Get Out - Seeing Through Someone Else's Eyes (Literally)

Published: Oct. 27, 2020, 10 a.m.

Already a living comedy legend, Jordan Peele proved himself to be a thoughtful, original filmmaker with his directorial debut, the instant horror classic Get Out. Focusing less on jump scares and more on building tension, Get Out shows us what it's like for a young black man to meet the family of his white girlfriend. Though things seem pleasant enough at first, Peele lets a growing sense of unease and dread build to a horrifying conclusion. Don and Chuck may not be horror fans, but Peele's themes of control and perspective add up to one hell of a scary ride even they can appreciate - with a specificity that offers universal lessons for us all.
