Okay my mistake, this has to be one of the best 'horror' movie in years. Simple hints and symbols in certain scene that can be open for hours of interpretation, along with suspenseful(real fear I meant it) thought provoking moments. Yes there's little flaws here and there but you wouldn't even mind when it reaches the final act, there's more to this than meets the eye. Who would have thought a joker with such great mind, just take the 2nd Oscar already damn it. Ah yes the soundtrack was fantastique too
In 2017, Jordan Peele, a former comedian, self-directed his first feature film, “Get Out”, and the suspenseful thriller won numerous awards and won the last Oscar for best original script. This time, Jordan Peele and the production team of "Get Out" continued to launch "Us", a thriller with the theme of a group of strange person who looks exactly like us . The film is still organized in a highly creative story, with the right atmosphere and the right soundtrack. The appearance of the second "four blacks" in the movie made people applaud. The unexpected second "four whites" was even more icing on the cake, even though the film had not much turning point and the plot has a little out of tune after the second "four whites" was destroyed, but it doesn’t affects the visibility of the movie. The audience can laugh with amazement and leave the cinema with full satisfaction!
While Get Out was more of a social thriller, the start of US makes it abundantly clear that Jordan Peele has set out to make a pure horror movie for his second directorial feature. In many ways, US is spectacular. Peeles directing is intense and methodical - many a times I caught myself holding my breath during this movie - and the acting, particularly Lupita Nyong O, is outstanding. However, the ending leaves a little to be desired, and the overall story when revealed, makes little to no sense. However, US is still a remarkable achievement for Jordan Peele and one salivates in anticipation of his next feature.
