(horror movie)GET OUT(2017.)-good one but not quite horror

Chris Washington is a man that has everything he desired in his life. He has a beautiful girlfriend and he prepares to meet her family the Armitages for the first time. He is a bit scared what will their reaction be when they see that he is black, although his girlfriend assures him that they are not racist or have no prejudices.

When they arrive at her parents remote house, everything is nice and seems fun and smalltalk at first. During the dinner Chris realizes something is wrong talking with Allisons parents and her younger brother. Also, two coloured workers at the estate are acting strange. Suddenly, events unfold in fast and unexpected way.

Judging by all hype and media attention that rose around this movie I was determined to watch this one. Some of my friends have told me that its an excellent movie, so let us see how this one went for me.

This movie is placed nonchalantly and nominally under the banner of horror, but I will agree that the movie is more of a politically engaged thriller with racism still lingering in the world as a main theme. Daniel Kaluuya is brilliant as a main character Chris, but all of the cast is great mainly because of the great scenario.  Oh, that dream scare was a bit too much for me, but I love how the first fourty or so minutes of the movie go kinda slow, but then all hell breaks loose. The twist at the ending of the movie was great, but still calling this movie horror is a matter of discussion. This is a great movie, but maybe we should call it supernatural thriller instead.
