GET OUT
January 11, 2018  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET

 

Comedian Jordan Peele stunned audiences by making an astounding successful, creepy, and only occasionally and intentionally funny horror movie with this 2017 thriller, Get Out. In this wonderfully spun story, written and directed by Peele, Daniel Kaluuya stars as Chris, who is being taken by his girlfriend, Rose (played by Allison Williams from Girls), on a weekend vacation to meet her parents for the first time. He’s black, she’s white – and what happens once they arrives is, among other things, a modern approximation of Rod Serling’s classic The Twilight Zone. And as such, it served as a winning audition: Peele, the former co-star of Comedy Central’s Key and Peele, has been hired to oversee a new version of The Twilight Zone, which will be presented exclusively on the CBS All Access streaming service.
