Review of Get Out (2017) by Andrew C — 13 Jul 2017

I did not find anything clever or original in this film, although it did progress at a good pace and the acting wasn't terrible. The plot was predictable as you could see the plot twist ending coming from around 1/3 of the way through.

I found the main character's development unrealistic in the way he began as a mild-mannered Everyman and in the final 20 mins became a homicidal maniac killing everybody he meets in an attempt to escape the building.

Also disappointing how before the final showdown they had one of the villains literally sit in a chair opposite the main character and explain the plot, just in case the audience is so blind they don't get it.

Not the 'genre redefinition' that critics have praised this movie to be.
