"Get Out" is a hard movie to categorize. On one hand it seems to be a satirical horror movie and at the same time it seems to want to skewer white/black social issues. A little odd there. Sort of dangerous in that you have to have just the right balance to make it all work. And Jordan Peele, the director, on his first time out has done just that.
The name Jordan Peele may sound familiar to some as he is one half of the comedy team of Key & Peele. I have never thought they were funny. And perhaps Peele would agree as he is now branched out into the film industry.
This movie begins with a black man named Chris played by Daniel Kaluuya being dragged by his white girlfriend played by Allison Williams(the daughter of broadcaster Brian Williams) into the suburbs of an ultra white community to meet her family. Naturally he is very nervous, especially when he finds out his girlfriend has not yet told his prospective in-laws that he is black. Shades of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Yet, soon Chris will find his reception in a white community to be the least of his worries.
"Get Out" is the sort of movie that creeps up on you. By this I mean the audience member is slowly taken unawares by what is really going on because they are mezmorized by the director, much like a magician would keep his audience off balance. Better for both in order for them to completely mystify the audiences and arrive at a stunning unraveling of the trick...or plot, in this case.
This movie could easily become a cult classic.
