Get Out (2017)

Directed by Jordan Peele, "Get Out" (2017) is a groundbreaking horror film that blends traditional scares with sharp social commentary on racism in contemporary America. The story follows Chris and Rose, an interracial couple visiting Rose's parents, where Chris encounters unsettling behavior from the Black housekeeper and groundskeeper, leading him into a nightmarish reality of racism and oppression. Peele's nuanced approach exposes liberal racism and dismantles the myth of post-racial America, using supernatural elements as metaphors for the commodification of Black bodies, with standout performances from Daniel Kaluuya and Lil Rel Howery, and visually echoing horror classics while maintaining a distinctive, symbol-laden aesthetic.
