I have seen several people ask/state if it had a comedic tone.
I personally didn't sense one. Yes the friend was funny, yes, it had it's funny moments. But over all I didn't feel that way at all.
GET OUT -- New horror film about black man meeting white gf's parents. Looks creepy.

The humor is used as it would be in real life, to cut the underlying tension and fear surrounding everything. It wasn't forced at all, so that's one of a few reasons why I see this movie as straight-up horror.

This could have easily been an episode in Black Mirror

Agree.
Season 1 Episode 3 of Black Mirror "The Entire History of You" is being made into a film produced by Robert Downey Jr's production company.

yea the way they tie in the brothers chokes were good. i love how "andre" was in the beginning when he saw the car coming then he started walking the other way lol. DEFINITELY wouldve done that in real life. as for the brother, they let u know without a doubt it was him because of the mma and "he was gonna put you in a chokehold" line, and then in the end it was the same white car AND the mask in the passenger seat.
the tension in the climax when he was going after the family was EXCELLENT. the moment when chris was staring at the mom across the room and they just understood what was about to happen. that felt genuine lol. she had this "theres no point in asking for mercy" look on her face. and then he took the stab to the hand and ignored it. dude was FOCUSED on killing that female lol.
a lot of the things were GREAT tho. one of the things that stuck out to me was the first hypnotize scene when he didnt realize he was under hypnosis already. and he was crying as a result. its like he was being dragged through his own memory against his will and he really communicated that. but the moment that did it was when she pulled him out of the memory then
"ok, now sink into the floor"
"wait, what?!"
"SINK" *tap*
he sinks into the upside down/the dark world from sinister/the abyss
the way she commanded him and he just instantly got screwed. that was terrifying. theyre going to tear up the oscars and awards next year. only thing im left wondering is did they go back to get andre, and will they now go after the town since everyone is in on it. also, now we know the groundskeeper and the maid were their grandma and grandpa... but were they still under hypnosis? i thought after the mind swap is done, its a wrap. but the grandma and grandpa were still hypnotized i think, cuz why else is the grandma a maid and the groundskeeper works all day?

Movie was way deeper than I expected. I'm honestly blown away that Jordan Peele is woke to this degree. I always wrote him off as corny. ****, was I wrong.
And Redbone at the beginning? Wow! That surprised the hell outta me. I have so much to say about this piece of art. It's late though. Time to read the thread and ko.
The tea reminded me of this...

That tea cup likely shares its own symbolic reference. Interesting how that was used as the primary form of hypnosis given the history of slavery ancestors as dinner servants.
By using an object associated with subservience in those days the mother figured she was able to root an ingrained form of trauma to aid in her hypnosis.

The final fight between them and the way Chris used his own advice against him was one of my favorite parts of the film.

I am not taking Armond White serious at all, but it sucks that his review was one that brought the RT score down. Not to mention one of his best movies reviewed is Fantastic Four Rise of The Silver Surfer.

Man I hope Chris is alright after all that messing with his head.
I was scared thinking that the ending was all a dream in his head until his boy showed up. Agents of SHIELD planted that in my head.

I felt so bad for Georgina when ol boy told her groups of white people make him nervous and that tear fell, ish hit me deep. Crazy to think that she was trapped deep down in there like that
Ol boy smoove hit that 180yea the way they tie in the brothers chokes were good. i love how "andre" was in the beginning when he saw the car coming then he started walking the other way lol.

The helmet in the car I noticed, but I didn't connect the car with the brother, since he's never seen driving it.
