Another case of "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Jordan Peele

Rating: 1/10 (21 March 2019)

I guess Jordan Peele's "horror" is not for me. First, it's not horror, because it's not scary - well it's only scary if you find movies like "Scream" or "Scary Movie" scary. All the horror clichÃ©s are there. Some very cringe worthy comical moments with jokes that weren't funny. Plus, there is no character development. No character development at all. Only a solid first act, then followed by very disappointing second and third acts, with killings and more killings and a predictable "plot twist" I could guess right during the first 15 minutes of the movie. The concept of the movie is nice, cinematography is also nice combined with the soundtrack but these technical aspects don't save a plot that is very simplistic, with a terrible self-explanatory and predictable conclusion. Lupita's amazing acting is the only good thing in it.Now that I have watched the second movie by Jordan Peele I can say that his movies are basically acclaimed by the critics and they are as disappointing as they are overhyped. Don't believe the hype.
