This American television and film company produces similar films to our genre: psychological horror. It was founded by Jason Blum in the year 2000.
They have produce some of the most famous horror movies, such as 'Insidious', 'The Purge', 'Split', 'Get Out' and 'Paranormal Activity'. The success of Paranormal Activity marked the beginning of success for Blumhouse Productions, and they continued to produce further horror movie successes such as 'Sinister' (2012) which engrossed a gross profit (worldwide) of over $77 million, with only a budget of $3 million.
Blumhouse Productions produce movies on a low budget, which is similar to our production company as we need a low budget to create our film because we are students.
The company usually is independent but works with distributors such as Universal and Paramount Pictures to distribute their films. They worked with Universal for the film 'The Purge' which starred Ethan Hawke.
Usually they intend for their horror films to be low budgeted.
The head of production is Jeanette Brill.
The main certification of Blumhouse Production films are 15 and 18 which is similar to our production group as our aim of our target audience age is to be 15. If our content is more explicit, such as having footage of an actual knife inserting a body then it would turn from a 15 to an 18, simply because it is not suitable for a person at the age of 15 and to follow the BBFC regulations.
Where does Blumhouse Productions stand in the industry today?
Blum's first feature credit was in 1995 for his college roommate's first movie called “Kicking and Screaming.” Since then, Blum has worked on a variety of independent films, including the famous films that I have mentioned previously, such as 'Insidious'.They gain audience satisfaction by giving them the familiar faced actors and also by using a low budget, which they are known for. Currently, their recent movie 'Split' is also a huge success because of this.
