A Very Pleasant Surprise Indeed!

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2017)

Finally, after hearing all the talk and reading tons of reviews, my wife and I set out to see Get Out. Neither one of us despite being very big movie fans consider ourselves to be lovers of horror films but I must say that we were both pleasantly surprised by Jordan Peele's first movie out of the gate. The story itself was solid and suspenseful the acting was second to none and despite being just a tad long in laying the initial groundwork when the characters initially arrive at the parent's home the story pulled together in a very timely fashion. The supporting cast was great and the interjection of comic relief was timely and funny. The horror moments were just that horrific.The story line kept me guessing just long enough to figure what nefarious deeds were happening behind the scenes. The social message and the intertwining within the story itself were illuminative and gave way to a deeper meaning. Hands down Get Out did not disappoint and delivered in a way I have not seen when it comes to horror films and that's saying a lot from someone who doesn't consider himself a horror fan. The film is a must see if you love movies period and I'll be adding Get Out to my collection of Blu- rays. Nine stars indeed and my wife and I look forward to seeing what Mr. Peele has in the pipeline for our future entertainment.
