I confess that I was slightly disturbed after this movie. LOL

Seriously, I was impressed with the script, not only because of the turn of the story, but also because there is a gender exchange in the middle of the movie, something natural that only then you realize that it was horror, that became comedy and in the end suspense. And what a fantastic performance of the protagonist!

Because it is a horror film, it got short shrift at the Oscars, but I preferred it over Shape of Water.

Best Picture Nominee:

I've seen "Get Out" twice now. Once with a group of friends way after it released on Blu-Ray and the second time in theaters during the Oscars 2017 Best Picture Festival and both times I have loved this film.

"Get Out" strikes this perfect balance of being a comedy and a horror film, while simultaneously being social commentary about racism.

The political message works really well here, but it's not the only thing going for it, which can often times be the case for films that push a strong political agenda.

The entire cast did so well, that I was scared for Chris and genuinely creeped out by the entire Armitage family. The setup is near perfect, building up the appropriate amount of suspense that we needed for the later half of the film, with the ending keeping me on the edge of my seat literally until the very last scene.

I'm glad that "Get Out" won Best Screenplay and if it had won Best Picture, I wouldn't have complained at all. If you haven't seen it yet, go give it a watch!
