I was not disappointed. He sets you up with a barrage of left jabs that started in how the trailers were cut and how the movie plays through most of it's length, and then he delivers a stunning right hook in the major twist of the film. Great portrayals from everyone and a movie that will make you want to watch it again to find the hidden threads that you should've seen and foreshadow what's to come.… Expand

A masterpiece all over, and can you believe this came from JORDAN PEELE from the Key and Peele show? The best thing about this film is that it doesn't focus on the scares much. 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

Il punto forte del film non è la trama abbastanza intuibile dopo le scene dell'asta bensì il ritmo e le colonna sonora che si fanno rispettivamente più intenso e cupa col trascorrere del film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most here providing negative or low scored reviews because they believe it’s racist against whites or feel it is or isn’t a comedy, are not versed on the history of America nor black culture beyond rap. The horror is aimed more at black people because this is a deeply rooted fear. Whites have taken or tried to take everything...now they come for the only thing black people have left. Their bodies. It draws upon influences from history in RL, such as Emmett Till and the horrific and controversial nature of his death, and also the belief that physically Black people are superior. Also the mistrust of white people that has been bred into blacks, and the reverse, speaks to racial disharmony, even within this very thread. Also speaks to further ignorance people have of each other and situations. One person here didn’t understand the movie, so so they believed the success had to do with the lead actor being black, another believed there is a reverse racism. Neither of those is true. The very definition of racism makes it impossible for such a thing for reverse racism to exist. The word you’re looking for is prejudice. But not so here either. This is simply a writer who was able to exploit a fear, of a community of people, who happen to not be white. The critical acclaim comes from the fact that these fears have never been on display so openly before.
That is why very few if any black people found this movie funny, but did find it horrific, even though fictional.
If you didn’t get the gist of the movie, I urge you to research Emmitt Till, George Stinney, Black WallStreet and History Channels Bio On Lynchings and then watch this again, imagining what it’s like to grow up with that knowledge in your head and what would make you afraid we’re you that person on screen. Not you, sitting at home in you white skin. Would you watch this movie and think, that could never happen, laughing, or think oh god...what if they did try this...what if they did try?!
If you are he’ll bent on believing white men and women are being subjugated and you don’t want to believe otherwise, then skip the research and go watch another movie. You don’t want to get it, and no one is forcing you to.… Expand

The characters were fantastic, they were all interesting and entertaining to watch and that's because the acting was perfect, the main character wasn't stupid which is a problem I have with horror movies, here he was calm and logical.

I really recommend it, the only con I have is that the ending goes a bit too far, I won't spoil anything, but it did become ridiculous to a certain point, I know it's an exageration to prove the movie's point but it was a bit distracting.… Expand

Holy jeezums, Get Out is fantastic! I was expecting to like it and get a fun horror movie, but I wasn't expecting a horror movie on par with The Shining.

Its themes on racism are good, but I find that the themes of morality and immortalityHoly jeezums, Get Out is fantastic! I was expecting to like it and get a fun horror movie, but I wasn't expecting a horror movie on par with The Shining.

Its themes on racism are good, but I find that the themes of morality and immortality even more fascinating. What the villain(s) do is undeniably ungodly, but is it even racist? I won't go into spoilers, but this movie raises a lot of interesting questions. Can something be racist and not racist at the same time? What the villain(s) do of course is horrible, but their reasoning, though still morally wrong, can be interpreted as both racist and not racist at the same time! You can argue that them going after black people specifically is racist, but another person can argue that it's in a weird way, admiring black people... just in the most evil way possible.

Get Out messes with my head, and it is very very clever with how everything is set up and resolved.… Expand

The movie drives home its themes and points perfectly, and its refreshing to see a horror movie with a message behind it in an age of cut and dry slashers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Director Jordan Peele goes after the liberal elite in this obviously satire film that isn’t even scary and didn’t scare audiences, but it isn’t even a documentary for that matter. As you know, Get Out was put in the comedy category at the Golden Globes. However, Jordan Peele insists it is a documentary. But it is a comedy, like I said, and it is sure to win many awards in the comedy category. In the film, the ‘help’ of the liberal elite are to serve a purpose that is both funny and quite entertaining. The obvious silly insinuations are full of laughs suitable for the whole family, and jokes for every culture, religion, creed and socio-economic background to enjoy. The entire theatre will burst into unrestrained and spontaneous laughter at the comedic elements strewn forth for the audience’s delight. But if it were a comedy it should have won the category! In all seriousness, 5 out of 5 stars for an outstanding film. The best I have seen in a long time. This will be the gold standard for black horror films, it perhaps has invented a new genre.… Expand

TomtagMay 7, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Get Out (2017), directed by one of the people who got this job the latest, Jordan Peele. The movie was thought to be an American horror, but instead, it was an American thriller and not only it was a thriller but also a kind of social racism to transition to violent, overt racism. It’s like a racism with violence. I don’t know why white hated black so much. We’re in the 21st century and Lincoln had done something for this situation (perhaps get out set up in the 19th century). This movie had a combination of mystery, horror, violence and racism which what I was talking about, an American thriller about racism. The cast was great. I really like the way Daniel Kaluuya acted as Chris Washington, an African-American guy. I saw him looked like a child when he was frozen, hypnotized with tears coming from his eyes. The reason for such good performances was the adapted screenplay. Everything they said made sense and we could understand a lot. The other casts also did great on being the whitties who hated the blacks. Also I should hear someone says **** Rose Armitage was also well-played by Alison Williams. She was a naïve and privileged American white girlfriend of Chris Washington who was hypnotized by her grandfather in the end. LilRel Howery was great as well playing Chris’ best friend Rob who was really funny (his voice, how he acted). How they set the beginning of this movie was totally perfect for a racism. A black man getting abducted by a white guy and was sent into the white guy’s car. I didn’t know what the hell was happening there. When it got to the scenes where many people are visiting the Armitage house, I still was confused what the movie was trying to tell us. I had no clue. It was just a black guy was taken by his girlfriend to her house and then they were eating outside and then the black guy slept then went to the white girl’s mother and she helped him to reduce smoking addiction. Then, when Chris got kidnapped by the Armitages, I suddenly realized this was a racist movie. I really didn’t understand about the hypnotizing part (how could Missy do that?). In spite of being a thriller, there were jump scares like sudden stab and attack (which nobody gives you a clue about someone is gonna attack you) and bloody violences like a guy cut another guy’s upper part of his head to get his brain, it was really disgusting. Blacks and Whites. The cinematography was just great. The views were well-shot. Get Out also spent some of its time capturing the uneasiness of sitting down on a chair having dinner with the whitties when Chris was berated by Dean and Missy for his smoking addiction and he also smoked in front of Rose, their daughter. As you know, Peele is a comedian, we saw that in the Tv Series Key and Peele, some scenes in the movie I found them funny as well. The premise reads like a Key and Peele sketch concept: A black man visits his white girlfriend’s rich family and awkwardness ensues. I have already said that Howery was one part of the humor. I was really entertained watching the movie (even though I wasn’t old enough to watch it). Even though it’s a thriller, horror movie fans might find it entertaining as well and like it a lot. The movie also gave me some Goosebumps and maybe others too perhaps.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a film, unlike anything we've seen in recent memory. First time director and skit comedy legend Jordan Peele delivers a thrilling, suspenseful, and thought-provoking piece of artwork for his debut film. Whether it is the soulful moody music of Donald Glover's Redbone that help set the scene, to the emblematic awkwardness of meeting your significant other's parents for the first time. This artwork explores how our most vulnerable past experiences have shaped who we are, how cultural disconnect in race can make even the simplest of interactions more complicated than needed. But most importantly how we view black in America. This film challenges you to think about what your sunken place is because it is different everyone. Because Chris' sunken place only looked liked he was watching tv because in the most helpless point of his life Chris was watching tv. So if you want a film that isn't afraid to push to you to the edge and make you feel a little uncomfortable then 'Get Out' might the film for you.… Expand

I went into this movie with no expectations because I didn't want to be disappointed due to the overwhelming hype surrounding the movie. Get Out for me wasn't a horror flick but a psychological thriller shrouded in social commentary about the perceptions and stereotypes people of different races have of each other. Some may find the beginning of this movie to be rather slow because it focuses on character development which for me was a good thing. I found the pace of the movie seemed to flow from scene to scene and I was never bored. I thought every character in the movie held their own and gave great and believable performance particularly the lead actor (Daniel Kaluuya)who played Chris. I felt the lead actor and his co-star(Allison Williams)who played Rose Armitage his girlfriend had a natural chemistry which, drew me into their characters. I loved Chri friend played by comedian(LilRel Howery)who starred as Rod Williams the TSA Agent, who provided the comic relief to the movie. Rose's parents Missy and Dean were odd none to say the lease and added to the thrill of the movie along with the two black employees who were just strange. The other character I won't name only added to the strangeness of the story which was fun to watch. Now I don't understand how the user rating on this site aren't higher but, I can only suspect that either those people, who gave the movie anywhere from a 0 to a 3 didn't watch the movie and are planting fake reviews or they are alt-right Trump supporters with an agenda. Any time you write a review with details that have nothing to do with the story line and then throw in some political B.S to cap off your review you're full of "bleep." Now, I will say that those who genuinely didn't take to the movie felt the movie was either predictable, too slow, or had an issue with the end of the movie. Those reviews I can understand but I can't get behind some of the fake reviews that were created to out of spite just to lower the movies overall high score and positive user movie reviews. There are commenters on this site with a shady political agenda and that's unfortunate but don't allow those comments to detour you from seeing this absolutely fun and engaging film. I'm giving this movie a 10. So if you have the time and some spare cash grab a friend and go see Get Out.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Generally considered one of the best movies of 2017, it’s rather safe to name ‘Get Out’ as the best horror film of the year. It’s only real competition would be ‘IT’, maybe ‘mother!’ (it’s proven to be rather divisive), and if you want to count it as a horror film, ‘The Shape of Water’. Excluding IT, there is actually a theme linking these recent horror successes. They each have more to them than simply being scary. Whether it be a message you can interpret, dazzling visuals or splashes of comedy, they each bring something else to the table.

Directed, surprisingly enough, by Jordan Peele, famous for his hilarious sketch comedy, Get Out is a genuine surprise. Based on the director, I’d made the assumption that this film would be a generic horror comedy, presumably relishing in over-the-top jumpscares and gore. Instead, what I found myself watching was somewhat of a mystery. Jordan Peele himself said that the film ‘can’t be put into a genre box’, and he’s right; it could arguably be a horror film, a suspenseful thriller, a comedy, a mystery or a pretentious commentary of race relations in America. Mercifully, I didn’t interpret it as the latter.

Originally conceived following Barack Obama’s second election, the film tackles a subject of race-relations rarely noticed: the opposite of racism. And I’m not talking about ‘reverse-racism’. Many white characters in this film actually love black people so much, they want to become them. Knowing it was written during Obama’s second term, that makes sense. Watching it now, with President Trump in office, gives it a different spin. Regardless of how you interpreted the antagonists, they were probably the most ‘human’ villain in horror in recent memory. Ignoring some questionable science, they were depressingly human.

The cinematography was a pleasant surprise. Shots, while rarely astounding, strongly added to the mood. Throughout the film, they felt as though they were getting closer, until we are unable to escape the situation we’ve been thrust into. Also, at times, we can see background characters watching our protagonist without his knowledge. Tension is present throughout, whether it be due to a nervous comment we aren’t sure how to react to, or somebody brandishing a weapon, the audience can rarely relax, leaving you tired when the credits roll.

The characters are each rather interesting. Obviously, the family is all rather one-note, but they play that one note so sweetly, I can’t bring myself to complain. The exception to this is Rose (Allison Williams). This character shifts so jarringly, I briefly thought it was someone else in her body. Daniel Kaluuya’s portrayal of Chris was also wonderful, and rather believable. Ultimately, the featured roles stole the show, however. Both Marcus Henderson and Keith Stanfield were brilliant, but Betty Gabriel’s Georgina was flawless. While the ‘saying things in an overly happy way to be creepy’ trope has been played out a bit, the cast in this film manage to make it unsettling again.

My main issue with the film is that it doesn’t seem to think the audience is particularly bright. Much of the racial ‘undertones’ are forced upon us, lest we miss the point of the film. There’s also occasional recaps of past events in conversations between Rose and Chris. The audience doesn’t need to be told why something is awkward, or strange; we can work it out. It’s both more rewarding for the viewer, and saves time in the film. This comes to a head when Chris finally works out what’s going on. We see literal flashbacks to previous events, as though we’d have somehow forgotten the things we’d seen half an hour prior.

With that said, however, it does highlight something that pleases me greatly. This is a mystery you can actually solve if you’re paying attention. It’s teased earlier in the film that the family’s grandfather was not only a runner, but that he lost to a black man. It’s not too large a leap to find the character’s envy. Perhaps others are like this? We also learn the parents’ occupations rather early, too. The party scene is utterly littered with clues, to the point of it becoming painfully obvious looking back.

To conclude, I feel this film was an exceptionally successful film. With a budget of merely 4.5 million dollars, Jordan Peele has told not only a highly enjoyable horror (or thriller, or comedy..) film, but an interesting commentary on society today. It also manages to avoid persecuting the viewer, regardless of their race, as I feared it may end up doing. I am quite happy giving this a high 8/10. If you’re looking for an alternative to a crowd-pleasing horror film such as ‘IT’, I recommend Get Out. At the moment, the film has made a profit of 250 million dollars at the box office, and it deserves every one of them.… Expand

This film is arguably one of the best things I have ever seen nothing like it when it involves the combination of racism and social horror on the big screen. The acting, direction, screenplay, philosophy, and the tone of this movie matched how crazy that film is set up. If Jordan Peele made a sequel or a spinoff of Get Out, the next movie will be even crazier like this one! Without a doubt, this movie is an instant cult classic and a must checkout if you’re willing to see a movie that has a wild of sense of humor taking on social horror and racial tensions.… Expand

Well, it must be named as cult. "get out" is simply one of the most complete and underrated movies in the last period. Suspance in the key word for this movie's success. Horror? Thriller? No, it doesn't. It is simply "Get Out". Well done.

I will first agree that as a white male, no matter how poor I grew up there is a lot of privilege and safety in who I was born as. I haven't had to walk in the shoes of a minority like that so my view on this is of course from the outside.

I don't understand how its determined a comedy/horror movie. There were a couple of amusing parts but the whole thing reads like a horror movie, a very well written, well directed, well acted horror movie.

The movie itself is a slow build up from the beginning. The actual action of the movie only starts towards the end, but Peele's story keeps you enthralled anyways. I really found myself liking the main character Chris and I was rooting for him the whole movie. His girlfriend Rosie wasn't my favorite as a character, but the actress did great herself it was just the character I didn't like.

The hero of the movie to me though was Rod. He was pretty funny, and maybe that is why they call it a comedy, but I found he stole the show for me.

The trailers are pretty straight forward with the story, but you will still enjoy it and there are still surprises. By the end of the movie I didn't trust white people and I pretty much embarrassed to be white by the end, although in full disclosure I don't really trust white people anyways and am embarrassed by them regularly, but that is beside the point.

I can't recommend it enough that people should see this movie.

The good: I was impressed with how much the story stuck with me. It was full of great acting, directing and writing and I would be happy to pay theater prices again to see more of Peele's stuff if he does this type of horror again.

The bad: Nothing bad that I could point to.… Expand
