Producer Jason Blum on why ‘Get Out’ works as a great horror movie
“A great horror film should work without the scares. If you take out the scares of a great horror film, it should work as a drama. And ‘Get Out’ really, really works as a drama, so the scares are ultra-effective because you’re on the edge of your seat watching what the characters are saying to each other.”- Blum on why ‘Get Out’ works as a great horror movie
