Actor and comedian Jordan Peele made his directorial debut in 2017 with the Academy Award-winning Get Out, a horror movie about an African-American man named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) who makes several disturbing discoveries when he visits his Caucasian girlfriend's (Allison Williams) family home. Get Out is brilliant for many reasons. It's original, funny, and crucially, genuinely scary. With its premise being a bunch of rich white people using Black people in insidious ways, it also carries a deeper message, acting as a social commentary about racism, privilege, and America at large. Chris's discovery that the Armitage family have been making hosts out of Black people through some twisted brain transplant procedure is an apt reflection on the fetishization of Black bodies: the Armitage family desire Black hosts because of their supposed physical superiority.
