The eroticism 䏿–‡call is coming from inside the house. That's the message that Jordan Peele is driving home in his terrifying, keep-you-up-at-night movieUs.
Without giving too much away, the premise of this film centres on society's fear of the unknown and of outsiders -- and the destructive power of those fears.
At a time when racism, white supremacy, islamophobia, and xenophobia are rife, Peele's "social horror" feels timely and necessary.
I asked Peele what he hoped Donald Trump would glean if he were to watch the movie.
"First of all I would hope he'd be focusing a little bit more on his job than watching this movie, but in some ways no, I want him to not focus on his job," Peele said.

"It is a misplaced one when you take into account the damage we do to ourselves. The real monster is homegrown."
"The real monster is homegrown."
Historically in horror movies, black characters rarely survive to the end of the film. But this trope is one that Peele turned on its head in Get Out. Peele told Mashable that he's deliberately trying to take his audience's expectations and "use that against them" to give them an original experience.
"There's a greater responsibility that I feel to push the boundaries of representation in the genre," said Peele. "I think it has a very important ripple effect when we see stories that, as black people, we haven't seen, and show us in ways that reveal a new tone to the spectrum that we know is us.
"It's important for everyone else to see those different sides of black identity as well."
