THE NEW GENERATION OF SOCIAL HORROR MOVIES

Get Out producer Jason Blum is teaming up with acclaimed writer-director Dee Rees for a horror film about black lesbians in rural America.


In an interview with the new york times, Blum revealed that the pair will be working together on the as-yet-untitled movie based on Rees’s own experiences. 

Blum met Rees, who scored a major success at this year’s Sundance film festival with Mudbound, at an event in March, and she pitched him an idea about a small-town scary movie based in one location.

“You’ve got me and my wife, two black lesbians, and when we first moved in, we fought every day over all these little things: ‘Why is this over there? Did you move that?’” she said to him. “Maybe it was a ghost. Or maybe it was some other force – like us not wanting to be there or fitting in.”
