Apparently director Jordan Peele’s inspiration for naming Get Out came from the experience of sitting in a theater, watching a horror movie, and hearing the audience screaming “Get out!” at the screen, as if to impart some sage advice upon a soon-to-be victim. Get Out is lots of fun, surprisingly sparse on the jokes, given the director’s television background. The casting and performances were top notch. Moreover, if one peels (pun intended, of course!) back the skin (also intended), this impressive debut has a lot to say about racism in America. Clever stuff, well presented.
