Easily one of the most terrifying horror films I have seen in the last couple of years, the reality of the film turned out to be much less traditionally “horror” than I had expected (no real ghosts or zombies to really speak of) and to avoid spoilers, I won’t mention much more beyond that, since I would recommend anyone who was even remotely interested in seeing the film to go and see it while its still in theaters. The thing I found most fascinating about this film is how Jordan Peele has this way, it seems, of making the most “ordinary” of atmospheres unsettling in that we don’t really know why what we’re seeing makes us uncomfortable (for example, Nyong’o’s doppelganger’s laugh at the end of the first trailer), but for whatever reason, they do, and for me, this was one of those rare films where, for its entirety, you don’t really know what could possibly happen next, but you know its not good, and you know, in some way, the “heroes” could lose.
