Get Out (Horror flick)
- Page 1 of 1
I am not a huge fan of horror movies but after seeing this trailer I was intrigued
Written and directed by comedian Jordan Peele... It kinda feels like horror movie all black people would make if given a chance to. lol
The concept seems fairly decent depending on what the twist is... here is a write up of it

A young African-American visits his Caucasian girlfriend's family estate where he learns that many of its residents, who are black, have gone missing, and he soon learns the horrible truth when another frantic African-American warns him to "get out". Terror ensues, as Chris must face up to the most terrifying of history's real-life monsters: The white man.
Jordan Peele gave out a good interview about his thoughts about how close he felt comedy and horror were...going to try to find it
Yea the trailer they launched pretty much showed the entire movie but I'm definitely still seeing it
That one cool white person at the party who isn't a racist or idiot? He's got no problems using the fucked up system that he's well aware of to take advantage of you.
So good, need to see it twice

By Moris Go To PostThere's tons to unpack from the movie, we're spoiler tagging?Yeah just to be safe. Still early and all
& Peele was on one with this shit whew. I didn't think he had it in him to make something this clever. I'm swearing off white girls after seeing this😤
sike I'm playin

His friend coming through at the end, everyone needs a Rodney. I was dying at her sipping milk and listening to Caucasian music

Eating fruit loops one at a time with her hands and sipping milk from a glass. Crazy bitch 😂. Then googled "top NCAA prospects" too lmao
What other movie does a cop car pull up and you think "this just went from bad to worse" for the good guy? the dread I felt for Chris that in most other scenarios would be relief
This was crazy to watch given I'd been through this exact same scenario. Drove up to meet my white girls family who lived in upstate new york in some deep woods suburbs. Literally the first thing we saw when we got there was a deer hung up by his neck getting carved up. A crazy brother who took me on a solo atv ride at night at full speed around trees without a helmet. Too many memories.
I really need to find an overweight comedic black best friend asap too. Harder to find than you think.

I mean he'd still be pretty fucked once the cops eventually would have showed up and found a burnt down house full of dead white people and him being the last known person there. Also the whole brain transfer thing doesn't make any sense when you think about it. The family's grandparents wanted their minds transferred into younger black bodies so they could live on as servants? What?
I had a really great experience watching this though, definitely recommend catching it in a crowded theater. My theater applauded every time he killed one of the white folks

If the cops show up to a house where there's a dead surgeon in scrubs, a man missing the top of his skull and the woman in his car with the crazy scar along her head, as well as two missing persons, I think his story starts to pan out. But I was worried he'd be dead before he could even say anything.
I don't think the process made their brains any younger so while they were more physically able their mental states were still in decline, the jazz musician from the beginning seemed to have more of his wits about him than the grand parents, I assume that the old white guy who took his body wasn't as old as the grand parents.
Saw it this weekend. The writing is pretty brilliant insofar as it carefully traces the dance steps of just about every liberal white dialogue about race I've been apart of. The lillywhite theater I was in seemed to love the comic relief cousin(?) character which felt pretty telling.
I'll have have to watch this one again pretty soon.

Seems like he has more of these types of horror/thriller movies on deck

For the first two acts of Get Out, first-time writer/director Jordan Peele shows a decent amount of skill in creating a generally creepy, unsettling atmosphere, and instilling within us a genuine feeling of unease, as he sets up the story of Chris, a young black photographer meeting his white girlfriend's parents for the first time, as he spends a weekend at their large, seemingly idyllic suburban home. Some awkward, possibly unintentional racial tension happens between Chris, the family, and their stuffy, upper-class neighbors (almost all white themselves, of course), but nothing really out-and-out threatening happens during this part of the film, and save for the occasionally disconcerting moment, you could almost fool yourself into thinking that Get Out is basically just a 2017 remake of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?.
That is, except for the continually odd behavior of all the other black people in the neighborhood, including Walter, the landscaper, Georgina, the family housekeeper, and Logan, a neighbor married to a white woman much, much older than himself, as all of them either act nothing like "black people", or just nothing like people, period. The two domestic servants behave like, well, a white person's idea of how a black servant should act, unfailingly chipper and docile towards everyone else, but in a way that's incredibly stiff and unnatural at the same time, as if there's something just underneath their surface just screaming to get out, which hints at a 3rd act twist that I genuinely didn't see coming at all whatsoever (hint: it's not the twist you guess at first, believe me).
Which brings me to the bonkers final act of the film, which is gory, over-the-top, B-Horror fun, and helps to retroactively justify everything that happened before it. Don't get me wrong, as, like I wrote earlier, Peele does do a pretty good job with the surprisingly subdued beginning and middle of the film, which, for basic story reasons, just wouldn't have worked in a more in-your-face style (an early jump scare involving an animal is more Peele awaringly mocking the tendency of Horror hacks to put such unnecessary scares in their films, rather than him being such a hack himself). That being said, even though the overall film is less than 2 hours, the pacing early on is still a bit too slow at times, with a reliance on a somewhat vague atmosphere of unease, with few concrete story developments happening, all of which are elements that could've contributed to a disappointing film if the finale didn't end up delivering on the overall potential of the experience.
However, like I said, the 3rd act of the film does end up delivering, throwing us a relatively novel story curveball that makes us reassess everything we've seen up to that point, while simultaneously balancing that out with the bloody, shocking jolts we've been waiting for, but in a way that prevents the movie from becoming mindless schlock, as the visceral horrors are happening side-by-side onscreen at the same time as the intriguing new story details are developing, sharing space with them and adding a whole new dimension to the overall experience. In the end, Get Out isn't a perfect film, as it obviously took a while to start clicking with me, and if you wanna nitpick, a certain comedy relief supporting character sticks out like he's a sore thumb left over from an unaired sketch on Peele's old show, but it's ultimately pretty skilled, scary material, and am now wondering who else in the TV skits world could possibly break out into Horror films; someone from SNL, start working on a ghost movie, asap.

Wow. My theater was fun as hell and actually packed last night. Had a bunch of old black women sitting next to us, commenting on shit throughout the film that had me dieing laughing.
I went in skeptical as all hell, but left incredibly impressed. The way he elegantly danced with tone, kept the difference between acts 1 -2 and 3 from feeling incredibly lopsided. The imagery at work leaves a lot of unspoken coded language to unpack and is genuinely well shot. For me, it's easily one of the most relateable films that I've ever seen.
If I had a nitpick, it would be that in order to overcome certain tropes it becomes super convenient in spots in the third act.
Scariest part was easily the end, when the police showed up. I was fully expecting the worst to happen.
