Enjoyed it more after I left the theater

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2019)

Initially I wanted to see this film to support the "Black Panther" cast members, along with Jordan Peele, the latter of which I thoroughly enjoyed in "Key & Peele." "Get Out" was cool, but I was not nearly as crazy about it as others. And I wasn't sure if Lupita Nyong'o could pull off a horror flick, but off I went. Without giving away spoilers, Adelaide had a traumatic experience as a child during a carnival. It left her not talking for quite some time and seeming "different" than her usual self. This little girl evolves into a grown woman who still has a fear of carnivals, beaches and that neighborhood. So of course her family decides to go back and visit. (This makes no sense, but whatevs, gotta have the plot.) And not even a few hours into them being there, the scares happen: First a missing son and then the doppelgangers in the front yard. There's no way to go any further without spoilers. But I was watching the film thinking "what am I watching? why is this so weird? And why did this film have to make me creeped out by The Luniz and Janelle Monae at the same time?" I didn't jump a whole lot, but I did jump.
But what made me give this film nine stars was the ending, which lead to countless Twitter debates and Reddit discussions about how everyone interpreted the film. Their analysis of the film makes me want to go see it again to see all the hints that I either completely overlooked the first time or did not see them in "this" way at the time.
For that alone, I'd have to give this film a high rating. As far as The Luniz song, I love that Numskull said this song being released during this film was the best thing to him since his kids were born. And the remix video they made in 2018 is fun to watch, too.
