As Halloween approaches and viewers return to horror classics, Jordan Peele’s original horror movie has entered the Netflix Top 10 list.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jordan Peele's horror hit, Get Out, has broken into the Netflix Top 10 list. Released in 2017, Get Out stars Daniel Kaluuya as a photographer who finds himself wrapped up in a sinister scheme after joining his girlfriend for a stay at her parents' estate. The movie essentially launched Peele's career as a director, with the filmmaker subsequently making Us and, most recently, Nope.
Now, as Halloween inches closer and viewers turn spooky movies to get into the spirit, Peele's Get Out has just managed to break into the Netflix global top 10 list. Peele's horror flick comes in at the number 10 spot globally, but the number six spot in the U.S., with Us just behind it on the latter list.
One of the big reasons why the movie resonated so forcefully with audiences and critics is its clear critique and exploration of race relations in America. Get Out features some biting cultural commentary, with a plot that features wealthy white parents literally brainwashing and enslaving Black people. This thematic material, however, accompanies a twisting and unpredictable plot, with some major surprise reveals woven throughout the narrative.
The movie's script also incorporates what has become Peele's signature brand of comedy, with healthy doses of dark humor allowing the movie strike a unique tonal balance. Kaluuya's lead performance as Chris, too, carries the film, and Allison Williams is exceptional as Rose, an apparent ally who is eventually revealed to be perhaps the biggest villain of them all during Get Out's shocking ending.
