9 Horror Movies That Reward You For Paying Attention
6. Get Out Cues Up Georgina As A "Piece" Of The Family
If you pay attention, there are numerous warning signs as to the sinister secrets at the core of Jordan Peele's phenomenal Get Out.
That secret would be that that the community inhabited by Chris Washington's girlfriend Rose and her parents is actually a body-snatching scheme where young black people are hypnotised in order for their bodies to be replaced with old white folks.
Featured in the film's opening credits and several other times dotted throughout the picture, there is a constant warning to Chris in the form of Michael Abels' musical score. Titled Sikiliza Kwa Wahenga, the English translation of this Swahili song is imploring Chris to "listen to the ancestors", to "run" and to "run far". Given what would eventually play out in Get Out, this is absolutely the perfect advice for a character who is at risk of losing his very body.
For those not fluent in Swahili, though, one other major red flag for Chris is during his arrival at the Armitage household. While giving a tour of the house, family patriarch Dean explains how the kitchen was always his mother's favourite part of the house, detailing how they keep a piece of her in there.
Right on cue, housekeeper Georgina enters the shot - with it later revealed that she is the "piece" in question, for Dean's mother's brain is in the vessel of Georgina.
