GET OUT

Photographer Chris Washington visits his white girlfriend Rose Armitage’s family estate for the weekend. Initially welcomed warmly, Chris begins to notice unsettling behavior from the family’s Black servants and the guests at a party. He soon uncovers a horrifying truth: the Armitages are part of a cult that transplants the consciousness of wealthy white people into Black bodies — a process called the Coagula. Chris must fight to escape before becoming their next victim.

Get Out offers the best of the horror genre. When wielded properly, horror is a highly effective way of holding a mirror to society. The worst problems our society faces should horrify us, though we are all too often numb to them. 

Prior to writing and directing Get Out, Jordan Peele was squarely known as a sharp and adept comedy writer and performer. In his directorial debut, it is clear that his keen understanding of people is relevant in comedy writing, the horror genre, and filmmaking in general.

Peele made Get Out in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, prompted by a series of killings committed by police officers against Black men. That influence is clear here and makes for an insightful and impactful film (that just so happens to be a horror movie).  (EL)
