Not a bad home invasion movie, but it has been done better by others. Get Out is superior.

I will say the dialogue and casting were very good. Lupita Nyong'o is very talented and so beautiful. I just cringed when I saw the scissors against her face imaging her skin being scared.

Red's exposition on what is happening really doesn't hold together very well. I look at her as more like an unreliable narrator.

Still I think Jordan Peele is one of the best up and coming directors out there right now, and I am looking forward to his future work.

He is directing the rebooted Twilight Zone, and I am very excited for it.
