    Get Out All while ambitiously addressing the all too real racial issues and stereotypes of today’s society, Jordan Peele manages to leave his viewers incredibly disturbed with a feeling that does not fade quickly after watching. Although, this eerie tone is met with blunt racial tension and comedic relief, which is what really sets this film apart from other cut and dry horror films on the market. The movie stars Daniel Kaluuya, who plays the generic (but rational) protagonist named Chris Washington, a black man who finds himself infatuated with the very complex Rose Armitage (portrayed by Allison Williams). At first they appear to be a very average couple. Rose takes Chris along with her to a weekend getaway so he can meet her parents.
