“I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could.”
Back in 2017, Jordan Peele dropped one of the most unnerving, terrifying, and genuinely harrowing horror movies to come out of cinema in the past decade.
Get Out is intelligent, slick, and actually fairly hilarious in parts despite the fact that it is also absolutely horrifying.
Essentially, it’s a great film – and it’s just dropped on Netflix. So you’ve no excuse for not having seen it anymore.
If you haven’t got a clue what Get Out is about don’t try and guess because you’ll most likely be a million miles away.
The film follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and Rose (Allison Williams) and they take what is supposed to be a chill enough trip down the country so Chris can meet Rose’s parents for the first time.
When they’re on the way, Chris expresses concern that his new girlfriend has yet to inform her seemingly-liberal parents (who voted for Obama twice) that he is, in fact, black.
Rose tells him not to worry and that everything’ll be totally grand – even though it absolutely will not be because these awful white people are doing awful things.
Get Out has got a 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a load of extremely positive reviews, and a superb cast that’ll leave you wondering whether your in laws really are as horrendous as you always thought they were.
It’s great.
Go watch it.
