Us.. and Them..

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2019)

Well if there's ever been a film that splits opinion, this seems to be it!
I don't get the hate!? It's a good, solid film. The doppelgangers are as creepy as hell, and for the most part the characters are very well acted and likeable. The only real exception to this is Winston Dukes character. He's the comedy relief but it doesn't work, he's more slapstick than a slapped stick in a stick slapping factory. He was the only thing that didn't do it for me... Sorry Winston!
Yes the meanings ambiguous and the arty aspects are a bit pointless. Jordan Peel is trying to give us a hidden meaning to think and talk about, and we did. There's a bit at the end that is just "odd" and I said to my wife, "what is the point of that?", "I don't know" she replied.. That was the extent of it.. Purist arty types will look and delve deep into it's hidden messages, I didn't I just enjoyed it for a good, fun and visually impressive movie. There's plenty of gore for you slasher types too.. Well worth a watch!
