Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) is a Gothic horror-thriller directed by Robert Aldrich that you can watch online on iFILM. Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland face off in a story where the past doesn't stay buried — it haunts every room of an old Louisiana mansion.

Charlotte Hollis hasn't left the property in decades. Her fiancé was found headless there thirty-seven years ago, and though no verdict was ever reached in court, the town made up its own mind. When the estate is marked for demolition, Charlotte sends for her cousin Miriam — the one person she still trusts. Miriam arrives. The visions get worse. Charlotte stops being sure what's real and what her mind is producing.

Shot in high-contrast black-and-white by cinematographer Joseph Biroc, the film came from the same team behind What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? — and it delivers that same brand of psychological dread with no cheap shortcuts. Watch Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) online on iFILM.
