This smart horror film announced Jordan Peele as a filmmaker of the future. The scariness here is not from monsters or other paranormal creatures, but the real life horror of racial tension. It's sharp and satirical and sadly still as relevant today as the day it was released as it still makes you reflect on what you've seen.
