Peele employs suspense and tension throughout most of the movie - with some comedy on the side, of course - and then lowers the hammer with a finale that's demented fun. The movie's all about a young black guy who heads off with his white girlfriend to meet her oh-so-progressive family, and realizes that something is very wrong with the racial divide in this sleepy little town.
