Damn, that's a shame.
Unfortunately I'm working a fucking 72 hour shift soon and won't be able to watch it until Tuesday at the earliest.
Still gonna pay for my family to see it, tho.

Yeah that was good. My theater was entirely old white people, black people, and me. There's probably something meta about that.
Reminded me of the family from Resident Evil 7 lol

Saw this tonight, really fucking good, deserves all the praise it's getting
They don't sell tickets online? I don't remember the last time I bought tickets at the theatre...and screw driving 45 minutes to not make it.
We always get a awesome horror/thriller around this time of the year.
The witch 2016
It follows 2014
Both February releases in USA I believe

I want this to do well. I'd like to see it but I want the Key and Peele guys to be successful. Good for Peele.
Babadook was 2015? Or was that year missing something?
The problem is that area of the year is usually trash as fuck.

I mean, it's Peele, so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to race commentary at least.
Although I guess there are people who probably don't recognize the name Peele without "Key" in front of it. lol

Yup, I had know idea it was him until I came across this thread!
Better 3rd act

This one of those straight-to-Netflix Asylum knockoffs?

Just got back. Great flick. Creepy and fucked up and funny. But fucked up.
Ty.
Would love to take the lady to see this just going off impressions.
I havent even seen a poster for this thing and i think it would be neat if i could make it to inside a theatre completely blind for once
Through Fandango, which charges a service fee. It's been a very long time since I was at a movie that sold out; the last one was The Force Awakens. I didn't even consider it would sell out. I'll just show up a half hour earlier tomorrow.

Yep. He was nothing more than a contrarian, or an elaborate troll. I think he was banned shortly after The Dark Knight, when his troll status reached max.

7/10
everyone in the cinema seemed like they were having a good time, I may bump my score up to an 8 as the more I think about it I like it more. It was kinda weird watching it as a black guy surrounded by white people and cool when they were rooting on the black protagonist.
Kinda grew up watching the films that inspired Get Out. I thought it could have used like one more element storywise. Though I realize any criticism I give it probably sounds worst than I intended. A few massive jump scares for better or worst.

I just paid $33 for two tickets. Thanks Fandango!
God damn this movie is great. I don't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat in an actual theater. Or the last time I rooted for the protagonist as much as I did here.
My audience loved it too. Everyone in the theater clapped when
Edit: the only thing that bugged me was how the best friend

the grandfather shot the woman at the end.
Edit: the only thing that bugged me was how the best friend
eventually found the location of the mansion. Unless I missed it, it never was explained how he just showed up. Yeah it was a funny scene with "I got it fuckin' handled" but confusing too.
My heart stopped when
you saw the blue lights after that, I thought it was going to be a Night of the Living Dead moment where he gets unceremoniously blasted at the end
Also about the friend
I thought he might have used a geo-tag from that picture he sent him, but they never explicitly say anything iirc

Holy shit. That kind of a score is virtually unheard of even for Oscarbaity movies. I'll definitely have to check this out. I love a good twisted comedy horror.
I think it might have been after he was supposed to write a review for Toy Story 3, but decided to launch into a self-important rant about American consumerism instead.

You see him work on the case himself after the cops laugh at him, so he presumably figured it out himself.

Just saw it with my best friend, man this movie is fantastic. This took balls for Jordan, a first time (I believe) director who previously spent years doing sketch comedy to make a slow simmering psychological horror with some interesting narrative decisions...and to have legitimate comedy that isn't out of place?
Well, there was one bit of comedy that was out of place from a storytelling perspective, but even then I think it was perfect because of how it fit into the viewing experience.
Damn fine job Mr. Peele. Damn fine.

Looks interesting but I'm not really into documentaries
Didn't realize this thread existed and instead posted it in the trailer thread.
Being 1 of 6 Black people in my graduating class this movie hit way to close to fears I've had as a black man growing up in the neighborhood I did. The streets looked just like my neighborhood. I've been in these exact same situations. I've gone to meet the parents not terrified they wouldn't like me because I'm dating their daughter but terrified because I don't know how they'll react because I'm black. Going to these weird ass parties out in the woods where I'm like 1 of 1 black guy. Studying the exits. Developing a strategy if something went south. Sitting in the seat gripping the armrests with my imagination running wild. By mid movie I wasn't just watching the film I was in the film i was part of it. I was the protagonist. My heart was racing. I was gripping the theater seat. Readjusting. I can't think of a scene I'd remove or a scene that I feel should've been added. Horror movies don't do shit for me. This though. This was absolutely terrifying. I had to get a drink afterwards.
