An interesting horror comedy

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2018)

This review contains spoilers.
Get Out is directed and written by Jordan Peele and is about an African American man in a mixed race relationship visiting her parents. The Armitage family is involved with missing people in the area. The family has some African American servants that act strangely. Over the course of the movie, this mystery is revealed.
The movie's story is its focus and strength. The story is well written. As the movie goes on, audiences can laugh at the strange behavior of the characters but deep down, it is horrifying to see others as objects. The story has a lot of double meaning to it. For example, the Armitage family claiming they are not racists. Racism rakes several forms and Get Out shows that the liberal praising of a race can be discriminatory in the way that Get Out shows. In addition to the story, the movie is well acted and directed. Jordan Peele blended the comedy and horror into the movie well and I enjoyed every moment of the movie.
There are some story inconsistencies. It is strange that Rose could have gotten away with entrapping so many people when she is doing it publicly. The victims do not seem to retain their memories and any friends could see something is wrong. These could be excused as the story has explanations for these inconsistencies.
Overall, I would recommend Get Out. The movie is a tight horror-comedy that does not rely on jump scares.
Grade: B
