The film was made to show the audience what racially motivated anxiety of being a black person feels like . It shows what goes through the mind a black person in an interracial relationship meeting their significant other for the first time.

Why did everyone stop talking when Chris went upstairs?

When the flash goes off in Logan's face his demeanor changes. Physical symptoms manifest which include a nose bleed, fear in his eyes and lunging at Chris saying "Get out". Initially, this perception of this is interpreted as aggression, but later he learns that Logan was actually warning him.
