Ready for 'The Life of Chuck'? Mike Flanagan’s Stephen King Film Goes Digital Next Week
Don’t miss this deeply emotional story starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill.
Stephen King adaptations are everywhere this year, but The Life of Chuck truly stands apart. It premiered at TIFF 2024, and according to Collider, it’s coming to digital platforms on July 29 — so I’m already planning to watch it again at home.
Mike Flanagan, known for Doctor Sleep, has taken a surprising turn here, swapping horror for a deeply emotional and intimate story.
I have to say, this film really got under my skin. Following Charles "Chuck" Krantz through the defining moments of his life felt like a meditation on how ordinary choices can have extraordinary meaning.
The cast — Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill — delivers performances so nuanced that I was hooked from start to finish.
With an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes plus an 88% audience score, it’s clear this story resonates. I’m curious — have you caught any of Flanagan’s Stephen King adaptations before? How do you feel about him shifting from horror to something so heartfelt?
If you’re interested, you can stream The Life of Chuck on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home starting this Tuesday, July 29, as Collider reports.
For me, it’s the kind of film that makes you think and stays with you long after watching.
