Lovers of R-rated horror can eagerly anticipate June, as it brings an opportunity to revisit two highly acclaimed horror movies from the 2010s – “Get Out” and “Hereditary” – for free on Tubi. Both films have garnered a dedicated cult following, with some considering them as the finest offerings in the genre of this century.
Horror enthusiasts on Tubi have even more reasons to be thrilled than just watching “Get Out” and “Hereditary”. A variety of other horror films, such as “Alone in the Dark”, “Friday the 13th”, “Gremlins”, “House on the Haunted Hill”, “Piranha 3-D”, “Texas Chainsaw”, “The Lodge”, and Stephen King’s “Cat’s Eye” are also available for viewing.
Why Are Get Out and Hereditary Considered Generational Films?
Few movies have made such a significant impact on their genre as Jordan Peele’s “Get Out”. This psychological thriller, blending elements of horror, is unique in its exploration of a young Black man uncovering his white girlfriend’s family’s sinister practice of transferring white minds into Black bodies through hypnosis and neurosurgery. Released during a period when racial tension was particularly high, the film ignited numerous cultural discussions and provided a refreshed avenue for thoughtful conversations within the horror genre.
Although it doesn’t have the cultural prestige or financial success of Get Out, Hereditary is still a groundbreaking film that challenges genre boundaries. It follows a family grappling with grief as they unearth disturbing ancestral secrets, dealing with inherited trauma and supernatural influences that tear their lives apart in a chilling and heart-wrenching manner. The concept of high-quality horror combined with family trauma was not common before Hereditary. Since then, films like Speak No Evil and Run Rabbit Run have clearly been influenced by the style set forth in Hereditary.

Get Out’s Box Office Still Stands Strong Among R-Rated Horror Films
It’s Been Ousted By Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Though
In 2017, when the movie “Get Out” concluded its box office run, it had amassed an impressive $255.5 million worldwide, with $176 million earned domestically. This made it the U.S. debut film with the highest earnings from an original screenplay, a title that was previously held by “The Blair Witch Project” since 1999. Remarkably, the production cost of “Get Out” was only $4.5 million, resulting in a staggering 5.3x multiplier, meaning it made approximately $124 million in profit. However, this record as the highest-grossing film by an African-American filmmaker was short-lived; F. Gary Gray surpassed Jordan Peele with “The Fate of the Furious”. Currently, Ryan Coogler holds that record with “Black Panther”.
In a stunning turn of events, the second weekend drop of -15.4% for ‘Get Out’ set a new standard in its genre…until the film ‘Sinners’, released in April 2025, astonishingly dropped by only -6%. With an impressive $263 million earnings in the U.S., ‘Sinners’ now holds the record for the highest grossing original horror film domestically. It remains to be seen if Coogler’s film can garner the same level of recognition as ‘Get Out’, which was nominated for several prestigious awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor at the Academy Awards.
