Parent reviews for Get Out (2024)

Get Out (2017) follows a black man visiting his white girlfriends family for the first time, and it appears things are not as they seem when a sinister operation comes to light. Expect no violence until the last 20 minutes or so when things become very brutal and violent. Also expect language throughout the film.VIOLENCE: SEVEREA deer is hit by a car, and it is shown suffering in the woods crying with a bloody wound visible. A man is shown having his scalp cut into with a scalpel, and then we see his entire bloody scalp being disposed into garbage revealing his exposed and bloody skull. Then, his skull is drilled into seen from the other side of a panel, blood sprays down the panel and then we see the layer of skull being removed completely and graphically exposing his brain. This scene is apart of a consensual but sinister operation, and is graphic and bloody.A man is suddenly bashed on the head with a heavy ball. He is shown on the floor weeping in pain as blood spreads around his headwear before he is bashed again. Blood is shown spattered on the ball and we see the man’s motionless body.A man is impaled by an elk heads antlers. Blood splatters on the wall behind him and he is shown with blood run down his neck. When the antlers are pulled out blood pours out of his mouth and the several holes in his neck and body shown graphically with blood pouring out all over the place until he eventually collapses to the floor. Very bloody.A man is stabbed through the hand with a letter opener, he then turns his hand with the letter opener still inside of it and stabs the attacker in the face with it, but the camera cuts away on impact.A man is suddenly strangled violently, and to escape he stabs his attacker in the leg with a letter opener before kicking him to the ground and repeatedly stomping him (partially obscured) as he cries. We hear loud thumping and on the third stomp a crunching noise. He is killed.A car crashes with two people in it, the woman inside, afterwards, is shown with blood all over her face as she lies on the dashboard dead.A woman is shot in the stomach, blood spreads all over her shirt and spurts out of the wound before she falls to the ground before the shooter turns the gun and shoots himself in the head briefly spraying out blood. Afterwards, another man starts to strangle the woman who was previously shot, but stops and instead leaves her to bleed.All of this violence takes place in the final 20 minutes of the film. LANGUAGE: MODERATEAround 48 uses of “f*ck”, 40+ uses of “sh*t”, 1-2 uses of “n*gga”, a few uses of “b*tch” and brief uses of “hell”, “d*mn” and “ass”SEXUAL CONTENT: MILDComedic and non-serious reference to “sex slaves”, in order to make a man uncomfortable a woman tells him that she knows he thinks about “f*cking” her, some talk about sex, mild implications to sex and some sexual references.DRUG CONTENT: MILDA man is shown drunk and acting strangely, references to people being drunk and a theme of smoking and the desire to quit.OVERALL: 13+ for some strong brutal violence, brief gory images and for language.

Too much violence

Too much swearing

There are a few scenes of violence that include a somewhat graphic lobotomy, a woman being shot, and a man being stabbed with antlers. All brief scenes. A couple of sexual references. Some strong language as well.

Due to the presence of an important and timely satire, the actual quality of the movie is overlooked. It is a weird gore-fest that proves to be more of a misguided one-off indie movie than a professionally made award-winner. The basis of the movie belongs more in a sci-fi thriller than a “polished” horror movie and therefore many things seem out of place. The oddity of the ordeal coupled with the overall meaningless nature of the movie makes for “just another slasher flick”, who’s only redeeming factor is a somewhat potent satirical element.As for the content:There is a large amount of swearing, but nothing said is outlandishly graphic or rude, just a bit f—k, s—t, and one scene with the n-word (used in a friendly and not racist way.The movie is violent, but only for the last 20 minutes, and the violence is obviously fake. However, blood is shown (if that’s a sensitive aspect in your household).

Too much violence

Too much swearing

It's a very special horror/thriller movie that frightens it's viewers in a special way: There's only 7 kills, all of which occur in the last 20 minutes. The special thing about this movie is the fact that you are the main character, you know just as much as him (Except for the fact that you know that it is a horror movie). But that isn't something special right? Well, it is, because unlike many other horror movies, the main character isn't stupid and actually makes great choices (With a few exceptions, most are subjective though). This makes it a great movie that has everything in 1: Action, Thriller, Horror, Drama and Comedy. And most importantly, a great plot with a huge plot twist.However, you shouldn't be surprised when I say it is not a violent movie and not suitable for children under 15: The movie is about racism, there are very gory scenes and characters get killed. In my opinion, though, if your kid doesn't get scared of horror movies, 13 is a appropriate age. In addition to the great plot and moderate violence, there is a notable soundtrack too (Childish Gambino - Redbone). Overall, it's a very great movie and probably one of the best horror movie ever.

Great role models

Get Out is a game changer. A complex story that builds its case on minutia, no detail is too small. By the end of the film when we see the cop car pull up, everyone catches their breath because they fear that there will be one more death. This film successfully has every movie goer “see color” in that scene...and really the entire film...it is just at this point that it is undeniable to the viewer. Get Out marks a pre/post moment in film, where we will prefer our racial critique in a horror package than in a preachy social justice wrapper.

To much language not for kids violence and sex

Too much violence

Too much sex

Too much swearing

Too much consumerism

I am a kid (13), just on a parent account but here's my honest review. I recently watched this movie with my dad, and I LOVED it. The plot was very nice, it also had a great hidden message to it. The only reason I couldn't give it that extra star is because of the excessive swearing. My parents aren't TOO strict but even my dad was iffy about it. It still was a great film, made me laugh a few times and I do recommend it to kids my age if you're into this kind of suspenseful and kind of creepy films. In fact, I recommend you guys to watch ALL the jordan peele films, this one is probably my favorite though.

Educational value

Too much swearing

SPOILERSI am a fan of jordan peele movies Except for one thing he has a lot of explicit unnecessary language I think swearing really brings out emotion in characters but the catfish or the protagonists girlfriend just had unnecessary swearing it really didn’t tell anything she was in a normal conversation and she says F*** And something about that ruins a film there is some good parts of the movie that almost need swearing to show the characters emotion but to be honest i think they over did it. This film shows rich white people that gather together and hold auctions for black people. The father being a brain surgeon takes the black victims and does brain transplants that allow the old man to be in a young strong mans body being a black person they are typically stronger than the average white person So yes it shows brain surgery their is stabbing and killing with guns Including a man shooting himself It’s disturbing but it shows very smart ways of killing people with no average weapon. I like this film and would rate it full stars if there was no unnecessary swearing.

Too much swearing

Save you money and 2 hours of your time for something worth watching. It wasn’t funny, cute, or worth my time.

Too much violence

Its a pretty great horror thriller with great plot both scary and creepy for horror movies and R rated films its pretty mild except the bloody surgery scene and swearing most the time is the S word F word and N word
