Great camera work and character storyline.

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2020)

Watched "Get Out" a few months after it's release on streaming platforms. I didn't know what to expect since the only things I had seen from Jordan Peele were comedies. After sitting down with my fiance and getting a plate full of pizza we were expecting an entertaining night for sure. The beginning starts off with some entertaining banter about Rose's Parents being over the top accepting of her new black boyfriend. Then the trip their begins and things seem to take on a serious tone, throughout the movie I had kept asking myself "Is this a comedy or a horror movie?". Close to the ending scene I realize that the movie was supposed to be "Horror" or in the least a "Thriller" movie. After my first viewing I then the next night re-watched it knowing it's supposed to be scary but couldn't get into it.
I think the movie was entertaining, and I understand the racial undertones it was putting across, however I don't believe it did well in any category. Watched as a comedy there is just not enough funny moments to make it worth while. Watched as a horror/thriller I don't believe the "scary" scenes were scary or frequent enough to make it re-watchable. It's definitely an interesting movie and I know that horror and comedy are very subjective, however I expected better from Peele.
