Blumhouse Soliciting Testimony from Anyone Who Feels ‘Personally Victimized’ by One of Its Movies or TV Shows

Variety ·

Blumhouse has launched a tongue-in-cheek campaign inviting people who feel “personally victimized” by one of its horror films or series to submit complaints. The mock legal advert promotes Season 2 of *The Rainmaker* and jokes that viewers “may be entitled to compensation”, while making clear that no lawsuit or legal claims are real.

Submissions are being collected at a campaign website and will be shared on Blumhouse’s social accounts. The advert launched on Friday across the studio’s social channels and newsletter; marketing chief Karen Barragan said it was designed to connect the legal thriller with Blumhouse’s existing fans and reach new viewers. Season 2 is under way on USA Network, with the series also streaming on Prime Video, where it ranked ninth among all US content on Friday.

In short

  • Blumhouse is jokingly inviting complaints about viewers being scared by its shows and films.
  • No real lawsuit or compensation claims are involved.
  • The campaign promotes Season 2 of *The Rainmaker*.
