Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? meets The Stepford Wives in this creepy anthropological and psychological sleeper hit.

Like Sidney Poitier, Daniel Kaluuya’s Chris is invited by his white girlfriend to meet the folks. Like Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn, Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener are upper middle class liberals, brimming with bonhomie. He is a neurosurgeon and she is a psychiatrist. And they both want to play in, and with their daughter’s intended’s brain.

Whitford and Keener are quietly chilling as the outwardly normal but inwardly unhinged couple. They and their white friends go out of their way to connect with Chris in a cringe worthy display to show how anti-racist they are. But it’s a sinister spin on the “Does protest too much” suspicion of sincerity as cringe turns into creepy as Chris notices the only black people in the coterie of a weekend get together – the gardener, the maid and the much younger husband of a matronly white neighbour – seem to have been lobotimised.

Daniel Kaluuya is brilliant as the wary and socially aware Chris. Chris’ paranoid friend Rod, played with comic gusto by Milton “LilRey” Howery is a brilliant complimenting contrast.

Stephen Root’s blind art dealer is also a notable creation.

Michael Abels stand out score is well, a stand out. His main theme, Sikiliza Kwa Wahenga, is like an African Ave Santani, Jerry Goldsmith’s Academy Award Winning score for the Omen. There is a whispering chorus with gospel undertones accompanying pluck hill billy strings.

Childish Gambino’s Redbone also makes an astonishing audio appearance.

Flanagan and Allen’s Run Rabbit Run, has ominous intent in a pre title sequence.

Slavery, incarceration and eugenics are weighty subjects examined here but savvy writer director Jordan Peele leavens both the cringe and the creepy with comedy and so GET OUT becomes a scary satire, that shows that racial prejudice is more than just skin deep. Get out and see it!
