This, THIS is what a horror film should be. I felt deeply uncomfortable and anxious for the first half of the movie, because everything happening was just so wrong, and confusing because of how wrong it felt, when nothing bad was happening. The tone and pacing and execution of events were perfect, I didn't figure out what was actually going on until Chris did. I managed to stay relatively unspoiled for the plot, which is how everyone should go into this movie. And minimal jumpscares, apart from the very first one, which means I can safely share it with my mom! Moving on to Peele's other films now, I can't wait to see if they're as phenomenal and perfect as this one. Absolutely incredible work, I can't think of a single thing wrong with Get Out.
Edit: Rewatched with my mom, and honestly the only issue I have is that it remains so uncomfy even when you know what's happening, perhaps BECAUSE of knowing what's happening. It's an incredible movie, for sure, but it's not as fun to rewatch (for me) as Us, which I think is my favorite of Peele's movies.
