Trash

Rating: 3/10 (24 March 2019)

So I wasn't going to write a review about this movie but I scrolled down the reviews (About 60% of people had a similar opinion) and I see someone else write "Move over John Carpenter." in reference to Jordan Peele's career because of this movie.
... To even compare "Us" or "Get Out" (better movie, but thats a different story) for that matter to the work of John Carpenter (Assault on Precinct 13, The Thing, etc.) is downright lunacy.
"Us" fails as a horror film, a comedy, psychological thriller, social commentary, or whatever genre this movie was going for. It never scares you, the non-forced laughs are few and far between, and the plot had so many holes built off of uninteresting characters that you never really care about what happens to anyone including the big "twist" at the end. Every interesting concept that made up the stunning trailer for this film was ruined from an unfinished, ludicrous screenplay that I guess we're supposed to excuse because there are some interesting images planted throughout movie.
I'm sure it'll make tons of money because the critics have no balls and it was marketed brilliantly, but this was a terrible movie. I think the originality and artistic ambition gives it an edge over truly horrific work like the DCEU movies, Bright, etc. But don't waste your money on this, just wait for Redbox or get it for free.
