Get Out – Small hints about the twist scattered throughout the story

Get Out is one of only a small handful of modern horror movies on this list, but with good reason. When it was first released, nobody expected it to blow up the way it did, but it became a smash hit. Not only was it scary, but it was also an interesting story about race issues in America, and horror movies with a strong message about our society aren’t that common.

In Get Out, an African-American man named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) takes a trip to visit his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) parents for the weekend. The color of his skin seems to make the overwhelmingly white neighborhood uneasy, but when he realizes what’s really going on with Rose’s family, it might be too late.

If you haven’t seen Get Out yet, you may want to stop reading now. But the film’s big twist is that the family and their friends aren’t weird about Chris’s presence because he’s black; they’re weird about it because he’s black and they want to take over his body.

It turns out that the Armitage family kidnaps unsuspecting black people and switches their brains with the members of their family; their black maid and groundskeeper are actually Rose’s grandmother and grandfather, which is why they’re so uncomfortable when Chris approaches them.

There are several moments throughout the movie that hint at the big twist that many people may have looked right over. Early in the movie, Rose seems like she’s sticking up for Chris when they’re pulled over by the police, but really she’s just trying to avoid a paper trail. If they ran their licenses, someone would know they were together, and would surely suspect Rose when Chris inevitably goes missing.

Also, Rose’s mother, Missy, is always on Chris’ case about his smoking, because it’s bad for her daughter’s health. That’s not really why. She wants him to stop smoking so his body would be more desirable at their auction for his new host.

Lastly, when the guests show up for the party at the Armitage house, a lot of people found it odd that they greeted the groundskeeper with hugs. But the guests know the man well since he’s actually Roman Armitage, Rose’s grandfather. It’s crazy to think of all these details being right in front of our eyes, and we had no idea!
