How people don't know this is an allegory is beyond me. It practically states it with the dictionary definition at the beginning. "Witchhunt" meaning hunting witches is barely shown. The screen lingers on the second definition about persecution. While I didn't really tie it to LGBT, the witch burned at the start is wearing blue, so it's clearly a political statement. Yes, it could be better, but most movies could. Be glad you still have the right to see movies like this. McCarthyism could return after the next election.
As another reviewer said, most horror movies have a statement. Anyone watching a Peele movie shows that. The message is often more important then the medium.
