It was neither funny nor scary. What was the hype about?
It's a movie about liberal racists literally stealing the bodies of black people
It resonates

I wouldn't call it a horror movie so much as a catharsis movie with what happens to the liberals
Yeah, good use of a deer head
I felt similar with the Candyman that he wrote, directed by Nia DaCosta. Though I felt a bit more unsettled with the body horror elements. I didn't hear much when it came out, I don't think it was very popular, but it has some themes of revenge against the racist power structure. The soundtrack was nicely done as well.
I'd vote for Get Out for a Golden Globe for a third time if I could
I can only conclude that you have bad taste
I thought it was good. Us was pretty good too but i never saw Nope.
I don't think I was expecting to be scared either time though so I wasn't disappointed in that regard
Nope was good in a schlocky 90s movie way. Decent airplane watch
Nope is good but it just makes you feel awful and weird. Bad vibes (but it's on purpose and it's good).
I don't know, I loved the vibes, but I've spent a decent amount of time in the Southwest so it felt sort of nostalgic to me. I'm glad I saw it in theaters, I enjoyed the scenery a lot.
Very nostalgic. It's kinda interesting, NOPE is filmed in and also the movie itself is set in the same place, Northern Los Angeles County in the Agua Dulce/ Acton region. In one sequence in the movie Keke Palmers character is wearing a jersey from a local high school, the same one I graduated from. I was pretty surprised when I noticed
Maybe it was partially becuase I had an infection at the time which probably altered my vibes
was neither funny nor scary
what did you go into this movie looking for comrade, Scary Movie? Final Destination??
is this /s or do you mean the latter is an example of a scary movie? because it isn't
not /s, is Final Destination not explicitly a horror movie?
Get Out wasn't scary to them, so I just meant that bringing up FD isn't a relevant comparison. Whiplash is more scary than FD and it isn't even horror
I was expecting it to be scary and funny based on what other people have been saying about it since it came out
I think it was hilarious when the dad said "I would vote for Obama a third time if I could" because that's similar crap I heard from white people all the time.
I was scared/cringed as a black man who saw the movie in theaters. Maybe it didn't resonate because you don't have to deal with prejudice, racism, or white people saying weird shit to you because of your race?
Yep, brown and my family got megafucked by how evilly racist America is. This movie was unsettling, cringey, and terrifying. It had me on edge with how accurately it depicted white liberal racism. Idkwtf OP's problem is but it sure could be melanin deficiency
What other two?
Assume they mean the other two movies that Jordan Peele has directed.
Us and Nope
Us is another horror movie slow burn that's a lot snappier than Get Out, you'd probably like it more. Nope is fun as hell but not really all that spooky.
Yo Us was also hilarious. That house seen with fuck the police? Pure genius
Us was kind of a disappointment. A lot of great ideas, but the pacing was all over the place.
This is really the week of hot media takes on HexBear isn't it.
Get Out has been cited by critics as one of the best films of the 21st century and of all time.
it was one of my fav horror movies for a long time, to say its one of the best in its genre is okay but overall in the 21st century is a stretch smh, have these "critics" not seen Ant Man and the Wasp Quantum Revoluton??
Wrong
how dare you?
Nope was brilliant, it had one of the msot tense scenes I ever saw in a movie theater
?
I don't get the idea that you cannot understand a pretty rudimentary movie because you haven't experienced racism.
