This is definitely a horror movie in the sense it made me feel part of the action that was going on. The movie set a very strong atmosphere that put you into the moment and made you feel the pathos and dread from the moment the Dramatics was interrupted from singing their piece from the commotion outside. The characters made very compelling performances. Despite this being a movie depicting racism in those times, I don't feel it's as vicious as it is today and think today it's gotten worst than what is depicted in the movie. Suburbicon is another movie like this. When you deal with Southern civil rights and Jim Crow laws, yeah, allot has changed between then and now. However, when you deal with pockets of Northern racism which include police brutality, or people calling 911 for nothing, etc.... then sadly, nothing has changed since the time this movie was made but got worst since Blacks, as a community, are more jailed, fragmented, and less unified than those times, and videos of killings by police officers do nothing to convict a police officer, unless the officer is not white.
