Get Out Review


Finished watching Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele and staring LaKeith Stanfield, Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones and Lil Rel Howery. The film opens with a man (LaKeith Stanfield) being kidnapped after accidentally walking down a wrong road. The film then jumps to the main story as photographer Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) is visited by his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams) as the two pack for a trip to Rose's parents house for Chris to meet them for the first time. After dealing with running over a deer Chris meets Rose's mum (Catherine Keener) dad (Bradley Whitford) and brother (Caleb Landry Jones) the night before a big gathering of local people that all have an intriguing hidden agenda linking each of them together. Overall this was a great film as it weaves a very intriguing and creepy story thanks to the way the film builds tension and allows things to slowly unravel before reaching its conclusion with some the addition of some great acting in scenes that bring some get emotion of the characters to life. There is a surprising amount of comedic moments within the film thanks to Chris' friend Ron (Lil Rel Howery) by the way he interactions with Chris and Rose over the phone and the way Ron reacts to what he's learns about the goings on are incredibly hilarious in parts and is also feels part of the film's main story and not out of place one bit. 8/10.
