Sadly disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2019)

Although I do respect and honor the love and genuine craft Jordan Peele has for horror, I sadly and wholeheartedly have to say that I was less than impressed with the outcome of "Us".
Despite having one of the most beautifully filmed openings I have seen in a while, the film drifted into something that was just not for me.
Once the people in red come into play, the film switches gears. Reasons as to why certain and important things were happening were left open, with little to no explanation.
In many cases, there was comedy added to point where it felt forced or unnecessary, causing the mood of the scene to be almost ruined.
One thing that got me were the kills. Many (almost all of them) were done off screen, only showing the aftermath.
Yes it's horror but to me, hardly. I feel that it was more of a suspense/thriller?
I do have complaints, but what made me stay afloat were the absolutely wonderful performances, the opening, the score, and the originality
