A Dark Turn for Hudson West
West wrote on Instagram, “The Arborist is in select theaters and available to watch at home start this Friday, February 6.” Along with the message, he shared a short promotional video that offered the first eerie taste of the project.
The clip opens with West’s character delivering a chilling line: “He said I had to kill it. I had to kill them all.” A confused voice answers, “What are you talking about?” Then the film’s director, Andrew Mudge, appears to explain that The Arborist is a psychological horror story about a grieving woman and her son who visit the estate of a mysterious recluse and awaken a haunting that ties them to a darker mystery.
The preview ends with two stark lines from the film itself: “Where’s my son?” followed by a blunt command: “Get out.” Fans immediately filled the comments with encouragement, as one fan wrote, “Congratulations, Hudson!!! I can’t wait to watch this film. We miss you on GH.” (Find out why GH needs Jake and Georgie (Lily Fisher) to return.)
Fans Cheer Hudson West’s Next Chapter
One follower added, “Congrats! Miss you and the Webber boys on GH. No other family on that show deserves to be shown more.” Another viewer chimed in after already seeing the film and wrote, “Just watched it today! It was a great film. You are quite a talented actor :)”
A supporter wrote, “Congratulations, Hudson. I can’t wait to watch it. Miss seeing you in GH.” Another follower kept things simple but enthusiastic with, “Now I know what I’m doing this weekend.” Others were just impressed by the glimpse of the film itself. One viewer wrote, “Oh wow. Looks great! Congratulations, Hudson,” while another added, “Looks amazing. Can’t wait to watch.”
For long-time viewers of GH, watching West step into darker territory is a reminder that Port Charles isn’t the only stage for the young actor anymore. And judging by the early reactions to The Arborist, fans are more than ready to follow wherever that path leads next.
