Not Quite What I Expected from the Trailer's

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2019)

While it's more of a horror film than Get Out, it's not your typical modern horror film of the cheap thrills or gross out schools. It's a very well paced film that sets up the story and the characters, while slowly ratcheting up the tension - much like A Quiet Place did. Along the way we get some nice bits of humor (mostly thanks to or at the expense of Winston Duke) and nice depiction of family dynamics.
It's beautifully shot with an effective score and some well used songs. And while the plot is far-fetched it is still done in convincing fashion within the context of the film - again somewhat like A Quiet Place.
We get a really wonderful performance by Lupita Nyong'o who has once again managed to totally transform herself for her roles. She is supported by uniformly good supporting cast but it's mostly her film.
While some may say the reveal was obvious I thought it was nicely handled and well earned.
