GET OUT’s Alternate Ending Featured On The Blu-ray And DVD – Now In Stores

Jordan Peele’s genre debut, Get Out, was not only a success, it is already being hailed as this year’s top horror film, and it’s only May (spoiler free review). Today, Get Out landed online and on the shelves. As fans who missed it in theaters or who simply want to watch it again (and again) rush to get their copy, there is a special feature that is worth seeing. There is an alternative ending that is far different from the one seen in theaters. During an interview on Talking With Chris Hardwick, Peele confessed that he wrote multiple endings for the hit film. I don’t want to spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen the film yet. Let’s just say the alternate ending does not go well for Chris (Daniel Kaluuya).

After his father goes missing, Black joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950’s America to find him.

Peele brought the book to Green’s attention. “When I first read Lovecraft Country, I knew it had the potential to be unlike anything else on television.” Green said. I’ll be honest, I thought Get Out was fantastic and
