Review of Get Out (2017) by Dann M — 12 Jan 2018
From Jordan Peele comes the political horror film Get Out. When Chris goes on a weekend getaway with his white girlfriend to meet her family he gets a strange vibe from the black servants, and starts to suspect that something sinister is going on after he recognizes a fellow guest who appears to have been brainwashed.
The storytelling is especially well-done and has a Shyamalan-like feel; slowly turning a normal situation into something frightening and bizarre. However, the political theme of the "post-racial lie" is a bit muddled and doesn't really add much to the film (which works better as straight horror).
Yet while it has some weaknesses, Get Out is a provocative and disturbing film that delivers a fresh take on some classic horror themes.
