Get Out (2017)

Get Out is a horror films about a black man (Daniel Kaluuya) who travels to the country with his white girlfriend (Allison Williams) to meet her wealthy parents for the first time, and that's about all the setup I feel I can give it. This race relations themed horror movie is creepy in a way I don't think I've ever encountered before, and that mood is what dominated my thinking throughout the viewing experience, I was just creeped out. However only after leaving the theater did I begin to see what a brilliant black comedy it was, along with being an unusually smart horror offering. A fitting directorial debut for funny man Jordan Peele. Worth seeing in the theater  ****
