I Got 5 On It

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2019)

Jordan Peele is a genius! I see so many negative reviews of this movie, but it seems like most of them didn't understand the point of the movie. This movie was never meant to be a campy horror film. It was meant to be a horror film that resonates with the audience because there a simple truths of the reality of the human experience within the film. Whether it's the overarching theme of duplicity and duality or the more minor themes of self entrapment, it transcends the traditional horror slasher rules and makes you think. The movies isn't scary until you truly think about. You essentially begin to jump down your own rabbit hole of conclusions and theories. I also love how Peele hasn't really come out and explained many things in the film because he leaves it up to viewers interpretation. Initially I rated this movie an 8/10, but after rewatching and seeing the cadence of different shots and breadcrumbs within the imagery of the film, I've changed my rating to 10/10. Way to go, Peele!
