Why this new racially charged horror movie has a rare perfect score from critics

It's very rare, even close to unseen, for a wide-release movie to get a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes just a day before its release. A score of 100% means that every critic who has seen the movie so far gave it a positive review.

Even some of the movies you'd expect to have a perfect score don't have one. This honor is primarily reserved for classic films including "Citizen Kane," "All About Eve," "Singing "in the Rain," and "North by Northwest."

But before its opening weekend, Jordan Peele's comedy-horror mashup film "Get Out" has managed to move up the ranks and earn this high honor, with 78 100% positive reviews counting as of this writing.

"Get Out" addresses issues of race in the United States in ways that are uncomfortable, gruesome, and at times also uncomfortably funny. It's especially timely given the current political climate. The sketches on Peele's Comedy Central sketch show "Key & Peele," which ended in 2015, often addressed racial issues and blended comedy with the horror genre but never to an extent as serious as his directorial debut, which according to what critics are saying so far, is working out beautifully.
