded at Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal in 2024 • Beyond Fest Q&A with Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel, recorded at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles in 2024 • The Silent Mask, a brand new visual essay by author and critic Alexandra Heller Nicholas on the film’s representation of deafness
