I heard some good things about this so I went to see it today. Not sure if it lives up to the hype (which was very very high) but I did like it quite a bit and I would recommend it if someone was curious to see it. Not quite a horror movie and not quite a comedy but it worked.

I liked that it did not end the way I thought it would and actually played on that assumption and tricked me.

Anyone else see it?

Haven’t yet. Will probably wait for DVD just because I have an extremely and embarrassingly low tolerance for scary movies.

It sounds great to me, except for the reviews citing lots of gore during the last parts.

I got excited about the Austrian horror film _Goodnight Mommy_ back in 2014, went to see it, loved the first two-thirds, and was traumatized by the body horror of the final half-hour.

I love horror movies but don’t care to see flying dismembered limbs, flesh-flaying, or cement blocks dropped onto testicles. Is _Get Out_ all right for me to see?

I saw it yesterday, and I almost _never_ watch horror movies. (I particularly don’t like movies like Human Centipede or the Saw movies, although I’ve never seen any of those.) But I went to see this, partly because the critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 99% (and it was at 100% last weekend).

In the end, I enjoyed this movie. Without giving anything away, there was some gore, but it was not gratuitous and the movie was very well done. I recommend seeing it.

I saw it today and I loved it. I’ll be thinking about it for awhile.

For people worried about the horror, it isn’t a traditional horror movie. The tone reminded me of an underrated movie from a few years back called You’re Next. It was like just coat of horror on the surface but not really a horror movie. It does have some gore.
