Relevant Horror trip

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2017)

I was curious about the hype. While I don't think it is an astonishing film or anything huge or completely new, I cannot deny its a refreshingly original approach of the racism topic. It is like 12 Years a Slave as a horror film, in some ways at least. Also the twists the film contained kept me interested throughout the whole time (although the midsection had some lengths, but that was essential for the ending). The acting was solid. I really liked Daniel Kaluuya who I foresee to have a great career in Hollywood. Such a charismatic and expressional actor who hit all the right tones with his performance. Also Allison Williams was decent and charismatic. We will see more of her too. Always nice to see Catherine Keener. Bradley Whitford was also fine. Caleb Landry Jones creepy as usual but he really is good at that. Would make a great Joker one day. Great soundtrack that was only a small part of the excellent symbolism provided by Jordan Peele throughout the film. The screenplay was the MVP for sure. The ending revelation was a bit too out of this world and exaggerated for me, the rest worked as a fine horror drama with a lot of depths.
