Influenced By

  1. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
    "Peele's most-cited single influence. He named Rosemary's Baby — a film 'about men making decisions about women's bodies behind their backs' — as the structural template Get Out applies to race. Both Rose and Roman in Get Out are named after their Rosemary's Baby counterparts." source
  2. The Stepford Wives (1975)
    "Peele explicitly cited Levin's Stepford Wives alongside Rosemary's Baby as Get Out's twin influences — both films use a 'protagonist drives with their loved one to an out-of-the-way setting and uncovers a body-snatching conspiracy' premise that Get Out adopts directly." source
  3. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
    "Romero's foundational racial-horror text — Black protagonist surrounded by white menace, killed at the end by police. Peele has cited Night of the Living Dead in Get Out interviews as a foundational reference." source
  4. Halloween (1978)
    "Carpenter's slow-stalking suburban-horror visual register and use of point-of-view to create dread is in Get Out's Sunken Place sequences and the slow-burn first half." source
  5. The Shining (1980)
    "Peele has named The Shining repeatedly — isolated victim trapped in an environment that progressively reveals its menace. The hypnosis sequences echo The Shining's psychic-collapse register." source
  6. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
    "Get Out's procedural-becomes-horror structure and Demme's signature direct-address close-ups are echoed in Peele's framing of Chris's interactions at the Armitage compound." source
  7. The Thing (1982)
    "Jordan Peele has openly cited Carpenter as a foundational influence; Get Out's body-horror-as-social-allegory continues The Thing's tradition of monstrous transformation." source

Influenced

  1. Us (2019)
    "Peele's own follow-up — extends Get Out's social-horror framework into the doppelgänger/class-warfare register. Same protagonist-on-vacation-discovers-conspiracy template." source
  2. Candyman (2021)
    "Nia DaCosta's reboot (Peele co-wrote and produced) explicitly extends Get Out's racial-horror project — gentrification, historical violence, and the white art world processed through urban-legend horror." source
  3. Antebellum (2020)
    "Bush/Renz's racial-horror film is part of the post-Get Out wave — Black protagonist trapped in a white-supremacist conspiracy that turns out to be more literal than imagined." source
  4. Master (2022)
    "Mariama Diallo's psychological horror set in an elite predominantly-white college continues Get Out's social-horror tradition — Black protagonist discovers ambient-then-literal racism in supposedly liberal space." source
  5. They/Them (2022)
    "Logan's queer-camp slasher follows Get Out's template — marginalized protagonists at an isolated 'wellness' retreat that reveals itself as a violent conversion factory." source
  6. Nope (2022)
    "Peele's third feature continues the social-horror lineage Get Out established — spectacle as predation, Black protagonists confronting an inhuman threat that has been fed by white capital." source
