9. Get Out
Now that Chris and his girlfriend Rose have reached the meet-the-parents milestone, she invites him for a weekend getaway in her parent’s home upstate. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship. But as the weekend progresses, a series of disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.
This smart horror film announced Jordan Peele as a filmmaker of the future. The scariness here is not from monsters or other paranormal creatures, but the real life horror of racial tension. It's sharp and satirical and sadly still as relevant today as the day it was released as it still makes you reflect on what you've seen.
