Get Out - Social Horror

-

"Get Out" is a movie directed by Jordan Peele and stars Daniel Kaluuya. It was released in 2017 in the United States and won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 2018. I chose this one because it is a new kind of horror movie with social elements. 

Now, let me introduce the story. Chris, an African-American photographer living in New York, is invited to the family home of his Caucasian girlfriend, Rose. However, there is a black servant there and he begins to feel strangely uncomfortable. As time goes by, Chris becomes uneasy about the suspicious behavior of the people around him, and this is the story of his attempt to leave her parents' house with Rose. This is in the horror, mystery and thriller genre. 




Jordan Peele is a director, screenwriter, comedian, and actor and his talent has led him to work in many other fields. In a movie that you may easily recognize, he was also the voice of Bunny in "Toy Story 4". 



This movie has a lot of foreshadowing in the scenes where the main character feels strange, and it is interesting to see at the end why the people around him were acting suspiciously. The inclusion of social elements makes it different from other horror movies in that it is also realistically scary, and provides an opportunity to think about race and culture. The highlight of the movie is the camera work and music, which is designed to make everyone watching feel uneasy and eerie.

" The Visit " was released in the United States on September 11, 2015. It is directed, written and produced by M. Night Shyamalan.  The main characters are played by Olivia DeJoung and Ed Oxenbould. This movie may be a different kind of fun than the movies I've mentioned so far, as the entire story is told only through the images shot by the main characters. However, be careful if you are prone to screen sickness. First, let me tell you about the story: Becca, 15, and Tyler, 13, accept an invitation from their grandparents, whom they have never known before, to spend Monday through Saturday at their grandparents' house in Pennsylvania. Becca was going to make a documentary film about her time with her grandparents. There were three rules at the grandparents' house. First, "Have a good time."
