Get Out (2017)

A poster film for Black Lives Matter, Jordan Peele’s horror-satire of white vampirism gleefully needles America’s racial malaise.

“Turning the creeping hypocrisy of modern racism into the scenario of a horror classic was a genius move by Jordan Peele. A parable about never assuming that the other shoe won’t drop when you’re Black in a majority-white society.” Arike Oke

“Peele upends the anticipated rhythms of horror by elongating suspense and throwing in jump scares at will, like a jazz drummer who’s so confident of the beat he’s simply decided to work around it.” Rebecca Harrison

“A film so rich, smart and instantly iconic that it already feels as recognisable as Jaws, The Exorcist or The Shining.” Mike Muncer
