Comedian Jordan Peele has teamed up with Blumhouse Productions to make his feature directorial debut not on a comedy, but on a horror movie. That’s a cool twist on expectations, and what makes it even better is that Peele’s horror movie, which is titled GET OUT, somehow managed to make it through production without any of its secrets being revealed. To this point, all we’ve known about it is that it centers on
a young African-American man who visits his Caucasian girlfriend’s family estate.
Now that GET OUT is completed and gearing up for a February 24 theatrical release, a trailer has been released to give a better idea of what it’s about, but it doesn’t give too much away. This is a trailer done right, showing just enough to be intriguing while still keeping plenty under wraps. After watching it, I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but I do want to see how it plays out.
GET OUT stars Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, Catherine Keener, Lil Rel Howery, Betty Gabriel, Caleb Landry Jones, and Keith Stanfield.
