GET OUT Screens at The St. Louis Library June 3rd – ‘RACE AND THE HORROR FILM’

“I want your eyes, man, I want those things you see through.”

GET OUT screens at 1pm Saturday June 3rd at The St. Louis Public Library Central Branch (1301 Olive Street St. Louis) as part of their 2-film  ‘RACE AND THE HORROR FILM’ series. A discussion follows the screening. This is a FREE event.

When Jim Batts reviewed GET OUT here at We Are Movie Geeks, he wrote: “…Peele throws us a curve by delivering a nail-biting action-packed finale that will have audiences cheering, despite the underlying bits of parody and satire. On so many levels, Jordan Peele’s “message monster movie”, GET OUT, is outstanding.” Read all of Jim’s review HERE

When Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a young African-American man, visits his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) family estate, he becomes ensnared in the more sinister, real reason for the invitation. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. This speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele (Key & Peele) is equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary.

Don’t miss this screening of GET OUT this Saturday at  The St. Louis Public Library Central Branch. The other film in the ‘RACE AND THE HORROR FILM’ series is GANJA AND HESS, which screens June 10th.
