Edge of your seat horror

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2019)

I watched this film during my Horror Film course this semester. Prior to the last session, I had no idea what the film was about or even that it was so new.
Jordan Peele takes viewers on an emotional journey in this film. Just as the viewer gets comfortable with the direction of the plot, he throws several twist and turns into the mix to keep things fun and exciting. I would have thought that Jordan Peele writing a horror film would be lead in a more comedic direction with a few small elements of scary. He does the exact opposite!! This film left me guessing and on the edge of my seat.
Get Out gives the viewer more of a mental scare, as Peele stays away from the typical cheap jump scares you might be expecting. I could watch this film again and again while still finding a different element to ponder and evaluate.
The actors in the film are just amazing; how they can hold their cool in such obscure situations is baffling. The film deserves awards that it did not have the chance to win. Being able to combine horror and comedy in a well-balanced film deserves much more recognition. I would truly like to see another horror film from Jordan Peele, as I feel he has found a way to create a new, more modern horror film.
To anyone who is looking for the psychological thrill, this film will make you feels many uncomfortable things, but it will offer you the opportunity to see the world in a different way and maybe evaluate your past and future.
