Chris, a young black man, is nervous about meeting the parents of his white girlfriend Rose. However, while her parents seem overly friendly and liberal, their black staff behave in a very odd manner. Jordan Peele's wonderfully assured directorial debut is a darkly comic horror film which takes a totally fresh approach to dealing with racism. Peele's Academy Award winning screenplay sprinkles subtle clues along the way to its tense climax.
