The Best Part Of A Story Is Always The Ending

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2019)

To truly appreciate this film: If you watch until the ending, everything makes sense and all ties together. I suggest watching it more than once because there are many, many nuances that are quite subtle that you'll remember after watching the first time and say to yourself, "oh, so that's what that meant, and there were double meanings too!" The trailer does say watch it once for the scares and thrills and twice to understand it. This is definitely a film that I was able to wrap my head around the first time because I paid close attention, remembering those instructions. However, I wanted to immediately watch it again. After watching the first time you'll wish to watch again, especially if you take any breaks at all. I won't give away any spoilers but let me tell you, I normally don't go for the typical slasher / end of the world / here come the monsters horror flicks but this was definitely worth it. It blended psychological thriller with jump scares and the idea, the simple concept of "what if." You'll understand why Red talks and why her voice sounds as it does. So, settle in and prepare for the mind trip you've never experienced before: to watch Us, the typical American family in the US. I hope there is a sequel.
