GET OUT


Not to be confused with one of Elaine Benes’ signature catchphrases on Seinfeld, Jordan Peele’s filmmaking debut, Get Out, shocked audiences when it was released near the end of February. Described as a “social thriller” – horror with social themes and messages (think Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby or The Stepford Wives) – Peele’s debut was a hit among critics and audiences, and has the distinction of being the most-successful film from a first-time filmmaker.

But beyond its monetary success (which is more than $245 million worldwide), Get Out is topical horror about race relations. Daniel Kaluuya plays Chris, an African-American, dating Rose (Allison Williams), a white woman. They escape the confines of New York apartment life to spend the weekend at her family’s upstate home with parents Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford).

There is a feeling-out process with Chris meeting the parents and their over-accommodating behavior. And as the weekend progresses, a series of new discoveries lead Chris to suspect that there’s more to this family than just a difference in skin color.

The Blu-ray gives you an opportunity to see Jordan Peele’s alternate ending as well as more than twenty minutes of deleted scenes (which can be viewed with or without commentary), plus a short behind-the-scenes documentary and even shorter Q&A with Peele and the Cast.
