GET OUT MOVIE REVIEW | POSSESSEDBYHORROR 

the auction scene made my blood turn cold, it terrified me

-Rose drives a Lincoln brand car -The dad says they shut the basement because they had issues with "black mold"

the ad for this video was Get Out

I think what was most interesting about the comedy element of this film was that the "jokes" usually came from Chris or his best friend and they always seemed to be really natural reactions to the weird shit going on. I forget exactly what some of their reactions were but I just remember thinking the same exact thing in my head moments before they said it. It's refreshing to see REAL responses and dialogue in a horror film.

The fruit loops symbolism toward the end where she separated the colored pieces from the white milk really got to me. That was my favorite symbolism in the movie.

SPOILERS ALERT Another fact that I like is when the girl eat cereals and milk separately. It represents separation between white and color people.

I literally gasp in the car when it dawned on me that that was why she was agressive with the cop. I was like omg that shady bitch!

idk if i'm just dumb but i didn't find this movie predictable at all and when rose held up the keys i was SHOOKETH

Love this movie,as a black woman I picked up on so much symbolism and I think it was executed brilliantly for issues that still go on today . You have done a great review. X

At the very end of this film, half the people in the theater clapped. The last time I heard people clap in a theater was at the end of Jackie during a special release. I've never heard anyone clap at the end of a horror, unless of course it was something where they were like "Oh my god I'm glad this is over!" I'm looking at you, Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension.

I really thought that it'd end with him getting caught by the police and of course getting imprisoned for life because he's black and so he'll be 100x more likely to be blamed for everything than a white man in that situation would. I'm glad it didn't end that way, while that'd be a powerful message I think a good ending for him is essential for the audience to feel satisfied

*SPOILER ALERT* After the movie is over the story that Rose's brother tells at the dinner table (the story about how Rose bit the tongue of a guy she was making out with in high school) becomes very humorous because it basically foreshadows everything we find out about Rose later in the movie. She lures in her victims with love and then attacks.

Hey Sarah! I had a series idea for your channel. I was wondering if you could could start a vintage horror movie section, for earlier horror movies like Rosemary's baby or sisperia (think that's how you spell it.....) anyways, I though that maybe would be cool. Ps. Sorry for my crappy grammar

I really like this movie, especially, like you said, the gradual discomfort throughout the movie. The only thing I didn't get was why Georgina, Walter and the guy with the hat acted SO strangely. They were creepily smiling and oddly polite. It seemed like they were hypnotised all the time, while they should actually act like the people they were before (Rose's grandparents and some old guy), only in another body, right?

honestly one of the best movies I have ever seen and is now in my top 10 of all time

I think another reason for the deer scene is because when chris first arrives he is prey to the family in the same way a doe is to a hunter. He has no way to defend himself. And in the end he uses the antlers to kill them. This could symbolize he is not longer defenseless maybe

Even after he found the pictures of Rose and all her prospects I still thought well, maybe she's still good, maybe she's not one of them that's how good the main actress was

I really liked this one. Normally one wants characters in horror movies to die horribly if only because they are so dumb but I was rooting for the main guy from the very first and only grew to like him more as the movie progressed.

First, your hair is so long now and I am living for it. Second, great review as always. Super excited to see this movie, it's definitely up there with one of my most anticipated horrors of 2017 too.

Based on this review, I can kinda compare this to The Visit. The gradual uneasiness I felt when the grandparents started acting strange.

What was the scene that made you think that Rose was in on it? I was really convinced that she was innocent. Lol!

wait I want to know how you knew Rose was in on it! I really didn't expect it because her love for him looked so genuine.

The whole scene where Chris is walking around the party talking to people made me very uncomfortable.

I also loved the discomfort that builds up in this movie as well. It was really cool.

YAY i saw this movie yesterday! i loved it so much! i loved reading the things that a lot of people missed when watching the film right after leaving the theater because it made it even better too. the political side of this movie was just so well done, and i loved the gore.

The cop also was potentially trying to do the right thing because he realizes black men keep disappearing in the area.

im so excited for the cure for wellness review

Didn't this remind anyone of the Skeleton Key a little bit? I figured they were "switching" people in Get Out, I just didn't know it would be brain transplants instead of magic.

Im so glad you enjoyed this movie! I really liked how you touched base on all the different themes this movie addresses, however Jordan Peele himself has stated that this movie is less about racism and more about white liberals and their interpretation of what it means to be "woke" i.e. when Rose's father says he would have voted for Obama a third time. It's sort of playing off white liberals who try so hard to be woke that they end up being racist and making minorities uncomfortable themselves by patting themselves on the back for being "progressive".

when the guy says “we left a part of [the mom] in the kitchen” and it’s the moms brain in the maids body

I loved the film. Everything about it was better than expected

Yes, yes, yes!!! I have been anticipating this review....THANK YOU!!! I looooooooove this channel.

I really enjoyed this movie a lot, like everyone in the theater was so into it.

My favorite horror movie of all time is the Skeleton Key, I didn't mind the new twist on it, but I still prefer the original.

love your look in this video!! also love this channel and your horror podcast!!

girl your eyebrows look so good in this video

I think it would be really cool if you filmed a video where you react to viral videos on the internet that are creepy/scary like the "I feel fantastic" video or deep web content.

I really loved your analysis on the film! I didn't even think about some of the stuff you mentioned. Awesome review (:

I always go into really hyped movies wary because I feel like some people just go with the flow and say a movie is great because other people are saying it's amazing - but this 100% lived up to the hype holy shit i LOVED it

Holy fucking shit. I just watched this movie two nights ago and had to come back to watch your review and my stomach literally hurts from the symbolism. Wow. THIS MOVIE WAS SO GOOD.

quick question, where's your hat from?

When I noticed that rose was wearing red with everyone else I was 100% sure she was in on it.

Excellent review, dad and I went to see it yesterday and enjoyed it very much. I made my dad think it was a 'drama'-I didn't tell him it was more of a 'horror' movie. hehe. He was shocked, but loved it. :3

Red is also a symbol of a sacrifice, in many cases.

I totally agree like the movie does very well at making people who aren't African-American feel uncomfortable it may not be at the level of the African Americans watching or even the people of color watching but even caucasian people felt strong discomfort.

coming back to this video after I finally watched it so I can watch you talk about the spoiler hahahah

sarah are you gonna review the movie raw?

you should watch Fear, Inc! it's on Hulu, I'm not sure about Netflix, though. it's kinda dumb and predictable, but it was also pretty entertaining and the whole idea of it is just horrific!

I personally loved Get out,but I wouldn't call it horror, it's more mystery,it wasn't scary at all tbh,but still an amazing movie

pls review raw i want to watch it but i don't know what to make of it.

Such a good film! Seen it twice and I definitely will have to again soon! I'm currently binge watching your horror videos! Love you Sarah! :)

Great review, Sarah!!

Can you please review Belko Experiment. It was a surprisingly good movie

I thought it was predictable too but it still made me question the whole time if my predictions were right or not so I don't feel negative toward the predictability at all. I loved it

I just found your channel, and I love horror movies. I like what you do here. Question what about the guy who got a bloody nose, after the flash from the camera. He yells at Chris to get out. Now he has transplanted brain transplant, right? So it seemed that he was remembering things from his old brain? Or something came through on his new brain? This scene really confused me.

Get Out is one of my favorite films.

ahh i was hoping you'd do a review of this movie

this movie was good but it wasn't 98% on rotten tomatoes good

Very, very late to this video. Great review!! This was the first big theater move i saw with a horror movie group id just joined. I didnt know anyone and was the only black person. We all loved this movie!! One think id like to mention that i dont think anyone has said was that the "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" was a slogan the United Negro College Fund when i was a kid but i never thought the movie would be able replacing minds. Also in a later interview Jordan Peele said that no matter ur status, being the only black person in a room is uncomfortable. And it is. Anyway, great great review!!

To me, it's never a question is Rose in on it, it's weather she's in on it willingly or not.

Good movie... I love how it addresses pandering to black people and how uncomfortable it makes him feel. Ex. I would have voted for Obama a third time. I know a-lot of black people that definitely didn’t vote for Obama especially his second term. Fun movie.

I know this is old buuuut I gotta be completely honest about this movie right now because I've only JUST NOW seen it. While I think the plot is refreshing and the POV is important since it exposes real-life problems and shows the world that black people (including myself) truly do love horror movies. That being said, my unpopular opinion is that this movie is a bit overrated and overblown for what it is. Yes, there are creepy characters and moments, but the movie feels more like suspense than horror. And if I'm being more honest, I think it was way over hyped up BECAUSE of the subject matter. I feel that people feel inclined to say that liked this movie more than they actually did simply due to the subject matter and the popularity of the director (whom I think is talented and brilliant). This is just my unpopular opinion. That being said...I am so looking forward to the release of 'Us', it looks fantastic!

I knew that Rose was in on it based on the trailer. So that sucked. But the movie was great!

I finally got around to actually seeing this and I loved it! Though my boyfriend spent the next 3 days giving me the "stink eye" lol. I asked him what was wrong and he was like "This movie makes me question you..."" (it was in a playful way lol). We both thought it was amazing and can't wait to see what Jordan comes out with next!

Now, I have to see this movie! Seems like it's much deeper than the trailer makes it seem.

Very well said 💯

You're right about it being predictable! I knew the girlfriend was in on it just from the trailer. Still a great movie though!

I loved it, it was so good! I loved when they first showed Chris in his apartment they played Redbone by Childish Gambino. Donald Glover is such an incredible actor and writer, if you haven't watched Atlanta I suggest giving it a try, it deals with racism as well and it's comedic at points. It's so good!

the ticket thing was so smart i was actually shook

Too similar to the skeleton key for my liking. The movie was cool obviously but should have given at least a small a credit for inspiration to the writer of skeleton key.

I agree that this movie was so good! And I also read those theories which made me think more and understand it better.

Why can't everyone just be EQUAL?!?!

God,now I want to see this film like IMMEDIATELY, but since I'm italian I have to wait until May :(

i love when she says “my dad isn’t gonna chase you off with a shotgun” and then she chases him off with the gun at the end

Great! Someone commented the end without a warning...

I twitted @you!!! Is it true there's gonna be Mamma2?!?! Also lights out, final destination and saw!!!

i couldn't finish it, everything felt so forced. It reminded me of Stepford Wives kinda (which was a pretty good one), but like it's as if they wanted to make it awkward. I, as a black person tho, can't really judge the political stance of this movie being canadian and haitian. So I have no idea what it's like being a black-american in the US, therefore can't really put out a clear opinion of it. I like the idea of the movie, but not what i saw of it.

Yeah this movie was super well done. Politically I feel like it did a really good job of making the audience feel Chris's discomfort and the discomfort a lot of black people experience without having to exaggerate it. And as a horror movie in general it was really disturbing in a more subtle way. I love movies that leave you thinking and this one definitely did that.

I would say it is a box office succes it made 84,7 million dollars in the box office in the US alone with only 4 million dollar budget. It hasn't come out yet in other countries i belive but i think that when it does it will hit over the 120 million mark or even 150.

SPOILER**** I had a feeling Rose was in on it too bc the whole time she seemed so off almost? Honestly, I felt like it was her acting ( Allison Williams) and she just seemed kinda fake the whole time! But when I saw the trailer, I had hoped that she wasn't gonna be in on it or that she would be a part of it. It was such a good film though, the best part about watching it in the theater was the reaction of the audience.

It was a horror film, psychological in the realm of Hitchcock. True Horror, is subtle and gradual in real life.

10/10 Loved everything about it

this movie is just genius. jordan peele is so smart and the little details are amazing..... plus i love his wife

You should really watch housebound, a New Zealand horror comedy from 2014 which I thought was a fantastic movie and that you will probably really enjoy:)

its social horror

Watch All Hallows' eve now !!!

I saw this movie today I really liked it very creepy!!

Remember when you gave Megan is Missing a positive review? That was funny.

Now I'm dying to know what the reason was why you knew that she was in on it! :D

Excellent.. Review !! Yes... being ... Black in America.... is often challenging for us ! lol

It’s a phenomenal movie, I loved it. 9/10

Funny thing I saw this film in Korea and then the next day met a Korean guy who obviously didn't get it or didn't want to get it. I also felt like it touched on behaviours and sub genres? of racism such as appropriation and fetishism where people are seen as commodities rather than well...people.

I️ felt so uncomfortable during this movie lol

I can't believe you liked this film the jump scares were so crappy and it wasn't all that funny.

I loved this movie on every level. However, I found the character of Jeremy really cliche and unrealistic.

You could lure me anytime ;) just don’t take my brain.

You hit a deer you’re lucky to survive

2nd

Didn't particularly care this movie.

I'm not really into this movie..more of a thriller
