GET OUT: Jordan Peele Creates A ‘Fun, Horror Movie’ With A Social Message

Get Out currently holds a 100 percent “fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes!

BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with director Jordan Peele in this backstage interview to talk about his upcoming horror comedy Get Out.

Marking as his directorial debut, Peele began the interview jokingly explaining that the film is based off of an autobiography. He then clarified that the unique storyline was created when he realized that there was a “missing piece” in the genre.

“I love horror movies,” said the director. “Every true American horror has a classic horror movie, and I hadn’t seen one about race since Night of the Living Dead.

Get Out – about a happy interracial couple that visits a cursed family estate – brings an “exploration of a bunch of different phenomenon’s surrounding race,” explained Peele. “The message of this film is up to the viewer to pull what they see.”

Synopsis:

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

Get Out hits theaters Friday, February 24th. Check out the full interview with Peele below:
