Despite its social commentary, "Get Out" still provokes what movie audiences crave, including jump scares and nervous laughter. This isn’t one of those movies you want to see in an empty theater once it's been out for a couple of weeks. With an empty theater, it just won’t be as fun and exciting. The movie incites audience reaction that adds to the whole experience.

“This one really should be seen with a crowd,” Michael Phillips wrote in the Chicago Tribune.

Despite the daring premise and elements of horror, Peele doesn't let his comedic genius so beloved from "Key & Peele" go unnoticed.

"'Get Out' is an absolutely brilliant and original horror film. Imagine a devilishly twisted update of 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.' 'Get Out' is scary, laugh-out-loud funny, and an inspired satire of interracial relationships," MovieWeb wrote.

The comedy is just a breath of fresh air from the terror and the intesnity of the movie. Many critics agree that it's a genuinely scary horror movie, combining a lot of elements that work really well together.

"All told, this is a sharp, funny, brave movie that strikes the perfect balance between humor and horror. It's the year's first must-see," Newsday said.

"It is not only the best horror film since 'Under the Skin,' but a subversive and often hilarious commentary on race as well," the Boston Globe said.

"Get Out" isn't critiquing what or who you think it's critiquing.

"'Get Out' is a stinging criticism of the white liberalism that carries itself as empathetic towards blacks, but that empathy only extends as far as white control," Collider said. " The film functions like a punch in the mouth to every Obama voter that went to Trump."

With a cast including Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, and Allison Williams of "Girls," we'd expect nothing less. But the film's breakout performance is from its star, Daniel Kaluuya.

“Whitford and Keener in particular are having a ball, letting something a little sinister bubble up in their outwardly friendly behavior. But it's Kaluuya who stands out most,” the Arizona Republic wrote.
