The Tethered

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2019)

Some of the best experiences in film watching come from terror, from sitting on the edge of your seat, expecting a jump scare, and longing to know who will survive and what will be left of them. Jordan Peele, a brilliant writer and director, returns with a second cinematic nightmare freshly brewed from his imagination, both original and entertaining. This is a guy who truly knows how horror works and how to make the best of it with a wee touch of comedy. He showed it with Get Out and he shows it just as well in Us. Unlike Get Out, however, Us left many plot points unexplained and had a rather unresolved ending. Nevertheless, it deserves at least an 8/10.
