One of the most original horror movies lately

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2017)

Get Out is Jordan Peele's directorial debut and it's about a young black man whose white girlfriend takes him to meet her parents. There is a lot racism going on and he starts getting more and more paranoid.
I really can't describe the plot of this movie very well without spoiling too much and that's because of the one problem I have with this movie:awkward pacing. It's a bit of a slow-burn until the very end and then everything is resolved very quickly. It's still well-done and intense, yes, but the pacing makes the whole thing feel a bit off. There is also a comic relief character that was given way too much to do. He wasn't annoying, he was actually pretty funny, but his constant appearing gave us some way too sudden tonal shifts. Now while I'm saying all this, it probably sounds like I didn't like the movie, but I really did. I didn't think it was perfect, but it was an interesting ride.
The premise itself is pretty smart, I just felt that more could be done with more psychological parts of the movie. Even though the plot structure isn't the best, the dialogues are very well written and backed up by very strong performances. Main character is well developed and you really care about him, which makes the whole situation even more intense. Through the first two acts, not much really happens, but you can't help but feel that sense of dread. Then things go down. Actually, it has a similar structure to The Wicker Man, just with a less disturbing ending.
This movie has its flaws, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it because it won me over with an intense atmosphere and nail- biting climax.
