The Empty Man Returns to Hulu on October 1
David Prior's cult horror film The Empty Man, starring James Badge Dale, comes back to Hulu on October 1 after previous streaming runs.
The Empty Man is set to return to Hulu on October 1, giving subscribers another chance to catch David Prior's horror film. The movie first hit theaters in 2020 from 20th Century Fox and has since developed a devoted following.
Directed by Prior and based on a Boom! Studios graphic novel, the film stars James Badge Dale, Marin Ireland and Stephen Root. It follows a former detective investigating a missing person case that leads him into a supernatural mystery.
The movie was not a box office success, grossing just under $5 million against a $16 million production budget. Critics were more receptive than general audiences: it holds a 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience score sits at 39%.
