Get Out (2017)

The horror genre has seen a transformation this decade. Moving on from the PG-13 J-horror adaptations and the torture porn films that dominated the previous decade, a diverse range of storytelling has seen the genre reach new heights with Jordan Peele's Get Out being a true standout. Its near universal praise, which led to an Oscar nomination for Peele, was supported by the positive word of mouth as it became a huge hit that has given the comedian-turned-director clout beyond imagination.
