Us (2019) – Review

This movie does well a lot of the same things that Get Out did well. The characters are fleshed out and interesting, the dialogue is compelling, and the humor hits hard and at terrific moments of tension. Unfortunately, the plot of Us is really weak. It grows weaker as the movie goes and you start seeing ways that it just doesn’t make any logical sense. I had a lot of “Then, how would this work?” moments in the latter third as the plot revealed itself.

There were also some just plain silly choices with the “scary” aspects such as the way the main antagonist speaks (in inhales) and physical mimicry by non-speaking characters.

Maybe I was expecting too much from Jordan Peele or from this movie. Since “Get Out” was a knock out 

I don’t know… Keep expectations low. 

Its a decent horror flick, and quite funny in the most random of parts. 

I might need a couple more viewings to see where it stands. 

7/10
