5Get Out is astonishingly fresh and new. This is a horror film from Jordan Peele, half of the comedy duo Key and Peele. That said, Get Out is far from funny. I'm not the biggest horror fan, but I've seen the essentials and appreciate when it's well done or thought provoking. Trading in the over-the top gore we've grown accustomed to, for something more sinister, works wonders here. Trading in torture-porn for a slow-burn psychological romp does the trick. This film is really something different, and it's about time. Also, what a GREAT cast! 5/5 |
