Tyrel

This movie follows the story of a young black man in a a group of hard partying but well meaning white guys. It's deadly accurate in setting the tone of what that feels like but kinda falls short in the end. Kind of like a more realistic Get Out without the sci-fi twist to it. A good watch if you've ever been in this situation before!

Tyrel is the only black male in a group of white birthday revellers in a secluded cabin. The movie shows Tyrel's uneasiness in being amongst this group, having probably never been exposed to such group before. As the movie unfolds, Tyrel got drunk and lost all inhibition and there we see the ugly side of someone not belonging in a group situation. Interesting look at the differences of culture, through music and substance abuse, ultimately showing that we are more alike than not.

It's a vibe. It's realistic. No there is no crazy ending but that's not the point. The racism in the movie is real life. It's uncomfortable but without the crazy ending. I liked it. I liked how it left me like "What the hell?"

I honestly don't know why everybody is comparing this movie with Get Out. Both are completely different stories and the only thing they have in common is that there is one black man surrounded by white people. Get Out is a great movie, Tyrel is not even a movie to me, it's more like watching drunk people at a party where you are the only sober one. Tyrel, which is not even his name, is the most annoying character of this movie, bad luck for us that he is the major character. The story, if you can call that a story since nothing significant is happening, is just a long wait for action or whatever and at one point you just realize that this won't be happening in this movie and then you just lose interest. I had to fight not to fall asleep with this one, and it was in the middle of the day.

As a black man in his 40's I must say this is the scariest movie I've ever seen. I was petrified from beginning to end...
