“Why Blumhouse Was a Perfect Match for Nahnatchka Khan and ‘Totally Killer’

In the world of filmmaking, some collaborations are destined to be iconic, and Nahnatchka Khan’s partnership with Blumhouse for the upcoming horror film ‘Totally Killer’ is one such match made in cinematic heaven. Khan, the creative genius behind acclaimed TV shows like ‘Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,’ ‘Fresh Off the Boat,’ and ‘Young Rock,’ knows how to weave a compelling on-screen narrative. Her directorial debut in the Netflix film ‘Always Be My Maybe’ in 2019 showcased her prowess in storytelling. Now, she’s venturing back into the world of filmmaking with ‘Totally Killer,’ and her choice of collaborator, Blumhouse Television, speaks volumes about the project’s potential.

Khan’s decision to team up with Blumhouse was influenced by more than just industry reputation; it was a meeting of minds driven by a shared passion for cinema. Speaking about her decision, Khan gushed, “I think Blumhouse and everybody who works there, the great thing about them is they make movies. They love movies, and they make movies.” Unlike some production companies that may feel compelled to produce films, Blumhouse exudes a genuine enthusiasm for the art of filmmaking. They are always ready to dive into the creative process with an unbridled zeal.

The chemistry between Khan and Blumhouse was evident from their very first meeting. Khan recalled, “I walked away from their conversation thinking, ‘Oh, these people are down to play and have a good time and make something cool.'” This initial spark grew into a blazing fire of collaboration as Khan delved deeper into the project with Blumhouse by her side. Their unwavering support and dedication left a lasting impression on Khan. She revealed, “They were just so supportive. We have this big set piece in Act Three with this Gravitron, and we had to go find a Gravitron in Canada and shoot that practically, and they were down.” Their commitment to the creative process knew no bounds, even extending to international shoots. Khan emphasized, “They were down for all of it. They were like, ‘We get it. This is it.’ So, they’re very supportive that way because they like to make movies.”

Founded by Jason Blum, Blumhouse Productions has been a dominant force in the film industry for over two decades. Specializing in the horror genre, they’ve lent their support to iconic franchises like ‘Paranormal Activity’ and ‘Insidious,’ along with standouts like ‘Hush’ and the ‘Halloween’ series. Yet, they’re not confined to horror alone, having ventured into drama with films like ‘Whiplash’ and ‘BlacKkKlansman.’ In addition to ‘Totally Killer,’ Blumhouse is set to thrill audiences with two more spine-chilling releases just in time for Halloween: ‘The Exorcist: Believer’ and ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s.’

So, mark your calendars for October 6th when ‘Totally Killer’ hits Amazon Prime Video. With Nahnatchka Khan’s storytelling brilliance and Blumhouse’s passion for filmmaking, this collaboration promises to be a match made in cinematic heaven that will leave audiences eagerly awaiting more spine-tingling experiences.”
