In 2017, an American film called Get Out achieved such great acclaim that it would soon become among the most talked about films of that year. For any film to create the kind of buzz that Get Out did is superb. For a horror film to do so is extremely rare.
Naturally, it did very well in cinemas (for obvious reasons) and grossed an impressive $255m (Shs938b) worldwide against a budget of $4.5m (Shs16.5b). A year later, the film received loads of nominations for prestigious awards, including two Golden Globes nominations and four Academy Award nominations, where it eventually won an Oscar for best original screenplay.
