Plot Summary:
A young Black photographer travels with his white girlfriend to
meet her parents at their secluded estate for a weekend getaway.
While initially interpreting their overly accommodating behavior
as awkward, well-intentioned nervousness, he soon discovers the
family's sinister, deeply disturbing motives for inviting him.
Suspicion turns to survival as he attempts to escape.

Dad's Preview:
If you are a lover of films that psychologically devastate, this
is your winner of the week. It plays on many mental horrors that
trouble us all in our nightmares: being strapped helplessly in a
chair, being hypnotized, being preyed on by a murder-cult. Add to the
mix several terrors centered on a secret society that
abducts black people for their nefarious pleasures. Jordan Peele's directorial debut is a rollercoaster ride that would
thrill the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Sterling. How this
film builds dread is truly masterful. This flick flies by, and
before you know it, the ending... and I mean THAT ending... hits
you hard. This great film sets a new standard for the
psychological thriller. |
