Review: Us

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2019)

Jordan Peele takes his viewers down a path of suspense and mystery wrapped in an ominous blanket of impending doom for the main characters. Each scene is filled with visual and auditory clues that suggest something sinister is upcoming, even as small pieces of the story are revealed throughout the movie, there are more questions than answers as the plot thickens. "Us" is a solid and entertaining horror film that capitalizes on smooth pacing, strong acting performances, and great cinematography, The execution of the story itself stumbles toward the end, as the film relies on a great deal of wordy exposition to explain to the audience what is going on and a twist that raises more questions rather than providing a satisfying answer.
