Good for a horror movie post 2000's

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2018)

Get Out is a decent horror movie, better than average, but not without its set backs.
It absolutely didn't deserve an oscar, let alone for screenplay, but it's not the worst choice in the world at the end of the day.
For a debut film this is pretty admirable and could mean a lot for horror movies, black people and the general film industry, but aside from the politics of the film, it really is just an ok horror.
The VVitch and It Follows are much, much better horror films; deserving of much more praise, but because THIS horror film has a discussion about race it gets millions of dollars and awards and praise. Is this a bad thing?
Not really. It's better than giving an award to something like another shat out Blumhouse/James Wan sequel with no talent or effort put into it.
Basically, the best thing about the film is the actors and their performances, especially Daniel Kaluuya, who is as excellent as always.
The worst thing about the film would probably have to be the "horror" elements since it's incredibly one- note and unoriginal in this department. Not saying it's bad, but it doesn't do anything the horror genre hasn't seen a bunch of times already.
It's good, not great. (But still kinda cool a horror film won an oscar since the last was in 2000 with The Sixth Sense.)
