Jordan Peele does not disappoint in his sophomore outing.

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2019)

Anyone who knows me knows I don't like horror. Never been a fan of it and probably never will. But, somehow Jordan Peele found a way to make me enjoy this bonkers film about a family's serenity turning to chaos when a group of doppelgÃ¤ngers begins to terrorize them.
Lupita Nyong'o is outstanding. Whether it be herself or her evil counterpart, she steals every scene, and I see an Oscar nomination incoming. Winston Duke was also excellent; he was hilarious in comedic moments but also fantastic during the thriller/horror parts. Evan Alex and Shahadi Wright Joseph, who played the children, were also exceptional.
The first half of this film is incredible. The way they handled the horror aspect was unique, and I enjoyed it a lot. The comedic moments aren't overdone, and there is plenty of laugh out loud moments. The score is remarkable, nothing short of perfection. But, the film has its issues.
The second half of the film, specifically the third act is the weakest part. Instead of being unique, it starts to turn into a conventional horror film, and as I said earlier, I'm usually not a fan of horror. The ending is something I didn't see coming, but I didn't like it at all. The end leaves you with so many unanswered questions and adds more complex elements, and that ultimately brings the score down for me.
Although it's not as good as his first movie, Jordan Peele gives us a film that has fantastic performances, great comedy, a ridiculously good score and shows that the sophomore slump can be beaten.
8/10 - Great
