Absolute piece of cinematic trash

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2019)

I wasn't expecting much from "Us" when I accepted my friend's invitation to watch it, mainly because I've seen the trailer and deep down knew it was going to be just another uninspiring, run-of-the-mill, post 2005 'horror' at best.
And then I sat on the cinema chair and the horror began... no, not the kind of horror you'd expect but the other kind. The kind where after 30 minutes you start panicking inside as to how to keep your eyes open for the next hour or more (in this case an hour and a half!), trying not to feel cheated out of your ticket money. Hell, they probably charge less for a night in a half decent motel where at least you get a bed and probably some actual horror too.
Mind you, I'm the kind of person that loves movies and can watch just about anything, as long as it doesn't insult my intelligence or my imagination. Draw your own conclusions from that.
Anyway, let me put it this way - the trailer itself is stupid and even it is better than this movie. In fact, if you could pick 3 good scenes from the entire movie (and that's quite a big IF), they would all fit in that trailer. Even the plot twist itself (yes, the part where everything is turned upside down and everything you thought was true was not) wasn't enough to redeem this horrid piece of audio-visual vomit.
I'm not gonna go into details because there isn't much to be going into, I'll just say that judging by standards good movies must meet in order to capture and entertain their audiences, this one failed at pretty much every single one: character development, screenplay, storytelling, immersion, plot and closure. Not to mention how irritating it is to watch another liberal-feminist piece of propaganda garbage where the husband is a shallow idiot behaving like a child (impressed and obsessed by motorized vehicles and sports) while the wife and daughter are all grown up and mature, keeping him on a leash. Need I say more?
On all fronts this movie failed to deliver anything remotely compelling or truly entertaining (cheap laughs don't count) and is not worth your time. Not even if it were free to watch. 1/10 is not a score low enough for "Us", it deserves much MUCH less than that.
