A good thriller.

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2019)

After seeing the trailer of 'Get Out' and reading it's wikipedia entry, I thought I would be seeing a horror film, but it actually wasn't. There are a few scenes that induced a bit of psychological scare (e.g. the scene, where a man sprinted like a lunatic out of the dark night to the protagonist, just to run past him) and a pinch of splatter/gore (when the neuro surgeon opened the head of a still living elder man). Besides this, there wasn't any more that would get the viewer to feel like watching a proper horror movie. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that 'Get Out' is a bad movie; it's my fault that I had expected the film to be of the horror genre. There is a lot that gave me the impression of seeing a thriller: e. g. the main character's friend works for the TSA and is therefore obviously quite used to do investigative work as he does in the film to help his friend to get out of his death trap. Even the protagonist himself is pretty curious to find out more about the several strange incidents. He notices plenty of suspicious things, like his phone being unplugged by someone so that its battery is emptied or people saying inappropriate or even brazen things about his pretty hefty afroamerican physique, which he gradually puzzles out to be a threat to his life - just like a detective.
Anyway, it's a good thriller. If you want to see a horror movie, it's probably not what you're looking for.
