Get Out [Blu-ray]

When this first came out---all I heard was people (who likely never saw it) bad-mouthing it as some BLM based driven move and just an agenda. Finally bought a copy (April 2025) and this is no such thing---Wonderful movie and acted very well....spooky in the way it tugs at the nerves, and plot deep enough to be worthy of a Hitchcock move. Remove any social aspect from you mind---creepy film and well worth the purchase.

Very good movie. Ending unexpected. Highly recommend .

I loved this movie! It makes me think twice about visiting friends who live out in the boonies. ;)

Perfect for family night

Good movie.

Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and Rose (Allison Williams) are the perfect couple. They’re in love and ready for the next big step: meeting Rose’s parents for the weekend. Chris has nothing to worry about. He’s a successful photographer, lives in a beautiful loft in the city, and has an adorable pet dog. What parent wouldn’t love him? There’s a problem: he’s African American… on his way to meeting two middle-aged Caucasians. Rose isn’t worried. Her parents are new-age and progressive. They’re lame and embarrassing, but they’re not bad people. It’s all good!Something is off the moment Chris enters the Armitage’s country home though. Almost every word that comes out of Dean’s mouth (Bradley Whitford) has racist undertones, and his wife Missy (Catherine Keener) is preoccupied with Chris’s smoking habit. She suggests hypnotism — part of her psychological practice — but he declines. There’s a weekend party that Rose knew nothing about, and all the guests are old people who seem a little too fascinated with Chris. And of course, there are the cringy “I love Tiger Woods“ type of conversations. Then there’s the “help.” They’re all African American, all strange-looking, with an almost ethereal quality to them. Chris is uncomfortable, and that’s an understatement. He has every reason to feel uneasy. Something IS off at the Armitage house, and he’s about to find out just how bad it’s about to get for him.I want to give nothing away. If you haven’t seen this film, then you’re better off going in with no preconceived notions. All I can tell you is that this is one of the creepiest and most symbolic horror films I have seen in recent date! It’s the kind of horror that sneaks up on you as if from nowhere. It doesn’t contain gore, random jump-scares, or other tried-and-true horror tropes (OK, there are some tropes, but only the good ones). It triggers you to the core, making you squirm with all the built-up tension. To be honest, this is more of a Psychological Thriller than a full-on horror, and it’ll resonate to those who loved THE SHINING, THE STEPFORD WIVES or THE SIXTH SENSE. The acting is spot on, the tension almost tangible. So much symbolism and plot subliminals. This is a “thinker’s thriller,” one that would make you want to watch repeatedly.I love Jordan Peele. I’m a huge fan since his MAD TV days. He and Keegan are so talented, but I always had a softness for Peele. While Keegan-Michael Key is the bigger “showman” of the two, Jordan Peele is the more creative one. He’s so versatile! He seems to enjoy thought-provoking material, and I can’t wait to watch his other movies. US is on my to-watch list. Now that I’m visiting family and friends during the holidays, I can kick back and watch stuff out of enjoyment, and not just as work. I can sit back, visit people, wear my “guest room clothes,” most of which is too big on me now (woo-hoo!), and enjoy binge-watching the way it should be!Downsides? I wanted more light comic moments from Chris’s best friend, Rod (Lil Rel Howery). Such an awesome character! Five super-delicious Minty-Sweet Mocha lattes!
