Get Out is a comment on a highly complex situation that’s also a total blast
Critic Review by Olly Richards - Empire
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Excerpt:
Its primary function is as a horror movie with shades of comedy, and it succeeds superbly. A lot of its deeper messages, which you could pick apart ad nauseum, only really bubble to the surface in thinking about it after. Peele’s a rare director who can combine big ideas with big fun.

Well I guess everyone who loved Get Out is hoping for the best with this 2nd film by Jordan Peele. You kinda expect this to be quite odd and in that respect it is. The problem I found is it feels like a comedy horror at times, often unintentionally. The cinema were laughing at parts I think were supposed to be freaky. To top it off the final revelation was predictable for me. So a bold effort, entertaining film but it might leave you feeling indifferent.

Saw this last night and I kind of agree with you. I was on edge for a lot of it, but the oddness and the comedy works against it at times

It was strange how much the audience were laughing at the moments that were meant to be creepy.

Very very 80s vampire comedy-horror; one of those films which feels like a music video with the actual song edited out. Family relocates to sleepy coastal town, discovers that dark forces are at work.

Not really what you'd actually call scary, but attractive to look at and genuinely funny in places. Cleverer than you expect; there's a nicely subtle gag about the teenage characters thinking the world revolves about them, when it's really the adults who are in charge and know what's going down. Good soundtrack, too. Entertaining stuff.

If the Shining happened in an Ikea
Honestly one of my favorite covers because people keep thinking I studying an Ikea catalogue very thoroughly!

This book was just so much fun and had a really great balance when it came to the horror and comedy which for me just doesn't always come through when I'm reading books. But Grady Hendrix just really had a way with the genre. I bought this book first but ended up reading My Best Friends Exorcism first and that was also a great read.

"There’s no film like it. It’s a mixed-media film that blends animation with real time, and absurd comedy with deeply real horror. It’s just super fun and almost like Dada. It just makes you laugh when you’re probably not supposed to and makes you scream when you’re probably supposed to be laughing. I love things that are both terrifying and humorous, and that film is just a ride unlike any other. It’s so vivid and well designed and visionary. It’s a perfect midnight movie—not unlike Assassination Nation."

It carries on from the first film and links in nicely! You must see the first to appreciate sone of the humour in this dark, but hilarious time- travelling comedy! (1 more)
Quite sad in places too- there’s a real story behind the humour. A dilemma the main protagonist must face when she realises she can get exactly what she wants when she is in control of her destiny!
Not a true horror in my book but I enjoyed it despite that! (0 more)
A time travelling theme with a moral dilemma!
