Enjoyable yet Flawed

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2017)

This is not really a horror film. More a suspense thriller with really over the top characters. Although the characters are a bit stretched, it's still an enjoyable film to watch.
Get Out takes a unique twist on white suburbanites who prefer their cultural diversity at a distance and in controlled numbers.
In addition, the film resists the temptation to play up these suburban fears by showing impoverished ghettos, street dealers, hustlers, and predictable scenes often used to highlight class struggles.
While Get Out moves along quite nicely with a strange uneasy tempo, the train slowly starts to derail from reality 3/4 of the way in. This is my only criticism of the movie. It just becomes too surreal and the film suffers for it.
This enticing suspenseful thriller falters as it make way for campy horror.
Is it believable? Yes and no.
Think of this film as one part Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, one part The Skeleton Key and one part Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre.
Since the storytelling is so unique and well put together, I'm certain viewers can forgive this lack of direction as it nears a rather over-the-top ending.
At the end of the day, Get Out is definitely a fresh perspective on an old problem so worth the 8 out of 10 rating I'm giving it!
