Get Out

The first time I watched this movie, it was amazing. It felt like I had discovered a hidden gem of the cinema world. But after that I watched and did a lot of other things and didn’t really have enough time to rewatch it. But a few days ago, I did. And it was so refreshing. I forgot how good this movie was and how psychologically terrifying it was. That’s the thing with horror movies. People think that a good horror movie is just unexpected jumpscares and scary sounds, but that’s not even a tiny bit of what ‘scary’ is. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. It keeps on making you ask “How will he get out of this now?”. What made this movie near perfect was the way everything was shot. There were rarely any “quick jumpscares” or “fast-paced action sequences” and those that do exist end quickly. It makes the movie all the more realistic. And that’s a really cliché thing to say, but for some movies realism actually could be a good factor.
