Get Out: A Better Thriller

Rating: 7/10 (19 March 2017)

Get Out is an all new horror film directed by (yes, the comedian) Jordan Peele. It was very interesting to see that a comedian had directed this "horror" movie and executed it so well. Surprisingly, I wasn't necessarily scared! I was more in shock if anything. This movie seems to poignantly point out horror themed references but it fails to truly make them remarkable. It seems like at first that it doesn't take itself seriously, but some scenes just get more and more peculiar. While it's a weird movie; I can agree it's easily one of the best thrillers you can see this year. It definitely has an idea that strikes out at you in expectations. But I feel it's failed to truly stand as a horror film. Is this a recommended movie? Yes, for what it is. But would I classify this as a horror film? No. I would not. The acting was great and the story was so-so, but in all, it definitely is worth the watch!
