Jordan Peele‘s directorial debut, “Get Out,” ends with an unforgettable subversion of audience expectations. But as it turns out, Peele originally intended a far grimmer conclusion to his horror movie examination of American racism.
In the ending you’ll see in theaters, after Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) narrowly escapes enslavement and mutilation at the hands of the Armitage family — by killing them — he finds himself on a deserted stretch of road, leaning over his fatally wounded, vengeful ex-girlfriend Rose Armitage (Allison Williams). At that moment, a police car drives up, and a very resigned-to-his-fate Chris raises his hands. Moviegoers brace for the worst — but instead of trigger happy cops, Chris’ friend Rod steps out of the car. Thus Chris is saved.
But Peele initially intended a much darker outcome for Chris that goes exactly where you think it’s going in those final moments.
“There is an alternate ending in which the cops actually come at the end,” Tracy Clayton, BuzzFeed’s Another Round podcast co-host, said she had heard. “He gets locked up and taken away for slaughtering an entire family of white people and you know he’s never getting out, if he doesn’t get shot there on the spot.”
