The video is a review of the 2017 horror film "Get Out" by Jordan Peele, presented in a style that combines film analysis with a "kill count" of the movie's deaths. The host, James, provides a detailed breakdown of the plot, highlighting the film's themes of systemic racism, hypnosis, and the blurring of reality. He also notes the film's use of symbolism, particularly in its depiction of black characters and their experiences.
Throughout the review, James interjects with humorous comments and asides, often referencing pop culture and making wry observations about the film's more absurd moments. He also acknowledges the film's influences, including the work of George Romero, and notes the ways in which "Get Out" subverts traditional horror movie tropes.
As James tallies up the "kill count," he awards a "golden chainsaw" for the most creative death (Jeremy's impalement on a deer head) and a "moving doll machete" for the lamest death (Georgina's accidental killing). He concludes by praising the film's originality and impact, noting its critical and commercial success, and expressing enthusiasm for Jordan Peele's future work in the horror genre.
