Rome Fortune's new music video inspired by Jordan Peele's Get Out tops today's Horror Highlights, and we also have details on the campaign to make Schlitzie: One of Us and trailers for Atomica, Us and Them, and Feral.

Get Out Music Video: "Watch artist Rome Fortune’s music video inspired by the film.

In Universal Pictures’ Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation.

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods).

At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

Equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary, Get Out is written and directed by Peele (Key and Peele) and produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, as well as Sean McKittrick (Donnie Darko, The Box), Peele and Edward H. Hamm Jr. (The Box, Bad Words). The film also stars Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men series), Milton “Lil Rel” Howery (The Carmichael Show), Betty Gabriel (The Purge: Election Year), Marcus Henderson (Pete’s Dragon) and Keith Stanfield (Straight Outta Compton)."

Written and directed by Jordan Peele, Get Out stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, and Catherine Keener. Get Out will be released in theaters by Universal Pictures on February 24th, 2017.

Get Out is produced by Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum, Jordan Peele, and Edward H. Hamm Jr., and executive produced Raymond Mansfield, Couper Samuelson, Shaun Redick, and Jeanette Volturno. In case you missed it, check out our Sundance review of Get Out, as well as two clips from the film and an online art gallery inspired by the movie.

Us and Them Trailer: "US AND THEM is a UK film starring Jack Roth (son of actor Tim Roth) in a tour de force performance about an ordinary working class kid who is tired of the rough deal he faces. His plan? To start a revolution by streaming attacks against the one percent on the web. His goal? To terrify the elite into bringing about chance. His plan spirals out of control when he holds a banker and his family hostage and forces them to gamble for their lives."

Watch the Trailer for Feral: "The horror/thriller FERAL receives its first trailer and is looking for a festival premiere.

FERAL stars Scout-Taylor Compton (Rob Zombie's Halloween) as Alice, a medical student who goes on a weekend hike with her new significant other Jules, played by Olivia Luccardi (It Follows), and four best friends. Their idyllic vacation becomes an unrelenting nightmare after a wild animal attacks the camp, infecting the campers with an unknown virus that turns them into rabid, bloodthirsty creatures. Alice and Jules must tap into their animalistic instincts to survive the horror waiting for them in the woods.

The film also stars LEW TEMPLE (The Devil’s Rejects, Unstoppable, The Walking Dead), RENEE OLSTEAD (Unfriended), BROCK KELLY (Pitch Perfect), LANDRY ALLBRIGHT (Con Air) and GEORGE FINN (Time Lapse, LOL).

FERAL was produced by John Landolfi, directed by Mark H. Young (Wicked Blood, Tooth & Nail), and written by Mark H. Young and Adam Frazier. The film was shot on location in Los Angeles and the Angeles National Forest."

Schlitzie: One of Us: "Schlitzie: One of Us is a love letter to the 4-foot-tall performer, who was born with microcephaly and made his most notable cultural impact via the 1932 classic Freaks.

The doc examines how he touched the hearts of many people and made an impact on pop culture while imparting a hopeful message.

There is a fan base out there, but others will appreciate the tone of acceptance and tolerance, and that everyone deserves a chance to live and be a part of society, no matter how different you look, talk or act.

Not only will the documentary be entertaining, it should appeal to those who are different: those with Autism, Down Syndrome, the LGBT community, children who are bullied, those body shamed, etc.

We ask for your donation, so we can continue the production, the travel, the equipment, music licensing and of course, making sure the crew gets paid."
