Genre Research - Get Out

Another suspense film opening scene is from the movie GET OUT. It opens with a man walking down the sidewalk in the middle of the night on the cell phone. He is followed by a car and eventually abducted. Although there is a non-comedic event occurring their choice of background music gives it a light mood and a comedic effect. I don't know anything about the movie and the opening scene gives you very little information, adding to the suspense. The movie grosses over 200 million dollars with a budget of 4.5 million. It also was nominated for 24 awards; some include Critics Choice Award and Empire Award for Best Horror.
