A swimming pool with cloudy waters, an imaginary friend we don’t wish we had, a spinning AI. This year again, Blumhouse didn’t spare the audience scares, which producer Jason Blum made a specialty of. through His box, from 2009.
Nine years after its creation, the huge success of Paranormal Activity ($193 million worldwide on a budget of Rs 15,000) gave a good start to its story and production method based on reduced budgets to maximize profits. Insidious and American Nightmare, some of M. Night Shymalan’s latest opus (The Visit, Split, Glass) and even the latest Halloween trilogy are especially credited to Blumhouse.
Between films and series, the number of his works is now close to 150. But do you know what is Jason Bloom’s top rated feature film? At first glance, it is not easy to think about it, because it is more associated with the company of its manufacturer.
But it’s really Get Out, Jordan Peele’s first film (before us, also produced by Blumhouse, then Nope, which wasn’t). And it’s easy to understand, because the movie averages 4.1 out of 5 (out of 26,534 ratings) and was a huge success. The first public grossed $255.6 million (and 1,145,664 viewers in France), against an estimated production budget of $4.5 million.
and critical, with no less than four Oscar nominations for one award: Best Original Screenplay, in 2018. So, no, knowing that, it’s no surprise that it ranks so high on Blumhouse productions.
Some excerpts from the reviews of Internet users who gave a maximum score of 5 out of 5 to Get Out.
reymi586: “Absolutely insane film directed by Jordan Peele. I loved this work, it mixed genres perfectly, between thriller, horror and sometimes humorous touches without falling into parody. The actors are fabulous, Daniel Kaluuya and Alison Williams in the mind. A very, very good moment in cinema with an original, new story that revolutionizes the genre.”
Psycho: “Funny, mysterious, disturbing, inventive, “Get Out” is a casting where the smallest role is prepared and brought to perfection. Generosity, freedom of expression, subversive humor and above all, and especially, that you keep an eye on the characters (their attitude. , their costume. .. everything is designed with care and precision) prove once again that the work done on Get Out is monumental!”
scarface666: “Arthouse horror cinema has proven once again that the genre is not dead when it is in the hands of talented directors. Get Out is probably one of the best atmospheric horror films since the gems of It Follows and Vvitch (.. .) The film’s pacing is excellent, A long exposition, clues scattered here and there, little time for investigation and a third act that is neither too long nor too short, add a satisfying conclusion and we go with a smile on our face and a head full of thoughts I just saw aliens.
Absolutely insane movie directed by Jordan Peele
rain_shadow: “We have to dare to make a film like this against the backdrop of the identity crisis between blacks and whites (racism) in the US. This thriller immerses us in ordinary racism, well-masked, terrifying and terrifying, bloody and cruel. This film is a jewel of 2017!!”
evil dog “The greatest strength of the film is undoubtedly its atmosphere, which is simply extraordinary. After a sequence of outstanding prologues, we enter the small lives of Chris and Rose, where their romance is very believable, and then we slowly move into the film. Weird, strange, constantly tense atmosphere.
Visually opulent and sophisticated, Get Out serves as a small slap in the face to the first production’s appropriate subject matter and intellectual treatment for its unique character, which despite containing the genre’s clichés, manages to digest its codes. using them fairly.”
How nice that you can still be surprised by the film. Get Out is inventive, funny, funny, disturbing and devilishly scary
locked: “It’s great that you can still be surprised by the film. Get Out is inventive, playful, funny, disturbing and devilishly scary! The awkwardness is palpable from the start and the tension builds gradually and very cleverly. The performers are excellent. And the atmosphere is wonderfully uncomfortable, set off by the music perfectly.
Cameo: “The first film to depict a black American’s journey in Trump’s racist America. The story combines two films that marked the end of the 60s: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner Tonight? and Rosemary’s Baby: A social film turns into a horror film in reverse. Closed doors, but Jordan Peele arrives With laughs that give this film a lambic look and dramatic tension is maintained in a genre film with power and intensity a very successful first film!
