Us (2019) Review

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2019)

So, I saw Jordan Peele's new horror movie Us, and it was pretty good. Jordan Peele's directorial debut in 2017 with Get Out is one of my favorite horror films. If I would compare this movie with Get Out, I'd probably choose Get Out, but you can't really compare these two films as the same. While Get Out was more of a racial commentary mixed with horror, Us is more of a full on horror film. Lupita Nyong'o is fantastic in the lead role as Adelaide, and she does a decent job with Red (Adelaide's tethered counterpart) also. Winston Duke is a scene stealer in the film and is overall hilarious. I didn't mind the child actors, as even they were pretty good also. Even the Tylers who are played by Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker are good. The score is good, and I liked the cinematography. While I didn't enjoy it as much as Get Out, Us is still a decent horror movie in an era where most horror movies can go below expectations. I'm giving Jordan Peele's Us a 7/10
