Universal Pictures’ Get Out, the film Variety calls a “bombshell social critique” that “proves positively fearless,” and The Hollywood Reporter raves is “one of the most satisfying thrillers in years,” is arriving in Philippine cinemas on March 15, coming off a smash No.1 opening in the US.
From Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of writer-director Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.
Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out blends humor, satire and horror…and isn’t afraid to tackle the current state of race relations in America head on. “This idea came from my wanting to contribute something to the genres of thriller and horror that was unique to my voice,” he says. “The fact that it goes to race goes to the area I’ve worked in a lot, which is comedy. This was a movie that reflects real fears of mine and issues that I’ve dealt with before.”
