Get Out, released in 2017, follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) as he meets his girlfriend’s family for a weekend getaway, only to discover that the family isn’t what it seems. The horror flick was praised for its script, performances, and how it subverts audience expectations and classic horror tropes.
Peele won Best Original Screenplay for the film, which also earned nominations for Best Picture, Director (Peele), and Actor (Kaluuya).
