What but design of darkness to appall?

Get Out

Crit

Golly, what a fine film--comedy, horror, and well-founded racial paranoia: who could ask for anything more? Jordan Peele, in his directorial debut, has set a high bar for himself. Apart from the chills and the laughs, he has given viewers of Girls something we've been waiting 5 seasons to see.

And like any great horror film, it has one critical element that just doesn't make sense. Double-click this paragraph only after you've seen the film. With his hands bound, how does Chris get the stuffing in his ears? He's much younger and fitter than I, but is it humanly possible to bend your upper body down that far and manipulate your bound hands enough to accomplish that task?
