Get Out

I had not seen the trailer and had absolutely no idea what the premise was. I can definitely imagine that it would be a more enjoyable experience this way, since I was surprised throughout. A fairly inventive movie, clever plot, and strong performances from the leads. The scares all add to the story, too! It's not purely jump scares for no reason. EDIT: I just read the Trakt synopsis- it gives away a huge bit of the story. I am even more glad I knew nothing about this movie or I probably would have been more judgmental. EDIT 2: Trakt has changed the synopsis to be more vague, but I still think I enjoyed the movie even more without reading anything about it or even seeing artwork. halfway through the movie I could not imagine how it could be a horror movie, which is exactly why it was such a good horror movie.

I've been very hyped for Get Out. And finally I had the opportunity to watched it last week when finally premiered in Portugal. Well, Get Out is a phenomenal film. It really is. What an amazing directorial debut by a comedy guy, Jordan Peele. It's amazing what he accomplished. Get Out addresses racism with very intelligence without being cliché. And because of that, the screenplay is brilliantly well written. The cinematography and the soundtrack were also pretty good. The performances were great, specially Daniel Kaluuya. When the movie wants to be scary and suspenseful, is awesome. Although some 'jump scares' were unnecessary. The opening scene is so effective and so well done. A lot of characters are presented throughout the whole movie, and all of them are important to the story, every single detail. I found this very interesting. With this being said, I loved Get Out. One of the best of 2017 so far, and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to watch this one in the theater.
