Get Out

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Feb. 24, 2017 Entertainment
There's a terrific horror flick opening this week. Jordan Peele's debut feature scrupulously honors the genre's  conventions. Get Out never strays from the path of entertainment, yet the horrors of racism lurk in every gleefully lurid frame.

Get Out starts with a promising idea -- a black man's fear as he walks at night down a street in an affluent suburb. Then it delivers on that promise with explosive brilliance.
