In almost every horror there is always a monster/murderer that the audience could clearly see that he or she would be the one that would create the trouble throughout the entire movie. However, in the film Get Out(2017) directed by John Peele that was not exactly the case. At the beginning of the movie, everything seemed pretty normal. A typical first visit to the family where the boyfriend gets to meet the girlfriend family and vice versa. However, the audience started to realize that Chris's girlfriend and her family were the ones that were messed up when the Dad used the same sentence as Rose used when Chris was worried that her parents would not like him just because the fact that he was African American. That was the turning point for us the audience to know that something was not right. Which was really smooth what Peele did because it drags the audience attention and make us connect the dots. In addition, this film uses the typical jump scares when the housekeeper just started following and paying close attention to Chris moves. Also, when she keeps appearing and disappearing from Chris. He included the diegetic sound of the spoon whenever Missy would stir the tea. He uses that at the beginning when Chris first was being hypnotized and neither him or us knew that later on that would become the point that would cause Chris to get hypnotized. Also throughout the entire movie, Peele decided to incorporate racism as the pin point of the family because I think they are the weaker race which would make the family hypnotized and do this crazy process way easier than someone that is Caucasian. Therefore, this is a way to show the audience who has the power.
In the last scenes when the audience and even Chris confirmed that in fact the family and including his girlfriend where the psychos of the movie. Peele decided to included blood and murders which is typically what happens in every scary which would make Chris the "Final Girl/Boy." Throughout that entire process, it makes the audience engage more with Chris and puts on in the constant fight that Chris have to get out of that house. Overall, this movie was really good because it is one of those scary movies that engages with audience and make the audience be part of the fight. Which makes the audience watch it a second time to realize and connect more dots.
