Jordan Peele's Get Out is a master course in horror, where one can find social commentary embedded in the nail-biting tension. The movie was about a Black man going to his white girlfriend's family, and its premise was about race, privilege, and exploitation while maintaining its roots as horror. Peele's incisive direction and societal insights propelled Get Out to cultural relevance, with high critical acclaim and an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Peele's initial effort redefined modern horror films and proved his capacity to merge genre filmmaking with thought-provoking narratives.
