Get Out 2017

     Chris and Rose have been seeing each other for a while.  They take a weekend road trip to visit her parents.  They have an interracial relationship and Chris wonders if Rose has mentioned this?  Rose says she didn’t know how to bring it up?  Chris feels that her parents, her brother, the groundskeeper and the housekeeper are very nervous around him?  Missy Armitage is Rose’s mother and she wants to hypnotize Chris.  He’s against this but when he wakes up, he thinks she has hypnotized him without his permission?

     I was nervous when I saw that Blumhouse Productions are involved in this film.  All their films are scary films!!  There are two sides to this film.  As a viewer you are anxious about how scary this is going to get and there are times when you are not scared at all but laughing?  Everyone at Rose’s house is interested in Chris but you don’t know the reason yet?  The groundskeeper and the housekeeper seem like the strangest people you’ve seen on this planet?  They look OK but they could be zombies??  3* (This movie is OK)

Special Note:  Filmed in Fairhope and Mobile, Alabama.  This movie was filmed in 28 days.  Director Jordan Peele was inspired to write this movie from Eddie Murphy: Delirious of 1983, Poltergeist of 1982 and The Amityville Horror of 1979.  The title comes from a joke about Jordan immediately leaving if he heard a ghost whisper ‘get out!!’  Eddie Murphy was originally chosen to play Chris but Peele decided he wanted a younger actor.  This film was in the box office Top 10 for the first two months of release.  Daniel Kaluuya did about five takes of a key scene for his audition and his character needed to cry.  He released a single tear at each take.  Chance the Rapper bought all the tickets from Chicago theaters so people could see the film free.  Peele earned the first $100 million for an African American writer.  There is another film with the same title from 2010.
