Featured reviews
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.
You should watch this movie from an inner perspective. In my opinion, the writer was trying to take the viewer on a mystery ride. The plot set your emotion to think something horrific is going to happen; specially when achole is involved. Nice movie with classic music to add to the mood.
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.
This is a well-made film about something genuinely interesting in real life: the little mystery of why young men so often feel the need to appear ghoulish even when they're basically decent. Maybe it's the same reason people watch horror movies: to play with scary stuff in a safe space.
Unfortunately, while making a faux horror movie out of young men's faux horror might make a nice point, the result here is altogether too much safe space. At almost no point do these guys seem genuinely threatening and the only trace of jeopardy is the risk of alcohol poisoning. Well-written, shot and acted though it all is, the whole thing feels basically pointless.

I waited and waited for something to happen. But all I did was waste time of my life. I would rather watch paint dry while being poked in my eye with a toothpick. Is it possible to give no stars? I'm saying no spoilers cause there is nothing to spoil unless you like garbage.
