Get Out

Jordan Peele’s 2017 horror film titled, Get Out, follows the story of Chris Washington and his girlfriend Rose. When Rose invites Chris to visit her family house he is concerned about how her family will react to him being a black man. When they arrive at the house, Rose’s parents, Dean and Missy, become overly accommodating to Chris, which he believes to be because of his race. The strange behavior of the black servants and Rose’s parents' weird attitude towards Chris makes him suspect the family. After being hypnotized by Missy and attacked by a black man after flashing a camera at him, Chris started to believe that the family was hypnotizing black people for their own benefit. When Chris tries to leave the house, we find out that Rose was tricking him the whole time. The family ties him up in the basement and he is shown a video explaining that someone has bought his body and is going to put their brain inside of him through a brain transplant. The Armitage family has been doing this procedure for years, which explains the strange black servants. Eventually, Chris escapes by killing everyone in the family, including Rose.


Horror is my favorite movie genre and this film has to be one of my favorites. Jordan Peele is a brilliant director that combined horror and social commentary to discuss racial issues in America. This film brings up racism, cultural appropriation, and microaggressions toward people of color. Jordan Peele brilliantly tackled sensitive subjects through showing an extreme example of racism that relates to the discrimination of people of color that we see everyday. Overall, Get Out, is a socially relevant and thought-provoking horror film that sparks important questions about racism and privilege in this country.

Jordan Peele has definitely established himself as an ateur in the film industry. His distinctive style and focus on relevant societal issues makes him film so popular and unique. Jordan Peele's films tend to be very dark and off-putting because of the representation of sensitive issues. His ability to infuse social commentary into horror films has given him a distinct voice in the film industry. Peele's attention to detail, cinematography, and originality makes it easy to see his vision and auterism.
