I feel as though Get Out does give an indication what it's about? To me, it's a very evocative title. I'm with you in the other two titles, though. They tell me nothing and could be titles for movies of any other genre.

You mean the title suggests that the movie contains a scary situation and you should get out? Unlike every other horror movie? I'm not sure that's a helpful descriptor.

It's more specific to me than that. It gives me a feeling of claustrophobia and urgency in the sense of time running out. I wouldn't expect a slasher film from this title, for example, or a supernatural horror story.

What I mean is, I wouldn't expect a slasher movie where the bad guy chases the victims around the town, for example. The feeling of claustrophobia means I would expect that most of the movie takes place in one specific and constrained location.

"Claustrophobia and urgency in the sense of time running out" still seems like a very general sort of scenario that would apply to a lot of scary movies.

I'm struggling to put into words how it's different to me. I agree that the feeling could apply to a lot of scary movies, but only those that make up a certain subset of the horror genre. Someone below brought up mood and I guess that's the closest I can get to describe it. The title brings up a certain mood for me, which is more specific than just "random scary movie".

Dunno. I think Us is such a clever title that tells the whole theme of the movie beforehand.
Also I think this short titles warn us that this movies aren't straightforward horror. So if you want to watch Hatchet Massacre or Ghosts of Spooky Manor or something you are probably not going to try watching Nope.
