FILM REVIEW: Horror Get Out! will have you squirming

FIRST-time director Jordan Peele’s darkly comic horror story will have your body squirming in its seat while your eyes are locked to the big screen.

Get Out! is like Meet the Parents combined with The Stepford Wives with a large pinch of racial tension thrown in.

We meet nervous photographer Chris (Daniel Kaluuja, pictured above) as he packs to accompany girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) for on his first weekend visit to her parent's house.

“Do they know I’m black?” he asks, admitting to no little anxiety about his race being an issue.

As it turns out, their different backgrounds are pivotal, but not quite in the way he or we suspect.

On arrival at the remote, lavish family estate, Chris is more than a little freaked out by how uber-friendly Rose’s neurosurgeon dad (Bradley Whitford) and psychiatrist mum (Catherine Keener) are, not least when they, along with the guests (almost all-white) who turn up for a garden party the following day, keep emphasising their perceived benefits of Chris’ race.
