Say Goodbye to This Twisted 111-Minute Horror Hit Leaving HBO Max in 2 Weeks
Sophie Thatcher's 2024 horror hit, in which she starred alongside Hugh Grant, is set to leave HBO Max in the US in two weeks. The film marked one of Thatcher's earliest big-screen breakout roles, following her rise to fame in the Showtime series Yellowjackets, and stands out among a filmography that has since taken increasingly unconventional turns, including the poorly received Her Private Hell and the Zach Cregger-produced sci-fi film Companion.
The 111-minute film, directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (writers of A Quiet Place), follows Thatcher as a conflicted Mormon missionary trapped in the home of a sinister stranger, played by Hugh Grant, during a storm. Chloe East co-stars as a fellow missionary. Released by A24, the film grossed over $60 million at the box office, making it one of the distributor's biggest sleeper hits, and it remains available on HBO Max in the US for a limited time before its departure.

Sophie Thatcher, best known for the Showtime series Yellowjackets, stars alongside Hugh Grant in a 2024 horror film that became one of A24's biggest sleeper hits, taking over $60 million at the box office. The film, directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who previously wrote A Quiet Place, follows a young Mormon missionary who becomes trapped in the home of a mysterious and menacing stranger during a storm, with Chloe East playing a fellow missionary caught up in the same ordeal.
The film has been available to stream on HBO Max in the United States, but streaming licences are typically time-limited, and it is now due to be removed from the platform. This kind of departure is common for films as distribution deals between studios and streaming services expire or are renegotiated.
