Horror and comedy have blended well since around the beginning of film for one key reason: the release that both allow from the audience. The building set-up is not unlike the quiet before the jump scare. Both utilize equations of timing to provoke an unconscious reaction. Because of these similarities, the horror-comedy is a well-tapped ...

~ NO SPOILERS ~ This is an extremely impressive film from Peele. Its smart and knows it-- teasing you along the way of what is to unfold at the film's climax. The main character is a photographer goes to visit his GF's house and all-white family. Things are not as they appear at first glance, and as the film progresses it becomes even...

**Opening Remarks** I went out to see this film armed only with the snippets I watched in the form of television commercials and YouTube ads. The film had a very interesting look and that really caught my attention. I noticed that the film focused primarily on race, which seemed like an interesting concept for a horror/psychological t...

Perhaps it was the months of hype-related-preamble I had before getting the chance to see _Get Out_ that caused me to be not entirely blown away by it, or maybe it just doesn't resonate with me the same way it did with its audience at large. Either way, I was still very impressed with Jordan Peele's directorial debut. It's a great comb...

**Now you're in the sunken place!** Not all the directional debut sees this kind of welcome from the audience. Yeah, Jordan Peele had written and directed it. It is similar to the 90s style mystery-thrillers. Definitely must see for the 90s, 80s guys. It kind of looked like a black comedy, but I guess that's not they had preferred. Esp...

The hypnotism aspect changed the tone of the film, even though something menacing was expected all along. The end shriveled into routine gore and gun violence. The racial implications may make some feel guilty. Good enough overall but also overrated. Ms. Williams may be more than another NBC 'talent', time will tell.

I loved this movie. I can’t express how happy and excited this movie made me for reasons I’ll talk about here… Most haven't seen, but this is what I was talking about yesterday with my review on Brightburn (on Letterboxd). It was a horror movie with a good idea bad bad execution with no plot or character development to help us care abo...

**An excellent film, which deserves our attention.** I saw this movie yesterday. I've been thinking about it for a while, and yesterday I took the opportunity to do so. I already had a notion that it was a very successful film, and that it was successful at the box office and with specialized critics. For a horror movie, that's pretty ...

Man all you fans are going to be embarrassed once racism is bad again... remember back in the day where we were supposed to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin? That attitude is going to come back, in many cases it never died, and even though the faux progressives are pushing to judge people by ...

Uncomfortably entertaining! The reason for the aforementioned is that <em>'Get Out'</em> sets up the premise so, so well and you are just waiting for the penny to drop, so all the events leading up to the reveal are very awkward - which only adds to the overall enjoyment in seeing it all unfold onscreen. I've seen Daniel Kaluuya in ...

Not surprisingly, "Chris" (Daniel Kaluuya) is apprehensive of his first meeting with the parents of his girlfriend "Rose" (Allison Williams) as the couple arrive at their remote country home. Now what we can plainly see from the outset comes as a bit of a shock to the folks, but they are cordial enough and it seems that maybe this weekend...

Racist movie from a racist director Jordan Peele. Movie basically is giving us a message that all white people are bad and evil and all black people are the good and great ones. It's a trash movie and should be left in a trashcan.
