Unique horror story

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2019)

Us gets points for originality--I don't think there is anything else quite like it out there, so I enjoyed that they came up with some new stuff. The first half of the movie builds well, as I was all in, waiting to see where it would go. I loses a little steam in the second half, where it gets to be more like a "survive the apocalypse" film, but when I didn't know what was going on, it was nice. Lupita was very creepy, and there were some supporting players that added to the enjoyment (I'm thinking of Tim Heideker). I wasn't bothered by the plot holes or unexplained mechanics of how this world would be possible. I just went along for the ride. Don't watch if you need all your plot threads neatly tied into a logical finished product.
