Is anyone else kind of surprised that this keeps being labelled as a horror-comedy? Every article I'm seeing describes it as such, and emphasizes the comedy part.
Sure, there are some humorous moments in it (e.g., the scenes with the friend), but for the most part, the film had a serious, creepy and disturbing tone.
Personally, I just don't think "horror-comedy" is a very fitting label. What do you guys think?

I think I would call it more a satire than a horror comedy and I could be wrong but I think the stepford wives is a satire and that is not a comedy unless you watch the remake even if there might be stuff in it that could be ridiculous

at first when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was a spoof from Jordan peele. I didn't think it was a real movie even seeing the universal logo. lol. well, now we know. lol.

I'd say more thriller territory, but as far as the comedy goes, I think it's funnier than people think it is. And it all comes from the awkwardness that still exists, for black people in the middle of a bunch of white people, but also in white people who still don't seem to know just what to say or how to act in front of black people.

I had the same thought coming out of the cinema. This is definitely a horror film with comedy elements, but the comedy doesn't overpower the other elements of the film. It simply uses it as light relief from the otherwise terrifying and tense atmosphere that continues to build around this strange family of white liberals.

I would call this a horror movie with specks of a "dark" comedy in it, pun intended.

It's as much of a comedy as Scream.

i think the horror/comedy label is right. i laughed many times, but was unnerved many times too.

Well the parts with the friend is certainly a comedy but the rest of the film, oh my gosh, this film actually creeped me out. It wasn't a full on horror either, it was more of a mystery thriller, just with a little ounce of comedy and some horror to the mix.

I love how it built the tension gradually and didn't go for the quick scares... but it was also hillarious...
The outdoor party/gathering scene with Chris being introduced to all the elderly people? I burst out laughing several times, even while being creeped out by the whole thing...

If you have a non-white POV it is hilarious start-to-finish.

Even with my relatively while POV it's pretty damned funny!

I abhor horror movies, and a thriller needs to be really worthy for me to view. So I put off Get Out. But I needn't have, because it is in my view a very funny movie. If I had to label it I would call it a political comedy drama. But this movie really is into uncharted territory.
This movie has far more in common with Shaun of the Dead or Young Frankenstein than any teenage slasher movie. There are zero jump scenes and there is almost no real violence. The violence you do see is usually done comedically. C'mon, a guy uses a stuffed deer head to kill an insane guy doing brain transplants. If you are seeing that as anything other than comedy then you might need the brain transplant guy yourself. That the actors play it 'eyebrows down' is clever scripting and direction. Pitch perfect in my view.
