Get Out

I wish more horror films were as relevant and smart as Get Out. The movie feeds off a paranoia that the majority of the United States population doesn’t experience on a regular basis. Fake smiles and awkward handling of racially chargedI wish more horror films were as relevant and smart as Get Out. The movie feeds off a paranoia that the majority of the United States population doesn’t experience on a regular basis. Fake smiles and awkward handling of racially charged conversations are masterfully put on display in the first half of the movie. The cracks in the white facade intensify at a steady pace. Uncomfortable questions or points start popping up in the viewer's mind. What is up with the eclectic decor (explicitly called out)? Why are all the black “caretakers” acting “white” on the property? Are we, as white people, really this ignorant? In short, you start to feel an entire system is out to get our protagonist. Admittedly, an early scene explicitly sets the stage up. Mainstream horror films play it safe with the usual jump scares and gory imagery. To be sure, Get Out sports a fair amount of both elements. At some point, all too shockingly familiar racism starts to out scare the traditional horror cliches. Unfortunately, several dumb horror tropes also make an appearance. For example, you have that one horror scene where you have an odd figure chopping wood. The others tropes I could list involve spoilers. The acting is consistently top notch from all involved. I only have one minor quip with the casting choice of a peripheral character. The character certainly sticks out when you notice him and the inclusion is somewhat puzzling. Overall, the subject matter more than makes up for Get Out's very minor shortcomings. How often do movies aimed at a mainstream audience have the audacity to call out whites in America? The timing of the film’s release is sadly impeccable. Racism is alive and well in our country. America "smiled" when she elected Trump as POTUS. I congratulate Jordan Peele for his impressive foray into directing. The film is dense and I certainly missed a few points on my first viewing.… Expand

A very dark and funny film that speaks about racism in a very creative way. This movie has a very interesting story that Jordan Peele did an outstanding job directing. This will become a horror classic.

One of the best, most original movies I've seen in years. Thrilling, creepy, hilarious--not necessarily in that order. I'll be thinking about this movie for days, so many many intricate layers.

The only issue I have is that aside from Chris and Mr. TSA the characters are pretty thin. All in all a great commentary and a great movie.

Clever, funny, smart, scary, gross, thought provoking, sickening, saddening, and in your face. Get Out made me leave the theater exhilarated as a fan of film, and quite depressed about certain things that really matter. I can't recommend it enough.

The very best horror films exploit the anxieties of an era, becoming emblematic of their time, and Peele's sharp and oftentimes hilarious take on the complexities of black and white experiences against the backdrop of a classic cabin-in-the-woods setup is sure to become an instant classic. The pacing is careful, the soundtrack is excellent, and whilst there is some minimal gore, this is not a blood soaked slash fest, and the majority of the film is played as a tense and captivating thriller. 8.69/10… Expand

Jordan Peele's first outing as a writer (co-writer, actually) on a major Hollywood production brought us the 2016 action-comedy "Keanu", a movie that was much better than it had any right to be given its absurd premise. Now, not only writingJordan Peele's first outing as a writer (co-writer, actually) on a major Hollywood production brought us the 2016 action-comedy "Keanu", a movie that was much better than it had any right to be given its absurd premise. Now, not only writing solo, Peele finds himself in the director's chair with "Get Out", a film that hundreds or even thousands of aspiring directors and screenwriters would kill to have as their first. Promised a race-savvy mix of comedy and horror going in, I can say first-hand that this movie does not disappoint. Peele has truly achieved something great here.

For those of you who haven't seen the trailers or have no friends who have gone to see it already (I would recommend moving out from under the rock beneath which you reside, in either circumstance), allow me to bring you up to speed with the rest of the viewing world. Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) is preparing for the milestone of all milestones in dating: meeting the parents of his girlfriend Rose Armitage (Allison Williams), Missy and Dean (Catherine Keener and Bradley Whitford, respectively). Now, this would be stressful enough as is, but the fact that Chris is black and Rose is white makes things even worse in the mind of the former. She implores him not to worry--Dean would have voted for Obama a third time if he could have, Chris (and the audience) are informed--but once they arrive, things take a turn away from the usual nervous, eager-to-impress overreactions into situations that are increasingly absurd and disturbing in equal measure. The growth in the number of older white people interested in him (Stephen Root), the strange behavior of the only other black people on the property (Betty Gabriel, Marcus Henderson, LaKeith Stanfield), and a seeming universally mutual desire to keep him cut off from his friends in the outside world (Lil Rey Howery) all lead Chris to believe that he has been brought to the Armitages' remote lake house for different purposes entirely (I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that yes, he has).

This could easily have been another forgettable, run-of-the-mill horror thriller that pits blacks against whites in the name of some cheap thrills and big box office returns. Luckily for Peele, he demonstrates immense skill as a writer, employing a sort of "less is more" strategy and simply putting together the pieces that he has assembled into a structure that audiences will understand as it is but contains other, more subtle ideas and meanings for them to discover with the use of a little brainpower. He's also careful not to give away too much too fast (as many others in the genre often do), and as the film first creeps and then full-on sprints towards its unbelievable conclusion, a twist better than any seen in horror in the last two decades--better even than the one in "Don't Breathe", or the hokey but effective 'the killer was the corpse in the bathroom' bit from "Saw"--is likely to have you on the edge of your seat, scared out of your wits but practically begging for more. Additionally, Peele works the horror-comedy angle effectively to provide much-needed comic relief when things start getting too serious, and the pitch-black humor thrown into some scenes (one that comes to mind is a time towards the beginning when, after learning of a car accident Chris and Rose were in because of a deer, Dean comments that he wants to "kill them all" because there are "just too many of them", unsettling his daughter's boyfriend) makes them all the sweeter for their unmatchable comic timing perfected on "Key and Peele". Perhaps best of all is--and hold on to your hats for this one, people--there is some real depth and complexity of character here beyond what is immediately obvious (*chorus of shocked gasps*). The white people in the film are not socially backwards, ultra-violent neo-Nazis. They are upper-middle class liberals, and they do what they do not because they hate blacks but, in a bit of a surprise reversal, because they adore them. As one character puts it, "Black is in style."

It's great to me that Peele had such an amazing collection of talent, both in front of the camera and behind it, working to help his vision become what it was truly meant to be. The score by Michael Abels in particular stands out to me for its successful return of abrupt, screeching violin to horror movie soundtracks for the purposes of suspense creation (I could've sworn I was watching a John Carpenter film), and classic songs like "Run Rabbit Run" are used to hilariously frightening effect. Kaluuya is likable and even fascinating in some bits as the protagonist, Whitford is so friendly and charming as Dean that you hope and pray he doesn't turn out evil, and while I can't say too much without some major spoilers, Williams is effective in unexpected ways as Rose. The end result is utterly immaculate, and deservedly so.

I have only two things left to say. "Bravo!" is one. "More, please!" is the other. 10/10… Expand

Oh yeah: a horror movie that is actually good. A rare bird, this, no? You could predict the quality – or at least freshness – from the trailers but nothing will quite prepare you for this joyride which is a contender for the best horror movieOh yeah: a horror movie that is actually good. A rare bird, this, no? You could predict the quality – or at least freshness – from the trailers but nothing will quite prepare you for this joyride which is a contender for the best horror movie of recent times, and crafty enough to satisfy also those who don’t really care about horror movies. Such as me.

Brother (Daniel Kaluuya) dating a white girl (Allison Williams) is dragged to her family estate for the weekend. But something is off from the very start of the journey, and it gets stranger by the minute. There’s a variety of cool cats in smaller supporting roles and you will probably not know them by name, but I will list them anyway: Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener as the mother and father, Caleb Landry Jones as the brother, Betty Gabriel as the house maid, LilRel Howery as one of the funniest cases of black guy acting like Hollywood comedy black guy I can remember. IMDb claims he is a rising stand-up comedy star, and he’s surely an instant crowd-pleaser here. You will love every precious minute the guy gets to grace the screen.

But back to the movie at hand. „Get Out“ is an effective horror piece but director-screenwriter Jordan Peele’s ambitions are decidedly wider than that, and he can meet the high standards that he has set. If I have to to summarize his biggest accomplishment, then I would say that Peele proves to be a master storyteller. There’s a surprising diversity and depth to material. It can be followed as social commentary (what it’s like to be different; how covertly racist the modern society can be), classic horror story (adventurer braving the lands unknown) and a crafty cat-and-mouse thriller where the joy of watching rises from following how every "chess piece" is moved and how the others react.

In addition, there’s an unexpected comic relief going on, mainly acted out by LilRey Howrey as mentioned above. And last but not least, the movie makers have really taken their time with the characters and the setting to build an natural, convincing atmosphere which can stand on its own and doesn’t have to rely on cheap horror tactics as sudden horrifying noises and movements. Peele actually uses some of those too, but in a way that doesn’t feel exploitative; these help to strenghten the oppressive atmosphere and further show how the main character feels.

If I may nitpick a little, the central hero deserves to have some more individuality because he mostly gets to react to awkward and/or unpleasant situations like in black version of „Curb Your Enthusiasm“ or something. This one-note-performance by Kaluuya honestly gets a bit monotone before the action-filled final act.

But all in all, the chosen approach is understandable because „Get Out“ is only 103 minutes long and has a lot happening. And to credit the cast one more time, everybody’s offering a top-quality work, even the people in smallest roles. Considering how much their faces are shown up-close, it’s no mean feat. I’d even call it one of the most memorable ensemble movies of recent times.

There are also some pacing issues, mostly during the end which would be more hard-hitting if played out faster, especially as some major turns are not that hard to figure out by the middle. Of course, that would require attentive watching and not checking your phone all the time, as many youngsters do these days. Also, horror fans would probably like to see more gore but this is not a problem in itself. So the movie’s not near perfect but what is, eh?

„Get Out“ is that rare kind of horror movie that really deserves some major-ass awards or nominations. Maybe Oscar noms for original screenplay, directing, and several possible picks from supporting cast (Betty Gabriel, Bradley Whitford, LilRel Howery if I can pick three). If you liked this little gem that deserves to be called born classic, then you will be pleased to know that it’s been already popular in cinemas. It only cost 4.5 million USD and has already brought 113 mil from the U.S. box office alone.

"Get Out" is the best movie of 2017 I’ve seen yet. And I have seen ten! Get off your ass and run towards the cinemas!… Expand

If you think This movie is about race baiting, racesploitation, then you fell victim to the true meaning behind the film. Basically **** happens in this movie, and it's **** up, as it is in EVERY Horror/Thriller. Texas Chainsaw, Hostel, etc. **** up **** happens in those movies, and some **** up **** happens in this movie. The MAIN point of this movie is this: At the end, when he calls 911... You know it won't help him, and when the emergency lights show up... Unlike EVERY movie where this means the protagonist(s) is/are safe... it doesn't mean the protagonist in this movie is safe, it means he is screwed... Think about that... As the viewer, you think "Ohh **** the cops showed up! He's ****" That's not the way people think in most movies, we think "YAY! The protagonist is safe!"... Not in this, and that's our OWN rationale reaching for that conclusion. Also, The underlining motivations behind the evil characters is NOT racist. We assume it is, and that's on us. SPOILER!

When the daughter says "grandma" and "Get him Grandpa" That shows they CHOSE the bodies they liked the most, and race didn't play a part. We assumed they "enslaved" the nanny, and the grounds keeper, but they are not. The whole point of this movie was to provide cheap thrills, as any movie in this class does, AND to demonstrate how people see race as motivations behind things. WE see it, my friends who are Black/Asian/First Nations/White saw racism when there wasn't any, and then WE saw the Whole Black-lives matter movement summed up at the end where the cops don't necessarily mean he's safe...

**** Brilliant.… Expand

Every scene can be viewed through a lens of either horror or comedy and it works; this is truly exceptional. A great reactionary performance from Daniel Kaluuya, full of responsive eye twitches and half-smirks that speak volumes.

The social satire cuts deep, especially in its revelation of a white liberal racism outside the stereotypical redneck variety, but the film relents a bit in the final act. Same goes for the horror elements; the finale is a bit of a stretch (even if it is fittingly cathartic) and the movie doesn't reach for the extreme hard enough to justify its more out-there elements (Behold the Coagula). It kind of falls awkwardly in the middle; a half measure.… Expand

The perfect mix of mind-boggling fear and dark humor. On Peele's first major directorial outing, he nails it. Kaluuya, Williams, and Howery stand out next to Whitford and Keener's performances.

Get Out

How often do we encounter actors speaking through their eyes? Daniel Kaluuya is riveting in his scared-to-death sequences (especially the first time when Catherine Keener hypnotizes him) and what really gets you here is that, so is the audience. Get Out is of course Jordan Peele's show in every frame but it is more of the Jordan-the director and not Jordan-the writer, for even though being familiar with the concept or idea the audience seems to fall into his world within the first act which was actually shot more beautifully and with excellent detailing for Jordan knew that this is the part where the audience may go off track and after the movie has surpassed the first act and the introduction of its creepy world and dreadful characters, the premise of the movie will easily favour in for the rest of the acts. Besides Daniel there is very little of the other cast to perform on or project themselves to that range so it resides within his territory and he has taken care of it, nicely. Get Out is smart, a bit shady and surprisingly filled with stunning violent sequences which ups the ante a bit and boosts the movie to the whole new level where it plays off in the major league against the action sequences of the movies like The Revenant and The Atomic Blonde.… Expand

It's a study in how long a filmmaker can effectively hold an audience within the gray area between "awkwardness" and "fear." And it's also an effective, star-making showcase of the up-and-coming talent at the center of this film - Mr. Daniel Kaluuya himself. Indeed, the upward-trending drum of modern horror beats on with this film, yet another win for the genre and Blumhouse Productions in particular.… Expand

Besides maybe The Babadook's portrayal of mental illness. The film is just so energetic and does such a marvelous job of building up suspense, drama and raw tension that really just leaves u nervous and anxious throughout the course of the film. The film is not supernatural **** jump-scary, it's more so, a rapid frantic and high kinetic descent into madness, and absolute mayhem as the plot progresses. The film IS F**KING CRAZY at times, the actual resolution, and the actual situation our character gets himself in is just awful, and it just gets much worse as the flick goes on. I loved it. The actual social commentary the flick presents is also very fresh and interesting angle on social issues surrounding racism, that I personally found rewarding and interesting. It's a flick that is bold, and social relievent that has an important tale to tell. I like to think of "get out" more so like Lynchian, twilight zone esc show or movie. Kinda surreal, kinda spooky, but absolutely marvelous, interesting and highly philosophical and conceptual. Any issues I had generally tend to be around possibly the flick not being long enough. Overwise, I honestly can't think of much wrong with the film. i loved it.… Expand

The film, while starred by African Americans and having one that ultimately is the hero, tries to keep an even balance to make all audiences happy. As a white male and one that has conservative political views I wouldn't say the film is as racist as some reviewers say. I get it, black people can be racist too. But this film never really came across as racist in any sort of way. For those who aren't happy - is it that bad for there to be a black male who is the star of the film? The main actor was excellent and again he stayed neutral on the whole race thing. Anyways moving past that, this is my first review on here and made an account for this specifically. The film was good but definitely not worth the critical acclaims. It was fun to watch but at times it could be slow. Peele did an alright job and that's why I'm giving this a 7. I feel like the only reason why this was rated so highly on Rotten Tomatoes is because the main actor is African American and Hollywood is showing their liberal bias. Look, he was great but the film itself was not worth the critical acclaim. The supporting cast was sort of lousy which really overshadows his rperformance. This isn't a must-see like it's played up to be but it's a good film to watch. Won't be an all time great.… Expand

I immediately thought to myself "There's no way it can be THAT good!" To give you a brief idea, some of the most acclaimed films of all time don't even have this rating ("The Godfather" only has a 99%.) So I went into this while trying not to keep my expectations too high just in case. I'm glad that I did, because this film turned out to be good, but nothing more than good. It had some clever ideas and horror trope twists throughout, as well as some interesting background commentary on race in today's society, but other than that, the film was mostly played out predictably with no real game-changing elements or shocks like I had hoped. Overall, it's undoubtedly a clever and unique film in more ways than not and serves as a worthwhile directorial debut for Jordan Peele, but personally, I'd recommend disregarding that 100%, because simply put, it certainly isn't THAT good!… Expand

When they go to meet her parents, the extremely accommodating family and some weirdly off-kilter help cause concern..and more. Writer/director Jordan Peele has created a slowly mounting sense of fear that's more about racial tension than cinematic scares. Still, the sinister portent builds with steady apprehension that leads to a brutal outcome. While satirical observations on prejudice add humor (and some plot points strain logic), the overall effect is suitably chilling and completely entertaining.… Expand

Not all the directional debut sees this kind of welcome from the audience. Yeah, Jordan Peele had written and directed it. It is similar to the 90s style mystery-thrillers. Definitely must see for the 90s, 80s guys. It kind of looked like a black comedy, but I guess that's not they had preferred. Especially that teacup scenes and some of the close up shots, that freaks, yet very funny.

Well, this is the story of an interracial romance. When Chris decides to meet his girlfriend's white family, living outskirt of her hometown, all goes as planned. But he was not sure how her parents take it, that he's a black. Now everything has settled, but his visit started to take a strange turn after a series of weird events. What it is and how he overcomes it is the remaining tale.

The casting was amazing. The story was suspenseful. You would feel you can predict the scenes, but not that easy and when twist happens, you will realise it was simple as that. This is a hit film now, but if it was 20 years ago, surely would have gotten a cult classic status. And yes it is, thinking the future.

When this got out and its pre release, I thought it would disappear without any trace. It is rare a recognition a film like this to get to having a second string cast, debutante director and being a low cost film. I got entertained thoroughly as it delivered as promised. But I think some people are overjoyed and praising it like crazy. That's true if you are not a film fanatic, otherwise it is one of those decent films. Surely not to be missed. One of the best of this year.

As usual, many things don't make sense especially some of the twists but that doesn't matter much. The distrust between the races theme is extremely well done even if it is extreme. The story isn't great but the direction and photography are excellent. Most white people have a lot of fear of black men and this film may shock people into some serious thinking about the other side of the coin. Until the 60s, black men could be killed and black women could be raped in the South and sometimes elsewhere with very little chance that the perpetrators would face justice. And many innocent blacks were prosecuted and sentenced throughout our history for all sorts of crimes. Bravo for the people who made this film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went in expecting the film to have very little depth and to be purely a "white people bad" type of film but was actually pleasantly surprised and entertained. I will say that I wish the film wasn't so based upon race and more about the family's mind control experiments, since this part of the film seemed far more interesting and had some science fiction roots. The slow build was well done by Poole but I felt the last 25 minutes of the film were rushed and didn't leave as much impact as I had hoped. The comic relief is great but sometimes overdone during serious moments of the film. (Rod and Chris in the car after) I felt the film would have won over both political crowds had it not been so focused on the issue of race. don't we get enough politics from the news/social media? I didn't learn anything informative about race while watching the film since stereotypes have always existed and so has racism. The movie has some amazing ideas that remind of past horror films but I believe it race-baits a little too much. Pros: Good pacing, strong lead role (Daniel Kaluuya), interesting use of ideas such as hypnosis and mind control to preserve a family for generations, sparing use of gore (but fantastic when used). Cons: Too focused around politics to win over both crowds, flimsy supporting cast, rushed conclusion. I would give it a 7.5 if I wasn't limited to having to choose full numbers. DISCLAIMER: This is coming from someone who is a Conservative and voted for Trump, and look I didn't give the movie an awful score, would you look at that... P.S The kill with the deer head was fantastic. (Definitely the most important spoiler in my opinion) :D… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the movie, and I thought the concept was quite innovative within the horror genre. I did have problems with the movie however - some of the conversations between characters were later inferred to in every case be an act of jealousy, to kind of tie into a major plot twist. I honestly didn't myself receive that information from watching these conversations at all, and I think this could have been communicated more effectively in the scriptwriting. I also felt the protagonist should have been more concerned with the situation - so I had to suspend disbelief at his actions(in fairness this happens alot in horrors). Aside from that I didn't get any strong emotions of fear, danger or creepiness. This is all of course an individual experience that might differ to other people. Other than that I thought the movie was well executed across the board with the actors, setting and the idea behind it was brilliant. 7.2/10, not a massive appreciation for this movie, but i'm glad i watched it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was interesting but figured out what was going on right at the beginning. Made the mistake of saying this out loud to my girlfriend and ruined it for her aswell. It is pretty obvious though very early on if you have watched alot of movies. I have seen the movie skelton key and this was just like that.
When the father says about his parents being sick and the gardener and maid being the two that took care of them it was 100% obvious, plus it then confirms this by showing the grandpa/gardener running like an Olympic athlete (the father had also mentioned his father had been an Olympic runner just before then). I did enjoy watching Chris getting even though and some of the more subtle items in the film were very well done it was just everything was completely predictable, even the meeting with the blind man it was obvious what it was leading to. I did get an uneasy feeling watching some of the scenes but didn't find it the least bit scary. Chris' friend did provide good comic relief as well. It was okay, not deserving of all the praise though as not anything that hasn't been done before.
The acting was very good.
I would give it 7 of of 10.… Expand

Get Out is a physiological thriller. It is also a horror film. It is also a satire. It is also a political commentary on race in America. In short, Get Out is a unique film going experience.

The premise at the outset is simple enough, ChrisGet Out is a physiological thriller. It is also a horror film. It is also a satire. It is also a political commentary on race in America. In short, Get Out is a unique film going experience.

The premise at the outset is simple enough, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) a young African-american man from Boston, takes a trip to the suburbs with his white girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) to meet her parents for the first time.

In the early scenes debut writer/director Jordan Peele (of Key and Peele fame) expertly combines tried and tested horror tropes (‘That deer came out of nowhere!’) with the uncomfortable racial undertones of modern America to build tension and just generally make you feel uneasy.

Chris’ first evening with Rose’s family is where the script is at its best. Before anything too left of field happens the film is content to play out as a kind of social horror as Rose’s affluent parents Dean (Bradley Whitfield) and Missy (Catherine Keener) attempt, unsuccessfully to make Chris feel welcome. From the family’s ever present African American ‘servants’ to Dean’s declarative statement that — ‘I would have voted for Obama a third time’, every line and visual cue is meticulously designed to put Chris and the audience on edge.

The real gut punch of the first act though doesn’t come from the any member of the increasingly sinister Armitage family. During Rose and Chris’ private ‘debrief’ on the days events it becomes clear that Chris isn’t shocked or appalled by the casual racism he’s experienced. Instead he shrugs it off, saying simply ‘I told you so’. For me, this scene and Chris’ attitude is the crux of the film. Jordan Peele is using this everyday context to highlight a harsh everyday reality; that this kind of racism is not only common, it is sometimes accepted by those on the receiving end as a fact of life, something they just have to deal with.

Now for me to say I understand this in any real world way would be incredibly reductive and facetious. I am after all a white guy from England, I don’t know the first thing about A) being black or B) being any part of American society. What I would say though is that with the character of Chris, Jordan Peele has created a compelling, complex protagonist who can be related to on a deeply personal level as well as being a representative for African Americans.

Any good horror/thriller is nothing without a hero you can get on board with and Daniel Kaluuya’s performance here is nothing short of outstanding. As a showcase for his talents Get Out provides an amazing launching point for what I hope will be a long and varied career (next up he joins the Marvel Universe with a role in Black Panther in 2018).

After the initial evening with the parents the film uses Missy’s profession as a psychiatrist to kick things into a new, horrifying and visually dynamic gear while the arrival of a dozen or so very white house guests the next day pushes the social awkwardness to whole new levels.

As the true plot unfolds, new revelations and twists pile up, adding fresh context to the earlier scenes (this is definitely a film that will benefit from repeat viewings). As always I won’t spoil the main plot but needless to say its all very **** up.

Throughout the film a subplot involving Chris’ friend Rod (Lil Rel Howery), provides some much needed comic relief which, although welcome, would’ve felt a little out of place if things hadn’t played out the way they did.

To discuss the film any further would require me to go further into spoiler territory and really dig into the Armatige’s ‘evil scheme’ and all it implies.

For now all I’ll say is Get Out is unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s entertaining, it’s thought provoking and it is sure to be discussed for many years to come. Go see it at you earliest convenience….then we can talk.… Expand

The movie's comedy is hilarious at times, and filled with great dry sarcasm. All of the actors give a good performance, and the ending of this movie is dynamite. That being said, it has 2 big problems. 1: When the main guy looks through his girlfriend's pictures, his girlfriend looks THE SAME AGE in every picture, and, if you remember the scene, there are quite a few pictures. This is an error that just doesn't make sense. My second problem may be a little more controversial: Every white person is evil. I know the movie is saying something about racism, but in the real world, not EVERY white person is a racist monster. If it had at least one NOT RACIST white character, it wouldn't have this problem.… Expand

It tells a great deal about today's current racism without shoving it in the viewers face but rather lets you discover the many layers to this horror delight. The plot is chilling, fast moving but can become predictable at times. As a horror fan, this movie does not fall short. The plot is down right terrifying while not relaying on jump scares or a scary looking creature but lets the impending fear of dread coil around your stomach till you totally forget the half full bucket of popcorn you were munching on. A joy to watch while holding vital social message; "Get Out" should not be overlooked.… Expand

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but Get Out really is not all that it's cracked up to be, and certainly--in my opinion--is not worthy of most of the Oscar nominations it received.

As a "horror comedy," it tries to be funny and scaryPerhaps my expectations were too high, but Get Out really is not all that it's cracked up to be, and certainly--in my opinion--is not worthy of most of the Oscar nominations it received.

As a "horror comedy," it tries to be funny and scary and it never really seems to succeed at either. The horror relies mostly upon the assumption that the viewer doesn't know what's really going on at this white family's home, but the twist that suddenly gives the "big reveal" is predictable about half way into the film. The humor mostly consists of awkward situations that the main character finds himself in and they certainly don't produce any laughs, but rather just concerned cringe-induced chuckles.

That being said, Daniel Kaluuya gives an incredibly emotion-filled performance as Chris and the dialogue--when it's not attempting at humor--is quick and effective at delivering Jordan Peele's admittedly original but flawed story and emotion involved therein.

Get Out is a predictable but sufficiently engaging thriller that clearly only received the Oscar nominations it got because of its political agenda.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched breathless until the end of an absolutely fabulous script. Throughout the film, you can predict the turn of a job at home, but you can not predict exactly what it is.

yes it will be absolutely dangerous something is sure to happen but it is hard to guess what it is,what it is,what it is

Obviously I could not figure it out at the end of the idea that people would get into their brains surprised me, I thought more simple things like slaves and rose did not expect it to be in this job, it was a question that I thought was good and surprised me In general I really like the filmin topic, I won the academy prize in the best screenplay category I must say that you absolutely deserve it I could say a better film than this one because I do not call the film bad but it just might be better I like the film in general I just found the final scene a bit nasty was a bit simple

I could not have liked Chris's things very easily, and I could not have liked that kind of scenes.… Expand

Sure, the scares come and when they do they're great. In fact, it could be a brilliant thriller film if it wanted to. It's not one of those movies which have way too many scares, with no focus being put upon the storytelling. The pace of the movie is really fast, which is good as in some horror films you feel like they focus more upon the setup and just deliver jump scares at the end. The performances are really good. Daniel Kaluuya is brilliant in the film. Just watch that scene where he first goes into the Sunken Place, excellent acting. I think Allison Williams goes really under the radar as she also gives a good performance. The screenplay and score was outstanding building that feeling of dread and realization that he couldn't get out of the place but was just stuck here. The story is fabulous with so many inventive and creative things making twists all the time. The final act is great, right when you understand everything on one go in that TV conversation scene. There's no wonder that this film won Best Original Screenplay at the oscars… Expand

From the start, you know there’s something not right about this family and creepy things are going on in the house while they are there. TheThe great parts about this movie really come into play when they get to the girlfriend’s home. From the start, you know there’s something not right about this family and creepy things are going on in the house while they are there. The suspense generated as the movie goes on and really keeps you invested. This is done by learning more about the characters physcologically and not just their backgrounds. You go through this whole and you see how messed up the concept of this movie is and how screwed up the girl’s parents are. But, the movie doesn’t beat you over head with the horror or suspense, there is good humor in the movie that doesn’t derail the movie and gives a god break from the suspense. Too much of that can make it feel more like generic horror movie and that isn’t what stands out today. The good humor in place makes this movie stand out even more and keeps you invested in the film.

It’s hard to review this movie without spoilers so I’ll just talk about the cinematography for the last part. The suspense generated from the camera work is amazing, by that I mean some of the simple parts gives you even more ideas of something not right. One example is actually from the tailer when he goes to give the guy a fist bump but the guy jus grabs his hand like a handshake. The close-up of the hands gives this subtle idea that the people who work at this house are not normal and that there is something on at this house that can’t be good in any way.… Expand
