This was a comedy, right?

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2019)

Okay. Just like what I said, I'm going to talk about how I thought this was a comedy, or at least a horror-comedy. I'm surprised that this is a 100% horror film. Am I missing something? Literally, I was laughing all throughout the film. While watching, I was like, Wait. I thought this was horror. Oh, it's Peele. So maybe it's not. But I heard people say it's so scary. I was just confused the entire time. And the whole plot itself is funny. Oh, there are tunnels in the United States with no purpose at all, let's make a movie where there are actually thousands of crazy people there. That's a skit right there. And it didn't make any sense at all, so I was like, Well. It's comedy. I guess that's the punchline. So I finished the movie and checked online the genre of the film. It's legit horror? I'm so confused. I'm only writing this because that's how confused I am. I know that on horror films there are some funny scenes sometimes, but this film. It was 50% funny. The comedic timing was there and had Peele's style all over it. Like how the first shadow people were killed. The sound. The timing. Everything. The guy was dragged by a boat. Come on. That was funny. Maybe I'm going crazy and that's the point. Overall, this movie just didn't make sense. The acting was superb, but the plot was trying too hard to go somewhere. If it's a horror-comedy, as I thought it was, like Zombieland, then it's amazing. But as a serious horror film? Being compared to Get Out? What? I'm so confused. The cinematography and sound made it so creepy, I get it, but to be compared to an actual horror film, I'm so baffled. Even if you remove the comedy part, maybe I'm not smart enough to see the logic of the movie because it does not make any sense at all. And the twist in the end was predictable. I was so ready to be scared. I like that it made me laugh.
