Saw the movie Get Out last night, and loved it.

One of the best movies I’ve seen all year. Horror movie about a black man who goes to meet his white girlfriend’s parents. Very well done and thought provoking, and tackles liberal racism in interesting ways. Curious what others who’ve seen it thought.

I thought it was great and one of the best horror films I’ve seen. It will stand out long after the slasher / jump scare fare has faded.

If you look at the user reviews on IMDB, you'll find a number of people who gave it 1 star because it was "racist". I guess they don't get that there's a difference between racist and being about racism.

Many also said it was a rip off of the movie "The Skeleton Key". There are similarities, but I still think Get Out stands on its own.
