Horror is a surprising vehicle for empathy. Few genres are able to so deftly enter the perspective of a character and pry out internal fears, subjective realities, and inner demons. What works so brutally well here is the way Peele slowly, eerily, gives passive racial/racist assumptions and cliches an uncanny physicality. For the runtime, I was seeing the world through Chris' eyes. And given the plot of the film, as a white person, this fact is absolutely terrifying in more ways than one.

Full of good directing and really good acting, and really well written. I thought it felt a little crisp and original myself. It's unsettling when it needs to be and the comic relief doesn't get in the way of how nuts and crazy the final project is. It really is just all around a really well made movie. If you haven't seen it I recommend it.

Fantastic mood-setting, buildup and escalation. The big reveals were all effective, the casting's great and it never feels like it has a slow moment or unnecessary scene. The much-needed type of horror that has something to say about society and just kicks ass or makes you cringe doing so.

Really outstanding and the type of movie you should know as little about as possible going in. I'm very impressed with the direction and how incredibly tight this script was. Honestly not one second of filler in the whole thing. Edit: On second viewing, it's even more tightly scripted than I thought. This is probably the best script of the last decade.

I liked it better than I thought I would, though it positions itself almost from the onset as a variation on "The Stepford Wives", relies on cheesy TV tropes of medicine and psychotherapy, and isn't as deep as the hype suggests. "Get out" is nevertheless excellently directed and performed, resolves itself with daring and panache, and doesn't take itself too seriously - which may be its biggest asset.

Genuinely tense, unsettling, thought-provoking, blackly comic and thoroughly enjoyable. A really fresh-feeling horror film. Peele is a director to watch, and Kaluuya knocks it out the park. Highly recommended.

What can be said about this breakout hit of 2017 that hasn't already been said? How about, "the emerald green of the lawn around the Armitage estate was almost as emerald green as the green emerald in Kathleen Turner's box office blockbuster, Romancing the Stone." That definitely hasn't been said.

Jordan Peele has worked almost exclusively in comedy up to this point in his career, but he transitions seamlessly to horror with his debut feature, Get Out, which showcases his unique voice and is one of the best horror films in recent memory. It works by letting its audience experience the various situations in the movie - many of which are filled with small, but not insignificant, moments of racism - through the eyes of a black protagonist. We get to walk in his shoes, so to speak. [Full Review]

It's a great concept for a horror movie to exploit racial identity & tension in such a satirical way. Indeed there's a lot of really good setup in the first two thirds that hits all the right nerves but it's partially let down by a final act that is neither well conceived nor over the top enough. Sadly it kinda turns into standard slasher fare that amounts to very little thematic payoff, just some mild cathartic release. Certainly a bit disappointing after the extremely promising buildup.

Amazingly well made horror flick. It succeeds in every attempt it makes and not just the jump scares and obvious eeriness. You experience the film from the perspective of a young black man, and for me a fortyish white man, that might be a movie first. Really loved Bradley Whitford but the obvious star here is Kaluuya, who I previously loved in Black Mirror. Really excited to see what else Peele can do.

Perhaps the greatest thing about "Get Out" isn't that it's a horror movie, but that it's a very dark comedy set *within* the horror movie that endemic racism makes of society. Rather than preach, Peele just gleefully feeds us drops of poisoned sweet tea until we're out of excuses for how we didn't see the monster all along. A movie that itches more than it lets you scratch.

Intense and unsettling yet thought-provoking and creative at the same time. It does falter a little for me tonally and conceptually towards the end but I was still fully invested. The Black Mirror vibes are pretty strong.

With one exceptional scene aside (when Chris goes to smoke the first cigarette), this movie falls flat and far short of its potential. It rapidly escalates into an illogical and poorly developed plot. A 'Stepford housewives' with racial tension swapped for gender differences.Host to some unbelievably cringe-worthy characters (the brother, who is merely a creep with no depth beyond that characteristic) and extremely shallow character development all around. It comes to an equally bland finish.

In his first film, Jordan Peele nails the concept of slow-burn. With such a strong concept, you'd be hard-pressed to imagine the movie being anywhere near as good as it is, but you'd be wrong. Peele is a master behind the camera, and all of the actors, especially Kaluuya nail it. Something like this, hasn't been seen for years, and honestly its reminiscent of a more culturally aware version of Rosemary's Baby. Incredible and absolutely a must-see.

An average horror flick that's slightly elevated via some decent (if simplistic) racial discussions. Peele obviously loves horror, and has empathy for women in those movies. Here he liberally borrows from the gaslighting of Rosemary's Baby and Scream's woman being unjustly punished to show how those similarities exist for African-American men. The relationship angle would've been better had the movie had any class consciousness. Still, kudos for creating a film that'll be imitated for years.

Tense, satirical and scary enough. Williams is in particular fantastic. The final 10 minutes or so don't quite match up to the rest of the film, and the rest of the film is outstanding.

Jordan Peele masterfully blends tension and suspense with genuine laughs. Skin crawling anxiety gets inside your head, and not even the gut busting laughter can fully begin to sooth it. An obvious fan of the genre, Jordan Peele wrote a fantastic horror film. Not only a sharp commentary on race, but simply a smart horror script. The story logic never had audiences yelling at the screen at stupid character decisions, but instead cheering on the main character with applause.

If the Dharma Initiative was in the hands of middle class white liberals, Jacob was a blind art dealer and everyone crashing on the Island was black. I'm obviously grasping at straws here, but I'd totally watch that show.

I feel like I'm the only person who thought this was going to be awful. Jordan Peele does not usually impress me and I thought this would devolve into generic wannabe horror with lazy, self-important "This is how black people view white people" messaging. What I got was... intense. Interesting. Mostly smart. And really, quite good. When you're dealing with this sub-genre of horror, your antagonists will usually be a little kabuki-ish, and that's true here too, but damn. Peele proved me wrong.

A great horror film. One of the real horrors is the racism hiding behind a liberal facade. I like that the film doesn't become bleak nihilism; instead, it's a fun thrill ride until the end.

Despite nearly universal glowing reviews, don't expect something completely original or utterly terrifying. What you will get is a fairly fun movie that has a couple great comedic touches while still maintaining it's horror nature. It's a competent movie with a slightly derivative plot that will remind you of several other horror movies, but just enough differences to keep you guessing along the way, and it certainly doesn't divulge too much plot too quickly, one catastrophic mistake for many.

The film introduces issues of modern racial politics in a horror context with care and nuance. It's accomplished both technically (immaculate direction and acting) and in terms of artistry (while it's accessible thanks to its unique and intriguing premise, it's also highly stylized). Its success bodes well for the future of horror film and smaller experimental movies, and it shows that there's a healthy desire for horror and action thrillers with meaningful social commentary in the mainstream.

Get Out is the most prescient movie that I have ever watched. It does so much. This is the second time I've seen it and it is one of those movies that you want to watch other people experience. Get Out is terrifying in so many ways but the most terrifying moments have less to do with the horror/thriller moments in the movie and more with who we are as Americans. I've never seen a movie with so much bite that is also entertaining as hell to watch. The acting is fantastic and the directing too.

An upper-middle class white family is brutally murdered after a home-invasion gone wrong. Get Out is the tale from the African-American intruder's perspective. The film is shot like a comedy incorporating horror tropes, but delivers neither laughs nor scares. Instead, this film cleverly portrays discrimination in a post-tolerant world. The plot is similar to The Stepford Wives while the tone is closer to Hot Fuzz, but the film stands on its own as an engaging, enjoyable ride.

One of the most totally engaging films I've see in a while. Its seamless transitions from suspense, to comedy, to horror thrills and back enhance its brilliant subversions. Horror can produce such original films when the thrills are coming from a place of inspiration, and this movie fulfills that potential with a clever purpose.

This doesn't provide new national introspection when it comes to America's troubled race relations. What makes it quite unique is how it cleverly weaves multiple race topics as a very well executed genre film. There are creepy character interactions throughout which analyze issues like white entitlement over the minority mind and body, interracial dating, stereotypes, and paranoid assumptions. It never gets preachy and goes all out in its overarching theme about racial trust and betrayal.

Sooo... do we talk about how this is basicly The Skeleton Key with the races reversed? No? Okay. Anywhoo, Get Out was a delight. The dark sense of humor and sledgehammer satire that runs through it elevates it above the usual thriller/horror gunk, as do the uniformly wonderful performances. There's a bunch of plotholes and contrivances but the movie is too much fun for it to matter much,

Not as much of a horror film as I was led to believe, still intensely interesting throughout with the smart concept played just about as far as it could possibly go. I was rather underwhelmed as the third act played and thought it felt quite a bit rushed.

Over-hyped due 2 core message that was bound 2 be popular with professional media / too risky 2 honestly critique rather than just gush over. That said, I DONT disagree with point it is (perhaps overly heavy-handed in) making. I know US Hist & Pol well & there IS still a long way 2 go. Also, as Director's 1st film, it is impressive, tho not flawless; eg. ending feels rushed. 4* V impressive debut - Yes. But 5* Oscar material - Sorry, I don't see it. It IS good just not AS good as being said

Impressive work from Peele, who has crafted a film full of incisive satire, taut suspense, and imaginative, bone-chilling horror drawn from upper-class white banality. Though it delves into uncomfortable racial topics, it remains riveting and watchable, with dire material leavened by humor and surprising twists.

Sometimes Peele's inexperience with directing is clear, and the TSA agent subplot was a little too overtly comedic and unnecessary sometimes, but otherwise holy HELL what a sharp, disturbing movie. The racial themes are portrayed intelligently, and with slightly more subtlety than you would expect, while the dialogue rings true. Cast are perfect for their roles, and there are some remarkable visuals. The amount of little details you only catch in hindsight makes it even better.

Offers some great thrills and jokes, but it fails to elevate itself above its incredibly relevant premise with a very shaky and predictable ending. That being said, this movie will be memorable for what it does right, which is provide some well-delivered satire on the many permutations of racism ranging from micro-aggressions to a full-blown physical/mental colonization of being by white oppressors. Peele really cemented a foundation for a good trajectory here and I'm excited for what's next.

I now live in a world where "I'm T-S-Motherfucking-A" is a line in an Oscar winning screenplay. Did I miss something? Was there a racial commentary or a good script here? That's all I keep hearing about. Instead I got a decently directed horror movie with a super obvious plot with super obvious twists and super nonsensical resolutions. I loved the scene they didn't show him kill Catherine Keener because fuck good editing. At least it wasn't made by Key.

We are living in exciting times, ladies and gentlemen, the horror genre truly is resurging! In this alternate universe where Windows phones and Infinity cars are the bomb, a film written and directed by Jordan Peele is actually pretty great! Joke aside, Get Out is inventive, funny, well cast, well shot and well written. Another fresh take on the genre and a wonderful watch from start to finish. /c Prince Charles Cinema

As horror, it's not really an horror. It's first and foremost a satirical movie. Funny to watch, really, but very plain as social commentary. Basically it's saying: "nigga, the liberals want to fuck us too, they want you as part of their dreamland world only if you ain't a real nigga anymore. Like Obama. Don't trust the whites". Ok, funny, there is a part of truth in that, but it feels more like a stand-up routine than an idea for a movie. An horror movie, even.

Waltzes masterfully between uncomfortable social comedy and true thriller territory. Dives into well used horror-movie tropes just as the awkward anxiety reaches an unbearable peak, allowing it to succeed both as a social commentary and a horror movie in its own right.

This might be the first year when Daniel Day-Lewis didn't have the best performance of anyone named Daniel. Great acting all around, especially from Daniel Kaluuya & Catherine Keener. I was on the edge of my seat the entire last hour of the movie because, holy crap, the tension was insane. I love the amount of humor that's worked into this, without ever taking away from the suspense and fear. The script, the cinematography, the directing, the score, the themes... everything just came together.

Amazingly intricate horror thriller. I felt uneasy the entire time watching. Jordan Peele is able to tell a famialr story that hits on a lot of horror beats and cliches, but tell them with a focus on racial issues, which makes these beats and cliches feel fresh. Peele uses his humor timing to great affect by using the same timing with scares. Everything comes backs to be important to the story, which is amazing. Only problem is the grilfriend's acting was sometimes hit or miss

Brilliant movie feels like this
could possibly happen It's very deceptive At first I’m
just thinking these are weird
cultural clashes that
sometimes happen when meeting someone’s family But as the movie goes on it just
continues to get weirder
Favorite scene when mom hypnotizes him
and I’m thinking no way Than you realize she really did hypnotize him
It's a totally mind blowing
moment
But in the best possible way

W4E2P2S1V1M1A2R2. If La La Land was the musical for the mainstream, this was the horror film for the mainstream. So all the knocks on it lacking enough true horror are missing that the judicious use of jump scares and gore makes it more accessible to folks who would normally never go near a Saw movie. I don't know if it was as clever as everyone says, but it was at least very tactful and broadly resonant.

One of those films that takes an established concept and does it really well with a slight twist. The racial subtext gives a lot of opportunities for cheap payoffs but they are mostly skipped in favor of building up to more creative ones. Early scenes interacting with the family are (intentionally) pretty awkward to watch which kind of turned me off but the script manages very well from there. Definitely worth a watch, even for those who don't usually enjoy horror.

I don't often watch horror films but when I do they tend to be fairly good and not so scary. And oh boy such acting! Of course they went over the top with crocodile tears but whatever. I feel genuine satisfaction on many levels after watching this one. Thanks Bill Gates and what is your company again? for sponsoring this one! Ps: too bad Chris will get convicted for mass murder.

Yes, this is a horror film directed by a comedian, but despite its comic moments if you had no idea who Jordan Peele was, you wouldn't be able to tell. There's no "monsters" here, but the atmosphere is done well. It doesn't overstay its welcome and has some great comedic relief. The endgame of the family isn't conveyed as well as could be, but IMO it doesn't take away too much from the film. Here's to wishing Peele takes on other genres.

Difficult to seperate out the elements of GO that make it such a success, but Peele has produced a real classic: the steady pacing of the first two acts create a slow but incessant racheting of tension; the superb character development, the use of humour that doesn't dominate (but just 'part of life'), and a view of "racism" from both 'white' and 'black' which is an eye opener. The last third could have decended into slasher flick territory, but for a superb twist and a really satisfying end

The type of socially conscious horror I thought was dead. A film that derives its power from the endless news cycle of death and bigotry. The protege of Up Tight and Spook Who Sat by the Door and that whole wave of late-60s Black Power thrillers.

Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) goes with his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) to visit her parents at their rural home. But he's black and they're white, and his unease about the situation is soon validated. Tips its hand a bit too early, and suffers from an uncertain tone in the first half, but settles down in the second half to become a superbly nerve-wracking - and quite funny - allegory for modern race relations. Jordan Peele makes a very promising directorial debut; the cast is overall solid.

Of course the initial 100% on rotten tomatoes is a tough expectation to live up to, and for a horror buff, it wasn't entirely a horror film even. The few horror scenes that are here are phenomenal, the racial tension is done well, and it's not too slow at all. Of course it has flaws, the twists aren't hard to predict or anything special, the horror aspect (IMO) should have been a bit more prominent and the slight comedy didn't blend well. Still well written and executed.

While it does play on the horror trope of someone visiting a place and things go wrong, it is surprisingly unique. This actually isn't a horror movie and more of a suspense film. Peele made a really weird and creepy atmosphere, but did so through human interactions and not so much jump scares or other cliche horror tendencies. It has its own tick and it's something that sets its self apart from other movies. Overall, aside from a few pacing issues, this movie is really good, props to Peele.

Remove the scene where the friend talks to the officers and the flashbacks, as both interrupt the emotional flow of the third act.

A clever, tightly-scripted & perfectly executed racial variation (&improvement) of the Stepford Wives. Of course the mostly white liberal media's profuse outpouring of love for the film's illustrations of the ways well-meaning white liberals who overcompensate also make blacks miserable is no small irony. While "checking your privilege" demands whites should always be mindful of how much better they have it & view blacks differently, apparently they should also simultaneously just be themselves.

While the left waste their time attacking strawmen (i.e 'racist' conservatives), Peele recognises a far more insidious threat lurking beneath a facade of tolerance and civility: bourgeois liberals who claim to be equalists but hold patronising views about race that go unexamined. Peele obviously borrows some ideas from Seconds and Body Snatchers, which was mostly missed by critics gushing in overappraisal, but it's a confident debut that deftly uses genre as a vehicle for social criticism.

As much as I wanted to love it, I couldn't help but think it was much sillier than it needed to be. Instead of making a truly terrifying and crazy movie with its concept, it settles for b-movie fun. That's all well and good, but for some reason I wanted more. As a thriller it isn't that satisfying because the reveal is painfully obvious to anyone with even the slightest bit of foresight, and the satire, while good, is pretty straightforward.

Get Out plays like an extended episode of Black Mirror, a show renowned for it's biting social satire and a show in which Daniel Kaluuya also played the lead in an episode called Fifteen Million Merits. Get Out is a horror mystery with comedic moments which are just on the funny side of sinister. The phrase "many a true word said in jest" came to mind more than once while watching it.

The not-so-subtle context, the intense delivery and it will keep you engaged until the very end; guessing what is really going on. Perhaps not a "horror" movie in the traditional sense, but boy is it unnerving. It really does teeter on the edge of realism, that it gets a little too creepy and the performances add to this. It's a well-made film, that will entertain you.

Get Out is a suspenseful, unsettling, and substantially frightening affair which rivals or surpasses the best horror films made in recent years. Get Out gets an extra leg up, however, by its obvious commentary regarding race relations, which is not shoehorned into the plot, but instead an important part of it. I don't think many of the best horror films in the last decade have had anything quite as important to say as Get Out.

Starts off a bit slow, but once stuff starts getting really weird, the entire movie starts to shift and reveal itself to be a horror masterpiece that is sparse with comedic elements, but a horror film up and foremost.

I'll cop to not being interested in the genre of horror as a whole, so it's notable that I would say this about this movie. Get Out is *good* - it is not great. Maybe that's because of the limitations of the genre, which is does not transcend, but does not feel confined to. Definitely see it, but don't expect to be amazed by anything save the fact that it's a straight horror movie that doesn't suck.

There's this old b-movie called something along the lines of "The Thing With Two Heads".

This is basically the grim-dark remake of that.

A fresh and feisty black comedy which has its own voice but also borrows pretty heavily from previous films in terms of its theme and subject matter. Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and The Stepford Wives being two of the films it most blatantly copies. There are some very funny moments but I would have preferred to see a more original direction, instead of a descent into stereotypical genre wackiness. Enjoyed the casting, dialogue and technical elements of the film more than its story.

Tends more towards the "comedy" side of horror-comedy than I might have preferred, but it's a unique concept handled with panache and style, with a less obvious, and more nuanced, take on racism than you might assume at first glance. Who knew Peele was such a strong director?

B-movie fun mixed with pertinent social themes makes for a film that manages to be both funny and disturbing all at once.

Sometimes I think this movie is a little oversold in it's greatness. Then I think about individual elements of the film & I remember that it actually is really good. It's a horror movie & a satire. With those two genres there are going to be things to nitpick because things may be heightened or not realistic. That being said, Jordan Peele is clearly a really thoughtful filmmaker. The actors are also great. The hypnosis scene between Daniel Kaluuya & Catherine Keener is really something else

A bold, assured directorial debut for Jordan Peele, GET OUT is one of the most impeccably designed and executed horror films in years. Using the vernacular of suspense thrillers, it posits a timely and timeless statement on the terrifying razor's edge that people of color are forced to walk in regards to identity, agency, and freedom. It is the rare film that can be appreciated on its surface level--a stinging potboiler with great performances--while inviting and rewarding deeper contemplation.

A seriously impressive debut from Peele. He really nails those scary, suspenseful scenes. It's definitely not straight-up horror though. And sometimes I wished it was. There's a sort of twist that comes in near the end that I didn't really like. It didn't make much sense to me, and felt ultimately unnecessary. The performances were all good, especially Kaluuya. My expectations were probably a little too high because of all the hype on it, but yeah, very solid, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Peele, arguably more than any other living filmmaker, understands how to make a political statement in a post-truth era. Taking messages rooted in subtle everyday interactions and extrapolating them until they can't be ignored. There's also something to be said about white liberal critics praising this when they're the target of its satire.

Overall very competent especially the art direction and atmosphere. Not only a good representation of a horror comedy, but it also handles it's more socially focused themes with ease. The reason I can't give this full marks is the screenplay. As good as it is, every once in awhile there are still bits of dialogue or just certain decisions that are tinged with a bit of cliche.These moments serve as a reminder to the audience that this is still very much Peele's first film.

Peele's debut as a director offers everything you can ask for packed into a 103 minute runtime. Damn this was a fun film. It had the perfect elememts of horror, satire and comedy to blend characters together that definitely added to the tension. Daniel Kaluuya, Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener carried the brunt of the acting front and the vibes were eerie right from the beginning all the way until the final twist. A definite must see. One of the best horror films ever.

A wonderful horror/thriller involving modern issues that movies rarely seem to talk about. The acting was superb, especially by Kaluuya and Whitford. The humor was mostly welcome but did feel out of place a time or two. Would probably be a very rewarding rewatch as you can point out extra tells by dialogue and action that is foreshadowing that you missed the first time through. I am very happy Jordan Peele's directorial debut was a success and look forward to his upcoming works.

"Get Out" feels innovative and is genuinely thrilling, which is more than could be said for any other horror/thriller I've seen recently. It wears its influences on its sleeve but never manages to capture the subtle menace of films like "Rosemary's Baby" or "Funny Games". It tends to be heavy handed, but what its missing in nuance it makes up for in message. Peele's energetic debut looks to be a sign for a unique and exciting career ahead.

A hugely overrated horror flick that benefits from very good acting, but sports one-dimensional characters, a racial red line that does nothing but annoy and confirm racism within the Afro-American community, a plot twist that's never a twist, and an easy escape. What is all the fuss about, people?

This was .. not what I expected going in. A lot funnier in places than I expected. Ratcheted up the tension nicely, although perhaps a little clunkily in some places. Superb acting throughout from Daniel Kaluuya. Brilliantly creepy moments from the other black cast members (I want to know if that single tear shed by Betty Gabriel was real). Satisfying ending. If horror movies are a snapshot reflection of society's current issues then this doesn't paint us in a particularly good light.

Saw the main actor of this movie on the tv show Black Mirror, I knew he was going to be something big from that episode alone. This movie solidifies that thought. he definitely has great range and charisma, can't wait to see more from him. Jordan Peele made such a great mixture of comedy, suspense and horror with this film, for a first time director, this is an amazing start. I already loved Key and Peele, now it seems they're just giving me more reasons to continue doing the same.

Great debut from director Jordan Peele. This is definitely up there with recent quality horror films like It Follows & The Witch, but I felt that it didn't quite reach that level. I applaud it for boldly tackling sensitive racial issues, perhaps more so than any recent dramas, but I felt that it lost quite a lot of steam within the last 30 mins which more or less followed the usual horror cliches. Also the scenes with LilRel Howery were too flat out comedic and took me out of the main story.

A showcase for how horror, especially when it's built on a firm grasp of the tricks and drumrolls of suspense, like the one Peele demonstrates here, can work on multiple levels. The film's horror-flick and racial-critique aspects are both done so well they become difficult to tell apart. Which also means that the bravery of the theme somewhat compensates when the plot occasionally takes a turn for the clunky.

Though it sometimes becomes a bit too artsy for my taste, it features spectacular performances from Kaluuya & Williams, as well as the strong supporting cast. Packed with humor, horror, suspense & smart commentary, it's also a highly unique & fresh concept- something that's increasingly rare to find- & that combined with everything else makes it a must-watch.

Massively overrated due to its subject matter, regardless of execution. The build up here actually works really well. Horror through the lens of race is an interesting idea that I haven't seen done before but it falls apart once the villains' plan is revealed, which is both ridiculous enough to take me out of the story and doesn't quite work as a metaphor. Tone is inconsistent too - the scenes with the TSA guy felt like something from a broad comedy and it was jarring whenever it cut to them.

Not very funny or scary for a horror-comedy (especially with a few scattered unimpressive stock jump-scares), but it's still an effective film because it has a terrific concept that it makes the most out of, leading the audience through its intricacies until it leads us to an appropriately messed-up resolution. Loads of fun and I wouldn't edit a second out of it, and some very strong acting (helped by good ol' close-ups) really set the amusing mood.

For me films (or art in general) based around race is lowest common denominator stuff, it's very easy to think you want to make a film & then look as far as skin colour when you design a plot. Get Out is smart enough to saturate us in that kind of thinking to highlight the absurdity of the discussion. But really, who is the discussion with? We all know art won't change peoples minds, worse, despite the veil of comedy, do 'awareness' pieces inadvertently perpetuate the concept of division? idk.

I probably had too high expectations, but I was actually quite dissapointed with this. It quickly became clear that our protagonist was in over his head. The first scene also wasn't aligned with the rest of the movie. I did however like the performances especially from Kaluuya. He was excellent in this and totally saved this otherwise bland thriller. *Okay

Not quite as good as the hype suggests. The overly helpful flashbacks seemed an obvious mis-step, as did not finishing the film with Chris' sinking feeling as the red and blue lights wash over his face. Indeed, the entire climax possibly felt a bit conventional. Whether ostensibly liberal white people who potentially indulge in regressive stereotypes are a problem deserving of being called out or skewered, I also have my doubts.

A little too rushed and uneven towards the end, although I get why it was so hurried up (no talk, just action), but Get Out really works great in the sense it plays with horror conventions by bringing them to a satire of racism -- suburbs not as target, but threat, black bodies being dismantled as vessels to mantain white supremacy, it's-like-they-are-family taken to an extreme, some funny bits in the way Peele stages reaction shots, best comic relief in horror cinema in a long time.

I'm not a Peele fan, but he took something that could have just been silly and made it compelling. The best part is the build, which lasts most of the movie, because it throws in a little comedy but is ultimately intense and creepy, without relying on jump scares. The last act didn't do it for me as much, and sometimes the script lacked polish as a whole, but it did end with a great line. Well acted, good atmosphere, strong directorial sense... not a masterpiece but damn good, almost an 85.

The political analogies are much more interesting than what's actually happening on the screen, though it's formally fun in that first-time-director way. I loved how audacious it is in using racially loaded imagery in service of an ostensible horror movie, but my problem was that I accidentally figured out pretty much the whole plot at the end of the first act, so spent the last hour of the movie waiting for various shoes to drop. And drop they did. Kinda sucked some of the fun out of it.

This was much funnier than I was expecting. I also appreciate how much you can see the lessons of 80s and 90s sci fi and horror movies. Its not that his films are a pastiche of them but in both of his films he didn't allow the lack of a plausible "realistic" explanation get in the way of the premise of the story he was trying to tell. There was a turn some time around the early 00s where for some reason directors became obsessed with explaining everything often to the detriment of the film.

In a word: good. In more words: an updated The Stepford Wives meets Being John Malkovich with a modern racial twist in place of social caste plot line. It's repackaged effectively by Peele and I'm keen to see what else he's got to throw into the thriller/horror genre.

*spoilers* Racially charged drama sets up its pieces incredibly well -- creating an uneasy, high-tension scenario where nothing feels quite... right, while still exploring many salient and timely hot-button issues dealing with race, and liberal attitudes vs practices. After such an intriguing set-up, it's a shame the film becomes a standard slasher horror film in its final act and leads to a middling conclusion. Superb performances all round, with Gabriel an unforgettably creepy stand-out.

How this film ever got nominated and won at the oscars is purely political in my view. As a film it very unoriginal with basically the exact same plot and twist as seen in SK. So for me it was basically just old in new packing. However this is not a bad movie but not worth the watch if you've seen SK.

Get Out handles everything in the perfect way. It has an old-school horror feel thanks to Jordan Peele's direction that thrills in a more genuine way than other films in the genre do. It also handles the tricky topic of racism in a cutting yet thought-provoking way that cannot be ignored by anybody especially those who would not peg themselves as prejudiced. This is one of the best-made horror films of the past decade and also one of the most effective treatises on racism in our world toda

Racial horror! Or racial satire, as every little thing in this movie had some relevance to racial insecurities. Funny in a lot of ways, but could also be a bit too much of a good thing. At least it brought something fresh to the horror genre, putting the black man's clichés together with the horror clichés the way it did. Not a bad job at all by Jordan Peele in his directorial debut.

Whitesploitation parody. Couple great and genuinely haunting performances. But the plot reveal felt like something straight out of a stoner-movie. I understand if it wanted to address classism. But the message was that whites and asians want to harvest blacks because… because what? They are under-privileged and no-one would be missing them? But that’s clearly not the case. All the black people portrayed were middle or upper middle class. What was the point?
