Another Win For Jordan Peele

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2019)

I think Jordan Peele is a phenomenal talent. He has completely and utterly revamped the horror genre with "Get Out" and "Us". I'd say that "Us" is the weaker of his two big films at this point, but there isn't much in it. I still think it is creepy and eerie enough to keep me on edge for the whole film, and the emotional beats all work pretty well. The people playing the family and The Tethered all do their jobs pretty well, which is impressive seeing as 2 of them are kids. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was nominated for best picture (like Get Out) for the next Oscars. He is a masterful writer and director, and I really look forward to what he comes up with next. I guess to bridge the gaps between this and his next film, I'll have to watch his new reboot of the Twilight Zone.
