Summary

Oscar-winning horror mystery starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams. Chris, a young African-American photographer, is understandably anxious when he's invited to stay with his wealthy white girlfriend's parents at their family estate. Admitting she hasn't told them he's black only adds to Chris's apprehension, but mum and dad are warm and welcoming. However, as the weekend unfolds, Chris begins to suspect all is not as it seems.

Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Trevor Johnston

A young Black man's anxiety about meeting his white girlfriend's posh parents for the first time proves to be well founded, but not in the way he expected, as this socially aware horror mystery unfolds. Initially accepting the assurances of Rose (Allison Williams) that they're liberal Obama voters, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) soon finds himself caught off-guard by the curious demeanour of their oddly obsequious Black servants. However, weirder and more threatening experiences await as the country mansion gradually divulges its secrets. Delivered from a definite African-American perspective that provocatively addresses simmering racial tensions in Trump-era America, TV comic Jordan Peele's debut feature bravely eschews the carnage of much contemporary horror fare and embraces the classic storytelling of a previous period. Here you'll find the subtle unease of Rosemary's Baby and the imaginative shock-value of a vintage Twilight Zone episode, in a film that's both combative in its themes and highly accomplished in execution. Altogether remarkable, and the less you know going in, the further your chin will drop.
