7 Years Later, Rebecca Ferguson’s Perfect Horror Sequel Shines on Free Streaming
At this point, it’s starting to feel like it’s Rebecca Ferguson‘s world, and we’re all just fortunate to be living in it. With an uncanny ability to elevate every project she touches, Ferguson has won over many hearts. She first broke onto the international stage in The White Queen, but soon parlayed that breakout to feature in blockbuster hits like the Mission Impossible and Dune films. However, tucked in between her tentpoles are a few under-the-radar projects that may not have dominated the box office, but remain just as compelling in quality. Now, one of those forgotten gems is finding a brand-new audience, and it’s available to stream for free.
While she’s become synonymous with action and sci-fi spectacle, Ferguson’s career has never been confined to a single lane. A true leading star, she has consistently shown impressive range, stepping confidently into drama and horror when the material calls for it. In fact, she got her start in the latter, making her feature film debut in 2004’s Drowning Ghost, a Swedish slasher that marked the beginning of her big-screen journey. She has since revisited the genre in projects like Daniel Espinosa’s Life and Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep. And lately, audiences have grown even fonder of the latter.
Doctor Sleep arrived with enormous expectations. A sequel to The Shining, one of the most iconic Stephen King adaptations ever made, the film had the daunting task of honoring both Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic and King’s later follow-up novel. While it may not have replicated the cultural phenomenon of its predecessor, it accomplished something arguably more impressive by becoming a worthy and deeply satisfying continuation of a horror masterpiece. The film has recently enjoyed a streaming resurgence and is now available on the free streaming service Tubi, where it ranks as the platform’s fifth most-watched movie at the time of this writing.
What’s Rebecca Ferguson Doing Next?
