"Taken together, the essays in this collection, in their distinct
illumination of the film's generic interventions and political
revelations, provide a must-read for scholars and students of
American studies, film and media studies, cultural studies, as well
as general fans of the film and horror more broadly." --Harriet
Stilley, Revenant Journal
"Dawn Keetley's edited volume Jordan Peele's Get Out: Political
Horror is the best advertisement for the blockbuster debut film.
The book provides viewers with a manual to investigate all of the
film's nuances, not only the overt but especially the hidden
meanings elucidated throughout the sixteen essays. ... This book is
an excellent text for graduate level film studies students."
--Rebecca Hankins, SFRA Review
"The book provides a comprehensive analysis and a framework for
understanding Get Out. Just when I thought, 'Okay, we've now seen
every way we could approach this film, ' the next essay would
reframe it in a new way that made me think and then rethink."
--Kevin J. Wetmore Jr.
