SIU Reviews: Get Out

movie poster for Get Out

Get Out is a 2017 satirical horror film about a white woman who takes her African American boyfriend home to meet her family.  As film critic Walter Metz explains, it's not your average scary movie; but one that takes aim at the stereotypes that influence perception.    Note: This edition of SIU Reviews contains major plot spoilers which you may not want to know before seeing the movie.
 
Get Out is currently playing at a theater near you.   Walter Metz is a Professor of Film Studies in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
