Jordan Peele's timely delivered Get Out offers a harrowingly thought-provoking window into societal paranoia that dissects disturbing racial divides while issuing a suspensefully nerve-shredding, politically on-point tale saturated in tension.
If the strangely inhuman, almost robotic mannerisms of the creepily obedient housemaid don't disturb through striking historical relevance, then the mindless subservience of its groundskeepers and the frightening insights into falsely derived genetic theory surely will.
Get Out is a stinging, deeply unnerving social commentary that never lessens its bite. The disturbing tokenism of a black seemingly soulless guest, mechanically in spirit, illustrates, above all else, a horrifying sense of racial control. Let alone the cultist bidding process, which places a monetary value on human life.
Get Out is the harrowing realization of one person's deepest fears. The notion that those close may despise in disguise. As for me, it's the superficial family operating in character which causes optimal distress.
Surreptitiously loving under fake pretenses and the falsehoods of racial supremacy underpin Get Out's primary, thought-provoking assertions.
Utterly unapologetic in its approach, Peele seemingly stokes the fires of social disparity. But to an equal extent, Get Out also serves up moments of thrilling suspense, benefitting from powerful performances from
Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams, both of whom excel at the top of their game.
Packing a powerful political sting, impressive performances, and painfully suspenseful levels of paranoia, Get Out provides a must-watch for seeking something a little more on the cerebral side of horror.
