It’s been a bit more than a year since we first heard the news of a new “Hellraiser” film from director David Bruckner. And in that year, apparently, the film has already been produced and is in the middle of post-production, with an eventual Hulu release in the cards.

Spyglass Media Group and Hulu have made official the upcoming cast of David Bruckner’s reboot of Hellraiser, as well as the fact that the movie is headed to the latter streamer.

Jon Burlingame editorAs “The Night House” unfolds, and viewers watch as the widow of a suicide victim slowly unravels his dark past, it is composer Ben Lovett’s creepy, atmospheric music that keeps us on edge — a score that began long before director David Bruckner started filming on a lake in upstate New York.Lovett and Bruckner are old college buddies from the University of Georgia, and as soon as they finished work on “The Ritual” in 2017, Bruckner sent over a script that immediately inspired the composer.“The Night House” is not your average horror film.

She’s now alone in their isolated home that sits on a lake that Owen built for them.Optical illusions and creepy windows imply there is something sinister at work as Beth experiences the supernatural.It was up to Eder to find a location and built Owen’s dream home that makes the perfect haunting.

“Don’t go into the woods,” altogether too many characters have been warned through the annals of spooky literature and cinema, only to do so anyway, but Rebecca Hall has no choice because she already lives there in The Night House. Director David Bruckner clearly relishes the tropes of the horror genre and everything that comes with them. Honestly, though, we’ve been down this dark and woodsy path so many times that, no matter how many scares and shock cuts can be squeezed out of this crafty little thriller, this is a tree that’s long since been shorn of most of its leaves.

Hitting theaters next week, David Bruckner’s “The Night House” is a psychological horror with all the dials cranked up to 11, an unsettling exploration of grief and mortality that matches the intensity of that subject matter with brutal jump-scares, nerve-rattling sound design, and enough menacing ambience to keep your stomach in knots.

January 2020 feels like an eternity ago, doesn’t it?

Death, grief and recovery are hard roads to get past, but in “The Night House,” perhaps something more sinister than just shuffling off this mortal coil is on the menu.
