A Spider with 9 Legs

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2019)

I loved "Get Out" but found no epiphany in this movie.
The movie appeared as a spider with so many legs. Not twists that keep you on the edge of your seat but confusion on where this movie is going or where did it begin. Was it a "black comedy". No pun intended
I initially thought, ok doppelgänger is a good premise - we all have them. But then I referred to the opening statement about the use and existent of underground dwellings and caves.
I tried to in my mind connect that maybe all our twins live in caves and will appear -when? How? No connection. Do they live in the dark recesses of our minds?
I think Lupita is s good actress but I found her acting just funny as the evil twin in this movie.
I did like the fact that unlike Tyler Perry these Black characters were not mired in "the white" family syndrome. But were more just a "corporate money " made family. We all know these families in real life.
So the twist is Lupita is the evil twin. But there was so much trying to figure how this movie connected and where from and where was it going was lost in confusion. So the revealing twist was drowned in the confusing plot.
I applaud Jordan Peele for his use of real Black people. Not the ones that both races feel are movie star appealing for the screen.
And I do think Winston Duke was very good and In just a normal way not an exaggerated minstrel Black way or a lost in space white way. .
I don't see him as the new Alfred Hitchcock though. I think Get Out was a masterpiece.
Just as M Night had his with "the Sixth Sense"
Everything after is just mediocre.
