With the release of #ImaginaryFilm this week, it seemed like a good time to look back at some of my favourite films from #Blumhouse. Sure, there are tons of films that they release that I despise, I’m looking at you Five Nights at Freddy’s, the terrible legacy sequel The Exorcist Believer, and completely mind numbing remake of Black Christmas; but they have been responsible for some truly outstanding films over the past decade. Yes, they are best known for their #horror films, but they have also been responsible for critically acclaimed films such as Jordan Peele’s Get Out and Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. As a studio, Jason Blum has been a true champion of making small budget films, supporting independent and first time filmmakers, and turning them into box office successes, and for that alone I will always watch their films, but the following films are the films that to this day remain my favourite to be released by Blumhouse.
