Jessi B @ahumblebard Feb 1, 2026 Absolutely incredible documentary. If you love horror movies and horror history, this is required viewing.

If you think you already know it all, and you are not a POC(I am white), then I assure you that you will learn something new! Fantastic cast- including my one of my favorite actors of all time Tony Todd-RIP beautiful man!

Should be considered required viewing for any film fan, horror or otherwise.

I was expecting something different and a little more imaginative and thoughtful with the horror but man there was just some vile horror in this. Mostly blood and guts. Just not pleasant stuff. Very carnal. I was also expecting more Jordan Peele. He was good in it. It was cool seeing and hearing Keith David in there, rocking his Gargoyles hat which gave me joy. It wasn't as educational as I thought it was going to be. There was some good info but I felt like some of the people were reaching for metaphors that weren't there like with the King Kong metaphor, but who knows. There was just a lot of carnal hatred from both sides of the racial spectrum in the film, but there is also some light. It is good to see that people can feel strengthened by seeing someone that looks like them. And of course seeing past race and connecting with someone who may not look like them as was addressed in the film with Get Out. Not a great doc, but I feel there's probably a better documentary out there perhaps on the more general film genre on this issue. See more Read all reviews
