It still has a 100% on rotten tomatoes with 130 reviews submitted. That's a pretty good feat.
It's technically at 99% now, but I personally say it's still at 100%, because the single Rotten review of it is this hilarious review [http://www.nationalreview.com/article/445206/jordan-peeles-get-out-trite-get-whitey-movie] from professional review troll Armond White.

It's just more of the race-baiting, politically correct, "feel bad for being white, or else you're a racist", garbage that's flooded pop culture lately.

Can you imagine if it was reversed, and this was a movie about how scary black people look from a white person's perspective? A horror movie where blacks are portrayed as the cardboard cut out stereotypes the white characters in this movie are?
All the hipsters who are defending this movie now, would be marching down the street foaming at the mouth and calling anyone who liked it a racist!

Racism is still racism when it's black people doing it, and it's just as ignorant.
You, of course, realize that Hollywood has for decades coded non-white people as monsters and horror movies in particular have a history of rote "they didn't listen to the conservative worldview and [x] now they're dead"? You don't seem too upset previous horror movies pushed an agenda.
The whole point of Cabin in the Woods was poking fun at horror's traditional morality fable structure, and what makes, the original Texas Chainsaw so unnerving is it's apparent lack of moral centre.

Technically the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a tale about eating meat, using animals.

And you do, of course, realize that wealthy white people are segregating themselves from other social and ethnic groups and are the beneficiaries of generational wealth?

But fuck it right, the only movie allowed to touch on society is American Sniper.
You still don't get it. Every push of a liberal worldview is social engineering (aka teh badz) while every push of a conservative worldview is just life.

Attack of the Social Engineers.

Personally, I reckon when people complain about "social engineering" I imagine the Imperial theme must be playing in their head.

Transgender equality in the workplace, education and housing....?


Muslim bans? Destroying the EPA? 40% tariffs against China? How could anyone not see how benign and thoroughly not rocking the boat those are?
