10 Horror Movie Secrets We All Missed
10. The Opening Song Contains A Secret Warning Message - Get Out
Jordan Peele's Oscar-winning horror satire Get Out is absolutely jam-packed with ingenious Easter eggs and references, but one of the most easily missed secrets occurs in the first two minutes of the movie.
The opening titles are backed by a distinctive piece of music being sung in Swahili, entitled "Sikiliza."
The song's lyrics translate as such: "Brother, listen to the ancestors. Run! You need to run far! (Listen to the truth). Brother, listen to the ancestors. Run! Run! To save yourself, listen to the ancestors."
Obviously these lyrics dovetail perfectly into the themes and situations of the movie itself, as protagonist Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) finds himself on the run from crazy white people who wish to hijack his body for their own nefarious uses.
The song re-appears several times throughout the film and seems to serve as a subconscious warning of-sorts for Chris, even if 99% of viewers have never even noticed.
