The Most Original Horror Film in Years

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2017)

Talk about a major batten switch for a celebrity. Jordan Peele who is usually known for acting in comedies, goes the complete other way. However this film isn't all scary like The Conjuring. But what this film does masterfully is building up the tension. This film made me feel very uncomfortable and very uneasy, which is what it's meant to do and does it to a T. In terms of acting Catherine Keener, and Daniel Kaluuya give the best performances. Keener is very subtle and slow with her words making her character very creepy. And Kaluuya gives a frightful and ultimately terrifying performance and plays a character you actually rout for. If you are a horror film fanatic, this is what you're looking for. The only flaws are that the villains are killed off way too easily, making the last fight for survival a weak one. But for the fact that this is Peele's first film to direct, this is as good of a debut as you can ask for. I can't wait to see what else Peele can do. Check it out, or get out! Now to grade.
