Did not expect this to be as good as it was

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2018)

I really enjoyed this movie. I don't watch horror movies anymore (the world is horrific enough for me). But I took a chance on this one. There is a little bit of gore but really nothing that doesn't fit in.
I kind of saw the ending coming - I can't remember if I picked up on something out on social media or if I figured out what was happening. But I still didn't see it all coming so the twist was still kind of cool.
The acting was great, it really was the acting that made this movie so creepy and sinister so you KNOW something is going to happen and are expecting it but the tension keeps building.
The sunken place was creepy enough for me to be really freaked out for the hero, who would want to live their life there??? Death would be better. There is a lot of social commentary in this movie about race, elitism, the current tensions in the US between the haves and the have nots but it is done smoothly so that these big ideas and don't get in the way of the movie.
For his first time out Jordan Peele has hit a home run.
