Similarities to the Ira Levin cannon: movies about conspiracies; movies about evil cults kidnapping and either killing and replicating local residents; or using their body parts; or all of the above. "Rose", the female lead here; comes from Rosemary. Both Chris and Joanna Eberthart are photographers; and in both cases they take pictures of the replicants and use that to solve the mystery. There's a Roman Herd here, just like Roman Castavett in Rosemary's Baby. Both Rosemary's Baby and Get Out have to do with people moving and changing their identity; Roman Castavett in Rosemary's Baby, and Andrew Logan in Get Out. And in both cases the unmasking of the secret identity is the big reveal at the climax which helps solve the mystery. Logan breaking down at the party and shouting "Get Out!"; and then apologizing and blaming his behavior on drinking is like Carol Van Zant breaking down and babbling repetitively at the Eberhart's party in Stepford Wives; also blaming it all later on drinking. Mrs. Missy Armitage hypnotizing Chris with the coffee cup is like Mini Castavett drugging Rosemary with the spiked chocolate mousse in Rosemary's Baby. In all these movies it's the partner who is the chief culprit who is selling out their lover to the evil cult; Guy and Walter in the Ira Levin stories; Rose here. All the movies center around an evil cult which masquerades as a normal community organization. The neighbors of the Bramford Inn are satanists; the Men's Association in Stepford are misogynistic serial killers of their wives; and the Armitage's Bingo club in the Ashland Historic district are doing brain transplants and harvesting body parts from the African American residents of nearby Mobile, Atlanta. Also Missy Armitage has a prototypical feminine name just like Guy Woodhouse does in Rosemary. And the eerie African tribes chanting in Get Out somewhat recalls the cult chanting in Rosemary's Baby.
