5 Movies That Could've Been Black Mirror Episodes
2. Get Out
Get Out is a horror movie with a fresh take on the genre. It's brimming with social commentary, and has a concept that feels similar to episodes like Black Museum and Playtest. Even more fittingly, the screenplay was written by Jordan Peele, the soon-to-be host for The Twilight Zone revival. (Black Mirror's spiritual predecessor.)
There are a few quick changes that would have to be made for Get Out to fit in with the rest of the show. The hypnotism elements would need a technology-based explanation, and the consciousness transplant could be something similar to Carrie's story in Black Museum.
The one change that would take Get Out straight into Black Mirror territory, however, would be if they used the movie's original ending. (As in, the ending test audiences disliked for being too dark.) While a happy ending isn't completely unheard of in Black Mirror, ending with a realistic note of despair would be much more in line with the tone of the show.
