Get Out (2017)
Written & directed
by Jordan Peele this film stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams,
Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener. A young African-American man
is nervous about meeting his rich, white girl friend's parents for
the first time.
Taking inspiration
from The Stepford Wives (1975) this film explores racism, especially
that from supposedly liberal leaning types, in some interesting ways.
As a horror film the direction uses a lot of genre cliches and maybe
is not as scary as it could be but the satire/social commentary is
excellent as well as the parts where the film focuses on being
unsettling rather than out right scary. I also think that maybe the
film makers maybe shied from a slightly more impactful ending by
going with a happy ending but over all this film is highly worth
watching.
4/5
