A Good Follow up to 'Get Out'

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2019)

First off, this film is not that scary but the tension is high for most of the two hours. The words that I would use to describe this film are 'interesting' and 'creepy'. Lupita Nyong'o is especially brilliant as the protagonist of this horror, backed by a talented Winston Duke and a well rounded ensemble.
From my interpretation, this film explores ideas of duality and rivalry. What I mean by this is how we define an enemy, is it a part of ourselves? Or is it when you see the negatives of yourself in another? Jordan Peele (the director) does a great job of making us question these ideas.
I do enjoy how bits of comedy are interwoven nicely throughout this film, rather than feeling forced, the comedy feels natural, mostly at the hands of Duke.
Nevertheless, I was not a huge fan of the 1 hour 15 mins - 1 hour 35 mark. Whilst it was not particularly bad, I felt that parts of it were out of place and the tone of the film at this point was off.
On top of this, some of the logistics of the film don't add up, this is never a major deal in the movie but it does bug me, a bit, personally.
To conclude, 'Us' is a good horror/ thriller, whilst not terrifying, it is intense and explores new ideas that are ambitious and for the most part, pay off.
