Get Out (2017): Movie Review

This movie made a lot of buzz, having 99 percent on rotten tomatoes and making a lot of money for Blumhouse Productions and Universal. It became some kind of phenomena. It is now the movie, which is called original, fresh and absolutely creative. The idea behind this script is innovative and new. The story drives smoothly, but the filmmaking by Jordan Peele seems usual. It is an easy-watching film, even though it is a horror. And the horror is more connected to the story, not jump-scares. There are almost no jump-scares, the whole idea of this movie being terrifying is based completely on you experience watching the film. 

Jordan Peele makes you care for the characters. They are not just some puppets to play with, they are people to care for, to one point in the movie, I can't tell, because of the non-spoiler review, but there is a twist, in which everything changes. It wasn't spoiled in the trailer, so even the marketing did play a good hand for this movie to be successful. 

So, basically the main character is Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), who is dating Rose (Allison Williams). They are in love, so their relationship comes to the point, when they go to meet her parents in their residence. Ever since they go on this little journey, strange things start to happen. The whole plot is not revealed very quick, Jordan Peele keeps us wondering about what actually might be happening, and if you pay attention, you might estimate some plot twists, but Peele goes deeper, beyond my, for instance, imagination and brings some really crazy ideas, which are mind-blowing good, very original. And that anticipation of the reveal comes after the characters are developed and well presented by some good dialogs and very well directed scenes. This whole movie is actually so well directed, it is very enjoyable to watch. 

You might find the ending to be disturbing, but it doesn't contain any nasty surprises. This movie hooks and doesn't let go until the end; very well made movie.
