Piecing The Puzzle Together

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2017)

Get Out was one of those movies that I, personally, couldn't tell if it was going to be even the slightest thing toward a good movie... I was wrong. Jordan Peele comes out and does a splendid job with Get Out. The camera angles, and great work with lighting and display, add on to the suspenseful build of the movie. The reviews on this movie have been nothing but positive, and this one is no different!
Although not having any "big name stars" on the casting sheet, those to me are usually the best horrors/thrillers. The ability to make someone pop on screen, and learn about that character just through dialogue is ornately done, and makes the conversation roll like R's off the tongue. The appliance of "social flaws", where its jokingly basically "white people who say they aren't racist, but really are" is indeed an underlying theme throughout the movie. Some comedic relief, and references get a giggle out of myself and the audience, but do not let the name "Jordan Peele" trick you into assuming this is purely Satire and comedy, when instead it is a borderline-flawless thriller/mystery.
This movie's ability to allow us as the audience to fill in the missing holes, and "piece together the puzzle" is something I value GREATLY out of a thriller. Being my favorite genre, along with horrors, and having seen so many, it is hard to notch a solid result. With that being said, this movie hit every peg on my list, and impressed from start to finish. (AGE: 15+ for grotesque scenes/language/some slighted gestures)
