As you waver in its loathsome, slightly surreal but relatable atmosphere, you’ll sit adjacent to affectingly casual racism, your composure breaking down, your responses discombobulated.

Well-written with smart commentary, Get Out is the best horror movie of the past ten years and, outside of the genre, it's a damn good film.

Looked legitimately terrifying in the preview.

It won't open here in Japan for a year or two, and then all of the Japanese people will be confused as to who they're supposed to be cheering for him. Surprising to encounter racism against blacks here; you'd think they'd get it all out of their system between the Chinese and Koreans.

The line in the trailer "You know I would have voted for Obama for a third term" is magical.

Yeah, I'm stoked for this. And also I'm glad to see Jordan Peele kickoff a successful directorial career.

Man, this has been a great year for movies already, and we're not even two months past it.

Best movie to end with a white woman being strangled since End of Evangelion.

If anyone wants just a one sentence spoiler of the twist:

A cult of old white people are putting their brains into black people's bodies because black people are cooler, sexier, and more athletic.

yea i read a synopsis, sounds like a pretty original movie
and by the sounds of it lots of praise for Peele

Bebpo · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2017, 02:02:51 AM »

Theater was like half full on a saturday night ^^;

Movie was good, not great. That 3/4 100% RT kinda feel. It's a PG-13ish horror film like Light's Out. It's horror, but not too scary, suspenseful or violent; it's funny but not too funny; it plays more like a twilight zone movie. There's some great social commentary, especially the very first scene which is striking. Otherwise it's worth a watch, but almost matinee movie. I like Jordan Peele and hopefully he improves as he ages and writes/directs more.

mormapope · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2017, 03:01:28 AM »

Saw it opening night. A lot smarter and more subdued than the trailers made it out to be. After seeing it once, you pick up on a ton if stuff you didnt notice before. Lots of dialog and character interactions become neater.

Horror parts were hilarious to me, really satirical and over the top. First hypnosis scene with Chris was incredibly sad

Bebpo · « **Reply #23 on:** February 26, 2017, 05:23:48 PM »

Yeah, that part about the things you notice is spot on and good. I definitely enjoyed thinking back to some of the interactions after the end. I think, just personally as a horror buff, I wanted the movie to be a little more scary/suspenseful. Like I kinda wish it either played it more straight (but subtley satirical) and went full on House of the Devil freaky shit, or it went more comedy satire and was constantly funny. It's still good though and easily recommendable. Hope it does well enough that Peele can keep directing.

$30 million opening weekend on a minuscule budget, so I think it'll do just fine.

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #26 on:** February 27, 2017, 03:45:34 PM »

Saw it yesterday. Fucking great!

Probably like a 9/10 for me. The "twist" was neat.

Vertigo · « **Reply #27 on:** February 27, 2017, 05:21:35 PM »

Great movie. Very scary and funny an incredibly hard balance to pull off correctly.

And as a black man some parts hit a little close to home. I want to watch it again as so much background stuff was dropped in casually. And I was rethinking about certain parts this morning that take on a whole different angle when viewed with knowledge.

Most delightfully uncomfortable cinematic experience since I saw this movie in a cinema full of nothing but white women at a film festival in Europe.

Yeah, one thing I was wondering watching it is if the movie is scarier if you're black. I'd be surprised if the answer is yes tbh, because the reason I didn't think it was really particular scary was you can tell from earlier on and the trailers that the movie is gonna be goofy and spoof/satire, so for me it was hard to get scared or be in suspense too much because I knew whatever was happening was gonna be so over the top it's silly. Again, I think if it played it more straight like House of the Devil it could have been freaky as hell and socially relevant.

Gosh dang, there was some Edgar Wright level of cleverness with the...

constant foreshadowing. How even miniscule details add to the character development and to the illustration of the nature of the threat.

So the film is waaaaaay smarter than most genre movies, but its not at all pretentious. And Jordan Peele has an amazingly strong and confident sense of direction for a guy who's never made a movie before. Its obvious that he's got some pristine, classical influences (Polanski, De Palma), which is unusual for a guy who didn't really live through that era. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised about Peele's thriller bona fides, because it wouldn't be the first time that he's shown such genre dexterity.
