Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: I liked Get Out but its universal acclaim led me to expect a classic

[quote name="Fullofkittens"], which it is not. It's a good horror movie, not a great one. I felt like <i>It Follows</i> had something subtly interesting to say about horror movies from a feminist perspective and I appreciated it for that reason, and <i>Get Out</i> is...<b>a little less subtle</b> but is still interesting in that way from an African-American perspective. Maybe the lack of subtlety is a good thing: my MAGA coworker that wouldn't agree that <i>It Follows</i> is a feminist vampire movie or that <i>Frozen</i> is about coming out walked in the day after seeing it and said "It was interesting to think about how those people might feel about groups of people like me," which, holy shit, looks like <i>Diff'rent Strokes</i> is back on the air you guys! As a horror movie, it's engaging enough to sit through and enjoy but - like <i>It Follows</i> - it's not going on any list of Greatest Horror Movies. It's not scary; the social commentary is the most interesting thing about it. I did think Betty Gabriel's performance was off-the-charts awesome, no spoilers but she has an amazing monologue, totally riveting. As usual I agree with Jay from RLM: it's an excellent feature-length <i>Tales from the Crypt</i> episode. [youtube id="G6IZHrIviFo"][/quote]
