I loved its exploration of racism. Racism doesn't have to be calling someone the n word, not giving someone a job, or being targeted by police, but also how some character traits are seen to be exclusively black. We saw the main character being auctioned off, so he could benefit one white person. Those taken by the white family lost their identity and control. The plot was so clever and creepy.
At the end of the film, when the police arrive, I thought the main character was going to be shot by the police officer who hassled him earlier (police brutality, anyone?) but thankfully we had a happy ending.

Exactly! I thought the same thing. I was not that impressed by Get Out because it was so similar to Skeleton key. I'm glad somebody else saw that, too.

He got the wool from the chair after scratching it for a while and perhaps bent his ear to fix it
