Rose Armitage

Rose Armitage is the secondary antagonist of the 2017 horror film Get Out. She is portrayed by Allison Williams.

Rose was a college student that Chris Washington becomes infatuated with. After dating for five years, Rose decides to take Chris to see her parents, though he is slightly adamant about it, because Rose had neglected to inform her parents that he was an African American. Rose calms his concern by assuring him that her parents weren't race; her father would've even voted for Obama a third time had he had the chance. While on the way to the Armitage house, the couple accidentally hit a deer before pulling up to the house. During his stay at the Armitage residence, Missy (Rose's mother) hypnotizes Chris, culminating in him finding cigarettes disgusting. He tries to explain this to Rose the next day, but she doesn't believe him.

Chris attends a friends and family get together that evening, wherein he bumps into his old friend Andre Hayworth, who had been missing for six days. Chris notices that Andre was wearing old-fashioned clothes, and that he was accompanied by an elderly woman. Things take a turn for the worst when Chris takes Andre's picture. The flash from the phone temporarily makes Andre lucid enough to beg for Chris to escape. Chris announces his plans to leave to his girlfriend, and she offers to runaway with him. While she was away, Chris uncovers some pictures from the closet which shows that Rose had several African American lovers that she had lured to the house, including one woman. In a twist, the Armitage family is apart of an underground cult known as the Order of the Coagula whose main objective is achieving pseudo-immortality through brain transfer. African American men and women are lured to the house, and they are subdued through hypnosis. The original inhabitant's mind is overwritten to make adjustments for their new master, but a sliver of their consciousness is still present. They are made to watch as their original bodies are used in ways without their consent. Chris gets confronted by Dean, Missy, and Jeremy as he tries to make a break for the door. It is there that Rose reveals her true nature. Far from the supportive and loving woman that Chris initially believed, she is instead a remorseless sociopath who takes pleasure in forming false relationships with her victims before sending them to be brainwashed.
