Can't imagine this cost too much since Blumhouse's M.O. is to make stuff on the cheap. And with the Universal deal, it should be getting into a good amount of theaters.
I love that they cast Allison Williams from Girls as the girlfriend. Seems like perfect casting about entering an all-lily-white sphere.
The hard thing about films like this, and what's always made me struggle to be happy with my own race-based horror/thriller script, is keeping the message and the narrative on the same page. Trying to build to a climax often pulls you off message. Poorly chosen analogy ahead but you're basically trying to work for two masters. I'm interested in seeing how Peele pulls this off.
And, as usual, I fear the trailer showed too much but I'm still down.
