COMMUNITY REVIEWS

What in The.... submitted by Beth Manuel on July 13, 2017, 11:51am This film was definitely thought-provoking. Especially wondering how the story came to fruition, having heard that Jordan Peele wrote it a long time ago, before he got famous. The film begins with a mysterious kidnapping, and much later do we figure out who that victim was. So, that part was intriguing. There were some horrific scenes with enough comedic breaks to take away the intensity. It was an interesting commentary about our society through the lens of a black person, with awkward white-people social faux pas-ing. And more.It was freaky, y'all.

Very well made. submitted by ferielp on August 24, 2017, 2:06pm Aside from the sci-fi surgeries, it really captures the very real possible future a lot of us are afraid of. We as people of color might seem paranoid or as if we are too sensitive, but it's because unchecked, casual racism can lead to something much more terrifying.

Holy cow submitted by timdufresne on July 6, 2018, 9:07am A stunningly good indictment of the wide and complicated nature of race in the 21st century. Amazing action and horror, a little humor deployed perfectly.

Psychological Horror submitted by Meginator on July 17, 2018, 6:18pm I'm not usually one for horror films, but Get Out drew so much attention that I felt compelled to see it, and I'm very glad I did. The film's core metaphor may seem a bit on the nose at times, but only insofar as it's strikingly plausible, making explicit several implicit biases of our current social structure. Daniel Kaluuya's performance is outstanding, and the villains have a kind of chilling menace due to their otherwise ordinary tendencies; this film is an indictment of the familiar, and asks viewers to re-think what is really happening beyond the surface of the lies we tell ourselves about our true intentions. The film also succeeds in building tension, creating a lasting sense of discomfort that does not fade when the film is over; this is a story told with exquisite craft, and with lasting emotional power. Get Out is absolutely deserving of all of its accolades and is worth watching even for non-horror fans.

Thought Provoking submitted by lawrencekl57 on July 22, 2018, 4:37pm This movie provides a interesting commentary on race and how many view black people. Horrifying, funny, entertaining.... I was really rooting for it to win the oscar for best picture.

Great first film submitted by cherylo on July 29, 2018, 10:44am A thoughtful and well acted horror fable, and a great first picture for Jordan Peale. Some really good acting performances from a talented cast tackling important and tricky themes. It was clear that getting overall tone right was a struggle at points, particularly the ending, and there is not just one but several alternate endings. I preferred one of the more serious and less comedic endings myself.

Just awful! submitted by bookher on August 1, 2018, 3:45pm OMG! I should preface this by saying that I detest horror films of any kind and only watched this because of all the accolades it received but my gosh... I found the racism from a black person's view point interesting but this movie just spiraled out of control so fast into blood and gore horror that it I couldn't take it seriously anymore.

Stunning submitted by majean on August 9, 2018, 5:28pm A psychological thriller for our age! Intelligent and on point, this movie delivers some phenomenal performances. It deserves all the awards!

extra horrifying cuzza cultural truth submitted by lisa on August 21, 2018, 10:42pm funny too

Engaging submitted by calinescus on August 23, 2018, 2:47pm Thrilling, entertaining and thought provoking. I found myself really invested, rooting for the protagonist as the action picked up towards the end of the movie.

Worthy of rewatching submitted by lstorc on August 28, 2018, 12:44am This was a thoughtful, intense thriller. It gets better with each viewing, though the first time is most magnificent!

Intense submitted by yufamily on July 28, 2019, 4:18pm Definitely gives me the creeps.

A great psychological horror film submitted by dntanzer on August 26, 2019, 8:30pm I'm not usually a horror movie person but Get Out finds the perfect balance of suspense and interesting plot.

still amazing submitted by zaraz on August 2, 2022, 1:10am rewatched the other day after seeing Jordan Peele's newest flick, and I'm here to say that get out is still one of the best horror movies I've ever seen! I'm normally not the biggest horror fan but this film is truly the best. Peele is a master of his craft and Daniel Kaluuya's performance is unmatched in my opinion.
