I thought it was OK, but like I joked in the "overrated movie" thread, I think Get Out is this year's Mad Max (but not nearly to that level) in that it's the movie I just don't quite get all the critics gushing over.
Before I go on, I will say that I find you to be an interesting case, and maybe I am misreading some of your comments in the last few years. I grew up on horror and metal, and I ended up defending both against comments brushing them off as trash, pointless, disgusting, whatever. Feels like they are the redhead stepchildren of the movies and music and most people I knew that loved one of them also loved the other, and still do. You seem to have broken up with the horror genre for the most part, and even seem to go to the point of bashing it which I find interesting. Seems like people either dug it for "fun" of watching the deaths and the gore - maybe a slasher movie or something like Final Destination, or they realize that a lot of the movies were also trying to say something while scaring you - Dawn of the Dead perhaps, or both. I am just curious if you just tired of the blood, don't like the new wave of horror, don't think they say much anymore, or what. I just take your comments like "After all, how much blood and misogyny can a dude stand?" almost like you generally have dismissed the genre, as that feels like something a person who never liked the genre to begin with would say. But then you just went to the screening of The Thing... Just curious about your stance on that or what your cutoff is now.
Anyway, about Get Out - I watched it again and felt the same way the second time. IMO it's fine as a satire and comment on race, but I don't think it's that great of a horror movie, so I didn't really get into it. Ones in the genre that I think are great have some scares and then on rewatches you start to be able to pick up on things that might be a little deeper. To me this one was the opposite - it's wearing it's commentary on it's sleeve and leading with that, but the rest is stuff I have seen before with movies like Stepford Wives, Stir of Echoes and others so I didn't find it as compelling. In the last couple years movies like The Babadook and It Follows have also gotten a good amount of critical praise (usually the ones that have some sort of social commentary do), and I thought those were better horror movies because they delivered the scares for me and had something else. I didn't hate Get Out, just that my rating would be more 5-6/10, and don't get it being on so many top 10 lists and being up for an Oscar is all.

, but I get the point you are driving at.
