Get Out Official Trailer 1 (2017) - Daniel Kaluuya Movie

Jordon Peele’s Oscar-winning psychological thriller is about a Black man (Daniel Kaluuya) who makes the grave error of accompanying his white girlfriend (Allison Williams) on a trip to her family estate where unspeakable horrors take place. The A.V. Club’s writes, “Opening at a time when White supremacists have crashed the White House, Peele’s clever, incisive foray into genre cinema makes a point much more frightening than any jump scare or torture chamber: Being Black in America is often its own horror movie.” The movie also stars Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, and teaspoon-stirring Catherine Keener.
