plus as said many times making the villains a (supposedly) liberal family rather than some caricature rednecks was a nice touch.

so in regards to their 'slave' vessels, I'm assuming the film is suggesting the family members all play a part? as at the beginning, someone in a car abducts LaKeith Stanfield.
have to give it to Rose, though, hell of an investment she has to make every time, dating guys for like 4-5 months and actually having to invest in them before selling them out.

also poor Daniel Kaluuya just has no luck with women between this and Black Mirror, eh?
Caleb Landry Jones seems to play predominately creepy characters too, between this supporting role and the part he played in The Last Exorcism

One thing that's cool is that, even though it has a unique/transgressive subject matter, it really did have the rhythm and feel and plot devices of a traditional horror film without any winky-winky tropey-wopey Cabin in the Woods meta horseshit

ok but, how did his TSA friend find him at the end? or was that intentionally left as a plot hole for him to be able to make that joke?
― flopson, Sunday, 5 March 2017 14:34 (seven years ago) link
would think that a friend would leave an address that they're going to be at in case something goes wrong but idk.
the scene w/ Rose "acting" on the phone with TSA guy with steel, emotionless expression was classic. kind of illustrates how good she got at it.
and by acknowledging how weird her family was acting re: race, rather than pretending it wasn't happening, was easier to sucker him into trusting her...even AFTER he found those pics.
btw, did anybody catch that moment with the maid in the kitchen and Steenburgen standing next to her where she had this vacant, almost "wax figure" look on her face, like she was being 'reprogrammed'? that was beyond "fingers up your spine" to me.
I pretty much had a feeling that the help was going to be somehow connected to the souls of the dude's dead parents as soon as he said "after they died, I just couldn't let them go"...

that makes sense. I guess Rose has decided getting into 5 month relationships is the stealthier way to do it.
― waht, I am true black metal worrior (Neanderthal), Sunday, 5 March 2017 15:02 (seven years ago) link
he asked 'how did you find me?' though

yeah you're right.
I did kind of wonder about that myself but the last line was funny enough that I kinda figured "magic".

just wondering if i had missed something, cuz the rest of the movie was so tightly plotted. but i guess it was for the (very funny!) joke

saw this yesterday, was pretty great. the whooping and applause in the theater definitely was a net benefit to the experience

Haven't read the thread, because just saw this, and thought it was great. Maybe, I dunno, 5% too crazy? But the rest was ace, and there were all sorts of incredible beats rooted in real world horror, not fantastic stuff. I've heard all his usual comparisons - Rosemary's Baby and Stepford Wives - but I thought it was like "The Invitation" mixed with "White Dog."
I also love that the title (even though it is uttered in the movie) makes me think of the Eddie Murphy haunted house bit.

honestly to me it's the opposite, the horror (while very real) is very situational and based on the awkward/difficult social situations chris finds himself in, which are almost always played up for laughs

xpost Yeah, there are not many scares and there's not much blood or anything, but there is a general air of uneasy intensity rooted in character interaction, which is amplified by real world issues of race.

So I think definitely falls closer to the "satire" end of the spectrum.
supplemental calcium/vitamin D, milk or not, doesn't even prevent fractures in average-risk adults so this recommendation is stupid even if it's not "racist". cow's milk is basically useless calories
not really true! whole milk has protein, fat, b vitamins

Re: a bleaker ending, I was convinced that (remember there are SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD AND IN THIS POST):
When the car pulled up at the end it would be the cop from the beginning, who would then shoot him, a la Night of the Living Dead.
Milk is pretty gross as an adult, but (fortified) milk and potatoes alone can provide you with enough nutrition, at least for a while.
