   still thinking about Get Out
   gawd there's so much to say about it but so much of it is spoilers and I think it's a movie that you *really* don't want spoiled

   It does a very good job of taking "I hate X, it makes me feel like I'm Y" moments and then just following the possibility of Y to its most extreme gruesome conclusion. And besides sci-fi/horror elements, absolutely everything that happens in it feels plausible and realistic

     There's pretty much no point in the movie where you go "OH MY GAWD THATS STUPID DONT DO THAT" like in other horror movies. The protagonist in genre savvy but to make up for it the scenarios are even more terrifying and unnerving, because they don't let you think "Well, if I was in this situation, I'd be smarter" cuz no... the protag is pretty smart, the circumstances are still terrifying.

     Get Out subverts tons of genre tropes of typical structures and elements, while remaining very well paced
