Oh my fucking goodness, that movie was good. Great. Excellent. Can I start my first movie review blog like that? Well I guess I just did…because that was my reaction when the movie ended. One hour and 44 minutes of laughter, fear, WTF moments, drama, sweating, a few jumps from my seat and a few screams of kill that motherfu**er. Get Out is a modern day thriller that tries to tackle race relations and black stereotypes, the evils of suburbia, the pain of loss and the awkwardness of meeting the girlfriend’s family… It’s Meet the Parents and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner meet The Stepford Wives. It’s brilliant. It’s suspenseful. It’s funny. Only the mind of Jordan Peele can come up with this concept.
Synopsis: a young African-American man travels upstate with his Caucasian girlfriend to meet her parents. At first, you think the discomfort he feels is simply because he’s the "first" black boyfriend she’s taken home. Then the country club friends arrive and you soon begin to realize there’s something sinister at play. But what unfolds is totally mind boggling and it takes you on a ride like no other horror movie has before. The tea cup. The bingo game. The red box. You MUST see this movie…and if the Academy does not nominate this film for an Oscar, they will be terribly remiss in their duties.
