Mystery. Horror. Thriller

A young African American man visits his white girlfriend's family estate where he learns that many of its residents, who are black, have gone missing, and he soon learns the horrible truth when another frantic African-American warns him to "get out".

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"A gloriously twisted thriller that simultaneously has so much to say about the state of affairs in post-Obama America"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A fantastic thriller with a sharp eye for the intersection of genre thrills and social commentary."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"'Get Out' isn’t half as scary as the ideas that inspired it, [but] Jordan Peele’s directorial debut is almost certain to be the boldest — and most important — studio genre release of the year. What it lacks in fear, it nearly makes up for in fearlessness."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"'Get Out' feels fresh and sharp in a way that studio horror movies almost never do. It is both unsettling and hysterical (...) and it is totally unafraid to call people on their racist bullshit (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		A.A. Dowd AV Club	"'Get Out' works so well as a gauntlet of social horror that it almost doesn’t need its more traditional thriller elements."
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"This, though, is still inspired filmmaking: witty, trenchant, very topical, sometimes utterly bloodcurdling but always with plenty of polemical points to make (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
