Don't watch "IT", watch "OUT"!

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2017)

Get Out may not be everything the media may lead you to believe, but compared to other recent horror films like the atrocious and tedious IT, it's a masterpiece. Skip IT, and go with Get Out. Anyone familiar with The Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Stepford Wives will find Get Out a new and effective variation on an old theme that disappointingly looses steam as it goes along, and runs afoul of clichés with no real payoff or satisfying resolution, and the last minute rescue is hokey as is an awkward attempt at exposition via television. The acting and directing go a long way in making Get Out compelling and enjoyable and a level of social critique in the script makes Get Out a welcome relief from the usual horrors.
