get out is good advice

Rating: 3/10 (29 April 2017)

White girl has a black boyfriend and they decide to spend a weekend away with her parents for the first time. He is told that her parents are unaware she is dating a black guy and he feels uncomfortable about the pending visit.
For me, the portrayal of the girlfriend was a bit full on, she was annoying and uncomfortable in the role, maybe this was purposeful, a hint at what was to come, but I feel she was just not right for the part. Then i read her bio and find she's the daughter of prominent news anchor, and things seem to make sense.
I got all the racist jokes, the irony of the ending scenes etc but there have been better movies that have dealt with race issues in the same way, and there were no surprises in the movie itself, you know whats going to happen, it's all a bit weak, completely unrealistic, and no real horror to be had. There are periods of suspense and a bit of blood on occasion, and I did like the hypnotism inclusion and the way it was woven into the plot. The main guy must have been cast due to his eyes alone, he looks like he being tortured while just reading a book. The guy playing the father was OK, again, laid it on thick, it was part of the plot to do so, but it still made the movie almost a parody of itself, they were out to get him from the start of the movie, as the trailer suggests, and it was portrayed just like this, almost slapstick in its application. This kinda ruined the 'horror' mood for me. Still had its moments, there were macabre aspects to this portrayal and elements of a generic type slasher film. But I was left disappointed, I kinda got exactly what I expected, thought the ending was a bit of comic relief actually. Next
