Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2017)

-Get Out-
Status: APPROVED
A young African American man visits his European American girlfriend's family estate where he learns that many of its residents, who are black, have gone missing, and he soon learns the horrible truth when another frantic African-American warns him to "get out". He soon learns this is easier said than done.
What I liked:
Great cast
Writing and directing was on point
Slow build-up with a satisfying pay off
Good job making the audience feel uncomfortable
Moments of comedy really do work
Fun mix of horror and social commentary, all that really work for the films advantages
The music was good
Movie does a good job creating characters we can root for and characters we hate
What I didn't like:
Some out of place scenes
While the music was good, there were places where they put in music where it was unnecessary. Not only was the music in those moments unnecessary, but it was also pretty overbearing
Consensus:
A near-horror masterpiece, I feel like this movie will end up being a classic in years to come. It's acting, the writing, and the horror social commentary all work proving that Jordan Peele has more to offer than comedy, and can create scenes with tension. He also proves that maybe behind the camera works best for him, showing how creative he can really be. I recommend seeing this in theaters, just to show Hollywood that original movies are welcome and also that original movies can be very, very good.
