Like a bad dream...in a good way.

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2019)

Jordan Peele's sophomore outing really stunned me, especially as I wasn't the biggest fan of Get Out, and thought the symbolism was really heavy-handed. However by adding just a dash of ambiguity "Us" really shines as a surreal, but still very scary experience. I've seen a lot of people picking the plot apart on here, and this just isn't that kind of movie, nothing here is all that logical, but that's not the point. The film has a great nightmarish atmosphere that fits perfectly with the strangeness of the story. Grading a horror film really comes down to one thing: Did it scare me? It did. There's a scene early on the film that made me gasp out "Oh my god" and cup a hand over my mouth. The actors all do a great job and Jordan Peele is really a talent to watch out for, 9/10.
