Jordan peele is the best new horror director in a long time

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2019)

After watching the masterpiece that was Get out I new that Jordan Peele had talent as a director. But it was possible that it was just beginners luck. After watching US I can gladly say that Jordan Peele knocks it out of the park again. US is a amazing mix of suspense, comedy, and action. I cant think of another Horror movie that has ever balanced all three of those categories so beautifully. Starting with the comedy, it was really shocking how many times this movie made my whole theatre laugh out loud. I can remember at least four different moments that had the theatre dying. the horror/suspense was used with great care. zero jump scares all about the atmosphere like some of the greatest horror movies ever mastered. The movie reminded me a lot of the Strangers: prey at night, but much better. they both handled the action the same, as making it a top priority along with the horror and at some times it feels you are watching a action based horror film. That might not be everyone type but it sure as hell makes it a more diverse and interesting movie. The ending is pretty basic for a horror movie final plot twist, but done as good as it possibly could have done and still had me gasping.
