Get Out

I had forgotten all about this film until I stumbled upon this thread.

It was one of those films we had never heard about in the build up to its release but we ended up watching it.

I thought it was a very good original film makes a change from some of the stuff that gets churned out at the moment.
 
I just watched this last night and really enjoyed it, was great fun from start to finish. I didn't tell my wife it was "horror" as she doesn't really do horror films. But I knew the premise and didn't think it was your typical horror film.

The film started and I think she thought it was going to be a crime thriller. Then the opening music and shots of the trees seemed to be a massive homage to Susperia. She has never seen Susperia or the like but the tonal shift I think had her wondering.

They hit the deer and everything felt a bit unnerving that she says "Is this a horror film?". She was totally on edge after that. I was grinning my way through it, I thought it was really entertaining and fun.
 
I really enjoyed this.

The bit towards the end when
the cop car turns up is great. The film has already established the 'racist white cop' and suddenly you are put in the shoes of the main character and feel what it must be like for a lot of black people when the cops turn up
 
We saw the candle start to burn the surgery and presumably the evidence of what they were up to, was all lined up for him to go to jail. For all the overt moments there were lots of very underplayed and subtly implied ones. Very good writing almost had a Black Mirror feel...no pun intended.
 
It's a 9.5/10 from me, like has been previously said... A little better of an ending and it would have been a 10/10 from me :)
 
Just watched this.

I little predictable in places. The gf being in on it was too obvious. And how did he get that fluff in his ears when he was bound to the chair?

Totally routing for him at the end though and I think his change in character is completely understandable.

But yeah excellent film really enjoyed it. Creepy af in places would definitely recommend.
