I finally saw this tonight and holy crap...it's a damn good movie. Even with the hype, I didn't expect it. Good stuff.

I was a bit interested in seeing it as it looked creepy when I saw the trailers. I also heard a lot of people say how good it was. I went to go see it and while some stuff kind of annoyed me at first, the film kicked into high gear when things started coming together in the story. I liked it a lot.

My mother wanted to see this because she thought it was a love story. She became really confused when I told her it was horror.

Really, really liked it. It was a little more thriller than horror, but it really didn't need more action. It was a really nice exponential build to the end when things started happening. The race stuff didn't bother me. I don't know why it would. If race stuff makes you uncomfortable, why are you going to see a Jordan Peele movie? The guy made himself a huge star playing off of it, among other things. I thought it could have been a little funnier, but I understand that more jokes may have messed with the tense theme throughout. The TSA guy made the movie though. {Spoiler}When he hung up the phone and said "She's a genius." I lost it, but I was the only one. It was what I expected, but it wasn't. I totally bit on the ending, because you know how it looks when those cop lights show up right after he's choking her and covered in blood with a house full of bodies. The grandma and grandpa twist was really nice. Great, great movie.

Bleak endings to horror movies have become a cliche in their own right. Which I'm sure they were a response to the "survivor girl" endings that tied everything up in a neat little package. Also endings that don't give you a sense of closure are a bit of a throwback to seventies horror movies (like "Stepford Wives"). But I think they made the right choice after watching the movie yesterday because {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}You have this moment when you everyone else is dead and Rose is pretty much good as dead when you see sirens and you see how bad this looks that this white family and their servants are murdered and their house is torched and the only survivor is a bloodied black man. So we see how bad this looks out of context. Even more so when you consider the tense conversation with the cop on their drive up to the parents' house. So when the patrol cars' door opens and says "airport" implying it's Chris' TSA agent friend Rod, it got this huge pop from everyone in the theater. One of my favorite movie going moments. {Spoiler}The fact that stories of theater audiences popping huge for Rod saving the day are not uncommon probably makes having that ending be the right one for this movie.

The audiences all applauded when the end credits started (because it was a great movie, not because it ended).

This was absolutely spectacular and not overrated at all.
I somehow managed to avoid every single trailer, commercial and spoiler for it and went in knowing nothing other than seeing the poster (which I usually do for directors I like).
The tension, the subtleties hidden within the subtleties, the more I think about how perfectly everything was laid out, the more wonderful it was.
If you're on the fence, go see it. It's amazing.

That's an awesome breakdown of it. I thought the guy stood out to me {Spoiler}Because I thought he might be another one of the older white people who had his brain put into the body of a Asian man. Of course, that kinda doesn't make sense, because the technique that Armitage uses seems to be a fairly new technique, and I don't see anyone just deciding that they want to brainswap the body of an elderly Asian man, much less be able to survive it.
