For you KEY & PEELE fans out there, you might be surprised to know that Jordan Peele wrote and directed the movie you’re about to watch the trailer for. GET OUT is a psychological horror thriller with an apparent racism slant. It plays like a combination of THE STEPFORD WIVES, THE WICKER MAN, and in a weird way GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER. The film stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, and Catherine Keener. In many ways this seems quite timely considering the current controversy in the news with police and the black community, but done in a very smart way here. Check out the first look below in this very unnerving trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comments. This immediately went to the top of my must-see list for 2017.
In Universal Pictures’ Get Out, a speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele, when a young African-American man visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in a more sinister real reason for the invitation. Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya, Sicario) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams, Girls), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy (Catherine Keener, Captain Phillips) and Dean (Bradley Whitford, The Cabin in the Woods). At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
