I watched this movie because they alluded to the fact that the producers also worked on Get Out and Us, giving the impression that it was going to have a bit of flair like those movies. I was wrong. I really wish they would have just promoted it based on the actual writers and directors, but then I guess people would have been more skeptical.
It took me up to the Uber and phone scene to figure out that she had been kidnapped. The film just didn't make much sense up to that point.
Was there a horror, yes, in the fact that these people were really-enacting aspects of history and kidnapping black men and women to be their "slaves" was despicable and horrific. The fact that these were educated, professionals that were made to be nothing more than "cotton pickers", who were demeaned, marginalized, beat, murdered and belittled was a bit more than I bargained for with this movie.
