(For people who are not genre-shy, the thing that kept me from seeing it until now was that so many of the people who recommended it were horror movie fans, so I assumed it wasn't for me. WRONG. THIS MOVIE IS FOR ALL OF US.)
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

SUCH a good movie! Even if you've seen the trailers ahead of time (which I had).

Basically, I need everyone to see it so that we can talk openly about THAT BIT WHERE THE THINGS HAPPENED AND YOU REALIZED LATER IT WAS ACTUALLY THAT OTHER THING HAPPENING AND IT WAS AMAZING. (Not a spoiler, literally the entire movie is those scenes.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Seriously considering taking sick time this afternoon and going to see this movie.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I actively avoid horror movies (I didn't even see Cabin in the Woods, and yes, I know it's different, but no, I *still* don't plan to see it, so you don't need to tell me I should see it), and I've been regarding Get Out in the same light. But *maybe* I'll see it. I'm intrigued.

Steph, me too (I also haven't seen Cabin In the Woods, though more from laziness than deliberate avoidance on my part), and I'm SO glad I got talked into seeing Get Out anyway.

For the record, I am not generally a fan of horror either.
Get Out is so much more than a horror film.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Get Out is barely a horror movie. I'd call it a thriller with horror elements? Unlike Cabin In the Woods, which is 100% a horror movie (along with being a big chunk of other stuff).
I was sort of spoiled, and it was still great.

Punishingly Intricate
Just saw Get Out and, yes, what everyone said. That's an interesting horror/thriller distinction. Do You think horor has to have some supernatural elements? Or is it a tone thing?

I guess both? I don't think I know how to articulate it.
