It was a great satirical thriller, not your typical horror movie. Almost Hitchcockian in the way it handled suspense and subtle clues.
So many projects…so little time.

Still don't grasp what all the fuss was over it -- both negative and positive.
Having walked in the shoes of the protagonist (minus the being imprisoned in a basement, admittedly), I didn't find the material all that fresh and definitely not funny.
That people at large and even award show honchos perceived it as a comedy really speaks to the chasm that has us all not getting along too well.
"‘Get Out’ is a documentary," Jordan Peele (the writer/director) tweeted --seriously or not-- at the time.
And in an interview he later followed up with, “What the movie is about is not funny.”
The joke is that his intent was to make a horror movie.
Think I'll watch it again in about 5 years, in absence of spin, and see how it ages...
