Not Bad: Good and Creative Story, Suspense Somewhat Ruined by Trailer.

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2017)

With the large advertising budget, there's a good chance you've seen the trailer, and there's also a good chance you just saw the IMDb trailer, but I need to preface that the best viewing experience will be found if you know nothing about the story beforehand. (I will not talk about any specific events or characters in the movie.)
Story: 'Get Out' is a great 'journey-type' horror movie that is most strong and reliant on its tone and build-up. The movie is very good in these aspects, and makes the whole narrative well-done overall because of it, even withstanding a weaker ending in my opinion. But that will happen with a lot of the aforementioned 'journey-type' horror movies. Essentially things build-up and build-up to a certain point, and the ending releases everything. Regardless of what the ending is like, that journey is what holds the primary value. (Ex. The Shining (1980), The Witch (2016).) In that sense, I will leave off saying in watching this movie for its story, it's good but not great.
Cinematography: Scenery and sets are really well-shot in this movie. Some events in the latter-half of the film have settings that really stand-out, especially on a second watch. Most of 'Get Out' is shot on one property with a large house and yard surrounded by forest. Scenes inside the 'office' and the basement are prevalent scenes when it comes to cinematography, among others. I will say that the camera-work is good overall but it doesn't utilize any elements to establish any more suspense or creepiness outside of the script and some really good acting. (More or less these statements apply to the former-half of the movie, because there are some creepy shots in the latter.)
Film Score: Even as a lover of music in movies, I didn't feel much from this track. The score is somewhat generic but well-used, so it didn't impact the merit of the film, but it could have earned a higher rating from me if it did stand-out.
Overall: I recommend this movie to anyone that can enjoy a good suspense-filled movie. Even though it is weird and a bit twisted on a superficial level, it's not very bad whatsoever and other than some language. (And yes, there's some practical blood effects but that just makes the film better in my taste.) I would even recommend this to younger (13+) and more general audiences alike, it's not a very hard 'R' to me. It definitely doesn't beat out 2016's 'The Witch', which it's most comparable to in tone, but it is a very solid movie.
