Onyl good if you are a horror/thriller casual

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2019)

Personally, I was very dissapointed with Us. One word to describe it is underwhelming, specially after all the hype. Technically, the movie is very solid with good cinematography, nice pacing and excellent music. Lupita's performance is good but overall its not enough to carry the movie.
The problem is, after Get Out, which had a great storyline with an awesome twist, Us fails to do the same. The plot is seemingly meaningless and quite predictable without any "wow" surprises. The "creepiness" looked more cringy that scary, except the girl, and was laughable at times. Violence is a big part of this movie but its all done so poorly by horror standards. Finally, in the fear department its flat out pathetic.
Overall, Us is an OK movie made for horrror/thriller casuals who are new to the genre. I dont hate it but after Get Out its just extremely disappointing specially for a horror movie veteran. I was expecting fear and violence aspects to be weak but I was counting on the plot and twist to blow me away; sadly, that wasnt the case.
