Yeah, its white people are evil instead, but the reviews are based on white guilt. I read a detailed synopsis. Not very impressive as a horror movie but works wonders to forward the narrative that white people prey on blacks.

This doesn't really work in terms of judging movies-- especially horror movies they're all about tone and direction and at times shock.
Psycho- Nutjob stabs blonde in the shower
Jaws- Shark eats people
etc.
A plot summary doesn't do much to differentiate Jaws and say Anaconda- they're both creature features about a larger version of a primal fear. Yet one is regarded as a legit classic and the other is a shitty J. Lo vehicle.

This is an excellent horror movie with good comic relief and well worth seeing.

I question it's positioning as a proper horror movie. To me, it's more along the lines of when they recut the Mary Poppins trailer as a psychological thriller, etc. You can induce horror elements into anything. That's what I think makes Peele's direction so remarkable in this case.

The random viewer reviews on RT are at 90% positive, so this theory simply doesn't hold up. Even with ample opportunity for angry white people to write negative reviews, only 10% claim they didn't enjoy it.
