Review of Get Out (2017) by Tanner M — 14 Jun 2017

"The Mind is a terrible thing to waste". The idea of a comedy star writing and directing a horror film was strange to me, but Jordan Peele broke my expectations. This film was excellent. The best film of 2017!! The plot is simply this "Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parent's for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined." This film destroyed my expectations. Jordan Peele did an excellent job writing and directing a truely terrifying horror film. This film had everything perfect. The acting was excellent, the soundtrack was so well composed, the directing was excellent. An all round excellent film. Daniel Kaluuya was excellent in this film. He played the character so well. I see a bright acting career. Jordan Peele also has a bright career in writing and directing, this film is an excellent example of how amazing horror films can be without being cliche. The soundtrack was so chilling and fit the film. The runtime was perfect and the pace of the film was excellent. Overall, an amazing example of horror at its finest. Definitely one of the best horror films in the last 17 years, possibly even more. The best film of 2017 this definitely is.

Rating: 10/10.
