Get Out (2017 dir. by Jordan Peele)
Get Out is a fantastic film that marks Jordan Peele's horror directoral debut and stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Lil Rel Howery, Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, Catherine Keener and Lakeith Stanfield. The film's plot follows a man by the name of Chris Washington, who uncovers a disturbing secret when he meets the family of his white girlfriend, Rose Armitage. The film premiered at Sundance in January 2012, before a wide release in February 2017. Filmed on a small (by today's standards) budget of $4.5 million, the film ultimately grossed $255 million, as well as receiving universal acclaim for its writing, directing, acting, and thematic elements. Most people cite it as one of the best films of the 2010s, and I would agree. I wouldn't have cut if I had other options, but I love the Chucky films except for Seed, so sadly this was a cut I had to do.
