Get Out review

Get out is a modern masterpiece of horror and social commentary.

Rating: 10/10

Chris and Rose have been dating for a while and they've finally gotten to the "meet the parents" stage. Rose invites Chris for the weekend to her parents home, and right off the bat stuff starts happening. Chris' car hits a deer and after spending only a day at the house, you can tell something is off.

Get Out is becoming one of the best horror films ever made because: it seamlessly blends terror with comedy and racial satire, it has original scares, and it isn't filled with jump scares. Get Out currently sits at a whopping 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and has "universal acclaim" on metacritic.

Get Out is an awesome film. It is probably the best horror film this year by far. Jordan Peele (Key and Peele) shows he has a knack for horror as well as comedy.

Get Out is in theaters now and starts Daniel Kaluuya and Alison Williams. Get Out is rated R for violence, bloody images, and language including sexual references

For Parents:
Language: Uses of f-ck sometimes paired with "mother" or used sexually.  A handful of lesser curse words as well. A few uses the "n word"
Sexual Content: A conversation about Jeffrey Dahmer gets pretty graphic, including references to necrophilia. A few jokes about sex slaves.
Violence: A man's throat is slashed with a deer antler, a deer is hit with a car, a man shoots a woman in the chest then shoots himself, a man is briefly knocked out with a pool ball causing blood to appear on his head. A man has his scalp and the top of his skull removed for a surgery (easily the most graphic scene in the film). A man is quickly beaten to death (off-screen). A man rushes another when he takes a picture of him.

Get Out is fine for 16+
