Get Out

Get Out

Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

    Jordan Peele: The next great Horror/Thriller Director.
    (Get Out) is a thrilling, while also really scary and well made horror movie. The acting is really amazing and helps the movie become so horrifying, something you cant get enough of if your an Horror-Geek like me. It is a really original kind of horror movie, which is so fresh, such a phenomenal plot made to perfection in (Get Out).

    Only a few other horror movies of the 21st century are as frightening as (Get Out) fx. "Apostle" and "Sinister".

    (Get Out) deserves all the praise and love it has gotten from critics and the people alike.

    I fully recommend you watching (Get Out) if you like something a little extra scary and original.

    (9/10)

    Felt uneasy the whole time watching it.
    I haven't watched very many thriller movies but I must say this is one of the best I've seen so far.

    Casting is perfect. Catherine Keener has this look in her eyes that makes me also feel like I'm being hypnotized when she does that thing with the tea cup. Daniel's Kaluuya also did an outstanding job making you feel anxious and uneasy as he started getting suspicious about the family.

    A little bit predictable. We all knew Rod (Chris' friend) will be the one to actually get outside help and the whole movie was about how soon he can discover the family's dark secret and figure out how to rescue his friend. And with his the great acting, we all rooted for him .

    A Legend is Born.
    In Jordan Peele's debut film Get Out he puts himself in an exclusive group of directors in the horror genre. He creates an entertaining film from start to finish that everyone can enjoy but is also filled with real world struggles and commentary on the nation of the United State. The conversation of race is always a touch one and it is a hard topic to get right because it is very easy to make someone upset. Not here though, this film toes the line of great script writing and getting the message across of the inequality in treatment that occurs across the U. S. It does this in impactful ways while having fun with some of the absurdities that come along the with some of the treatment that is given to minority groups.

    Putting that aside there is a lot of great thing that this film does right just on a technical stand point. The cinematography is a great and uses a wide array of shots and camera moves to put us in the characters shoes and show their unease or how conniving they are. This is also complement well with with the soundtrack as it gives an eerie undertone that fits the weird scenes that makes you start thinking. For me both of these thing can make or break a movie. Even if there is a good script and great acting, as movie should be entertaining to the eye, the ear, and the mind. With all of that being said I think Jordan and the cast of Get Out did their job well and produced an entertaining film and gave great commentary on relationships in the United States.

    One of the most superb films of the horror genre
    I just watched this today and I've never experienced such a visceral reaction from a movie. I felt all the dread, confusion and pure fear that Chris felt, a true testament to Jordan Peele's genius in his nuanced direction. David Kaluuya's performance was spectacular (especially in the first hypnotism scene) and his range of emotions cemented him as one of the most talented actors of modern cinema. Honourable mentions go to Lil Rey Howery for nearly making me laugh out of my seat during his Jeffery Dahmer speech, and Alison Williams, for genuinely making me gasp when it was revealed she was another nefarious villain, despite all the foreshadowing that my dense self missed. This thought-provoking masterpiece is now one of my favourite films, and I will now go and recommend it to everyone in sight.

    A must see.
    A young man uncovers shocking secrets when he meets the family of his girlfriend and their odd employees and friends.

    Perfectly executed horror thriller by director writer Jordan Peele. With a tension filled script, this offering is finely acted and maliciously staged. The on location shoot adds to realism in every tense conversation, punchlines and shocking acts of violence. With an air of Hostel about it, Get Out is witty and equally frightening with a milt layered subtexts. It's a sharp horror thrill ride.

    Daniel Kaluuya is simply outstanding along with the rest of the exceptional cast including Allison Williams. Notable Lil Rel Howery as Rod, a TSA Airport police officer.

    Overall, what could have been easily a hack job, is a piece of finessed film, Peele elevates the genre into something quite thought provoking and edge of your seat entertaining. Highly recommended.

    Get outta here!
    All those 8+ reviews. Don't be mislead. The movie is very bad. The plot isa obvious very early in the movie and nothing, really nothing suprised me. What a farce.

    The whole story gets crazier and crazier. There was absolutely no reason to suspend disbelief and reengage into the story.

    The only positive thing to mention is the ending. But I do not recommend watching this piece of crap to experience this single redeeming occurance.

    Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

    bla bla.

    Marvelous
    I really liked what I saw in this movie. And it's not just about a high-quality picture made in dark colors or a cool performance by the actors.

    The story itself is presented very skillfully. The author used the same stereotypes and smears that have been used for a long time. But he added to them originality and authenticity, the fate of fiction and a sharp change in the situation, which becomes more intense and difficult. In the same way, a snow avalanche is formed, which starts with a small landslide, but as a result, it drags tons of snow.

    I would also like to say a few words about the atmosphere created by Pill. He so skillfully created a sense of constant danger and anxiety that I was waiting for an attack or a frightening situation every second. And you still need to be able to do that.

    Also, the picture skillfully conveys the idea that the most terrible monster is man himself.

    Given that this genre is mostly filled with incomprehensible and uninteresting nonsense, this work is definitely one of the best of the last 15 years. Because of this, he gets a high rating from me.
