Get Out!

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2019)

Like many whom saw the movie I was quite intrigued by the trailer released last December. It provided a great preview for what I thought would be a rather unique viewing experience. I went in with high expectations and was met with a poor storyline and poor character selection. Luckily, the actors and actresses in the movies, especially the lead, were able to carry the film.
I am not a movie snob. I expected a horror movie that would be a new entry to the genre. But even horror movies f9r the most part have a plot and characters upon which to build around. "US" felt like an experiment in the horror genre for Peele. In my opinion, he took his shot and missed.
To sum it up, please don't put this movie on a pedestal based on the success of "Get Out". They are two completely different movies. I do suggest seeing the movie if you like the actors and actresses. But if you are looking for some real scares check your bank account after hitting the snack bar at the movies.
