Began well

Rating: 5/10 (12 April 2019)

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a horror movie to be totally believable. There's always got to be some suspension of disbelief, which I'm up for. Without some internal rationale, though, a film like 'Us' fails even on its own terms, because there is no reason for the things that happen or the characters who appear.
I've loved the horror genre since I was smuggled into a drive-in in the 1970s as an 11 year-old to see Peter Cushing in 'The legend of the seven golden vampires'. It gave me nightmares for weeks. Many years later, I found it and watched it again and had a good chortle. That's the thing about horror movies, when they're not really good - you end up sniggering, or leaving. Yesterday, I saw 'Us' and ended up doing both.
