An arthouse horror movie.

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2019)

Peele validates with this film his being one of the most interesting debut directors on the current scene.
If already in Get Out Peele had managed to blend horror, suspense with contemporary and complex social and political themes, with "Us" he manages to do it even better.
The social and political critique of the moral, ethical and political degeneration of the United States (and of the world in general) is here much clearer and more explicit.
To an excellent execution, he also adds some kind of experimentalism that refers to old-school horror cinematography: like some effective and amusing comic parenthesis that horror movies had long forgotten.
If it is true that horror cinema must be a tool of social criticism capable of frightening precisely by showing the degenerations of society or by creating frightening and destabilizing degenerations, "Us" is a horror in every aspect.
