Get Out is a must see.
I had to rush and catch a matinee of it because I felt like too many people were casually talking about it on Facebook and I didn't want to get spoiled. The social commentary isn't beating you over the head the entire movie but it's definitely there. Great psychological thriller.

I've been disagreeing with my dad about that for years and it's good to see some validation.

Get Out is not what it looks like, it's a pleasant surprise.

I got dragged to it, but was pleasantly surprised. It had plenty of great plot twists. The ending was well worth the wait also. Decent build up with some great character development.

Ja I might try to catch it in theaters this weekend, or at the very least torrent it. I'm always down for well made horror.

I read an article where Peele said that this is the first in a series of movies that he plans to release over the next 10 years or so that touches on "social demons".
