Get Out - saw again w Alt ending also and WOW! (Spoilers) [View all]

The alt ending (where he gets arrested) is not nearly as bad or brutal and I thought it would be. He is sanguine about his hopeless situation (house burned down so can't prove his in innocence ) because at least he stopped the cult from functioning. That said I'm glad he got to reshoot it with the kickass happy ending.

Seeing it the second time I realized how many little moments I missed - especially Rose watching bemusedly while her families and the party guests are hinting at their real interest in Chris. She's really like a cat playing with a trapped mouse on the second watch. So evil. It's so loaded with hints as to what's going on but it's all cloaked into what amounts to almost a mockery of the "microagressions".

All the symbolism, weird funny moments, all the jump scares and building dread it reminds me of So many of my favorite movies, everything Hitchcock, Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, Deliverance, that one with the pod people. I'm so glad I caught it in the theater but rewatching it I keep picking up things I missed. Such an amazing film.
