Kate Siegel already is something of a Netflix horror icon thanks to her roles in her husband Mike Flanagan’s projects Hush, Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass, and now she’s continuing to work in the genre for the streaming service with Hypnotic, directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote. The movie will be available to watch on Netflix as of October 27th, and you can check out the trailer in the embed above.
Angel and Coote also wrote Hypnotic with Richard D’Ovidio, whose credits include the 2001 version of Thirteen Ghosts and the Halle Berry thriller The Call. Here’s the story they have crafted together:
Feeling stuck both personally and professionally, Jenn, a young woman reeling from a series of traumatic events, enlists a renowned hypnotherapist, Dr. Meade, to help on her road to recovery. After a handful of intense sessions, terrifying events, and mysterious blackouts, Jenn soon finds herself caught in a dangerous mind game. With the help of Detective Wade Rollins, Jen looks to put the pieces together before it’s too late and there are deadly consequences.
Siegel is joined in the cast by Jason O’Mara (The Man in the High Castle, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Dulé Hill (Psych, Night of the Animated Dead).
The Long Game’s Michael Luisi is producing the film, while Hemisphere Entertainment’s Ralph Portillo serves as executive producer.
Angel and Coote previously directed the Netflix release The Open House, a movie I wasn’t too fond of, mainly because the ending made me wonder why I had bothered to sit through the preceding 90 minutes or so. But I’m still on board to watch Hypnotic just because of the Kate Siegel of it all. Will you be watching it? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
