Get Out is a smart suspenseful thriller and one of the better horror movies up to date.

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2017)

The fear of meeting the significant others parents has always been an anxiety of wondering how they are like. The anxiety of trying to impress them, the background history or even the appearance can make you feel a little nervous. Director/writer Jordan Peele first film and tackling a horror genre at that makes a pretty entertaining movie. He definitely has his work cut out as a director by making the one thing couples usually have an anxiety about and twisting it around.
The film follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) are planning a small trip to visit her parents. He is afraid they will judge him for being a black guy. They arrive at their country side house, were Chris notices that there is a black guy doing work on their yard or a house maid. Which her parents assure him that they are not prejudice. When his girlfriends mother does an hypnosis session with him. He notices that everyone there may not be who they say they are.
Get Out is a great suspenseful horror movie. It may not be scary or bloody. It does build the mystery suspense. The moments of Chris noticing the strange behaviors that the house maids are behaving. Her parents behaviors being erratic and cheery and creepy about meeting him and introducing him to other guests in a big party. The concept of hypnosis is also pretty crazy as Chris starts questioning if its his paranoia self about fearing about being judged for his race or if something sinister is going on. Jordan Peele does well building the suspense and the anxiety with a white family having black people as maids.
I was very surprised about how awesome this movie was. I had low expectations after watching the trailers and was thinking it would be a cheesy bad acting horror movie. Jordan Peele proved the expectations wrong. It turned out to be a smart suspenseful movie were you root for the main character. Which is rare to see characters make certain decisions which can be frustrating in most horror movies.
There is a twist that is best not to reveal or talk about. The less you know or see from the previews the better the surprise will be. The last act and the ending does not disappoint. The movie does have some funny moments and plus a comic relief character that is Chris friend that is always throwing jokes about sex slaves and only trusting the "brothers" of his kind.
Daniel Kaluuya did great which this is my first time seeing him perform on screen. Allison Williams did well as his girlfriend. Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener both were great and creepy with their characters.
Once the twist is revealed, it can be kind of disturbing about whats really going on. Without giving much away. Overall, Get Out is a great horror film. Director Jordan Peele may have a great start working on films. The suspense and funny moments were well balanced. The twist was surprising. The cast and acting were great. The plot and concept of interracial meeting the family and paranoia was entertaining. I definitely recommend the film if you are looking for suspense
