Get Out the film is used as an example of Afrofuturism when it is not. In fact, Jordan Peele was specifically invoking the aesthetic of Rosemary's Baby and the Stepford Wives for this movie, and not anything specifically African/Pan-African. And it's not even set in the future, not even 20 minutes into the future, but in the very 'here' present. Basically, having a sci-fi (ish) horror movie that centers on black people/discusses issues affecting black people, does not make something afrofuturistic.
