A Relentless Horror Movie Experience

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2019)

Walking out of the theater, half of people sounded absolutely in love with this movie, half of people seemed annoyed with the third act, but every single person in the theater was GLUED to the screen during the entire movie. I personally loved this movie, it felt like a post-modern classic by the nature of Jordan Peele's directing. All three acts are amazing in a completely original, terrifying, hilarious way.
There are elements of pure horror in there just as much as psychological thriller - the movie has both small stakes and large stakes in different acts, creating a film that is extremely personal but simultaneously all-encompassing - the family dynamic, my favorite part of the movie, is amazing. Shoutout to Elizabeth Short, Winston Duke, and Lupita Nyongo for some incredible, seriously disturbing acting, and shoutout to the kids for the best child acting I've ever seen. If I were to compare this movie to anything I've seen before, I would call it a post-modern pure horror/comedy classic in the style of cabin in the woods, the Babadook, or You're Next, with the raw emotion of films like get out or split. Love it like me or be confused by it, either way it's worth the watch for sure. Especially watch it in a theater.
