“Us” has good acting! Lupita Nyong’o has won several awards for her acting in the past but this is the first time we’ve seen her in a horror film and she nailed it! The unique thing about this film is that the actors are playing two roles, themselves and their doppelgänger selves. Both characters are polar opposites and took serious acting skills to pull them off.

It’s funny! It’s not very often you find a horror film that makes you laugh and then within seconds you’re jumping because something just scared the mess outta you. There are a few funny one-liners in the movie, especially from Winston Duke’s character. He portrays the average middle-class father and drops a few funny dad jokes here and there. His son in the film also has a few funny one-liners proving that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is another reason why we think Jordan Peele is either crazy or seriously has a twisted mind and likes to mess with us. Either way, we are here for it.

“Us” has a good plot. Let’s be real, most horror films have a weak storyline and plot leaving them only thrilling because of the kill. Jordan Peele’s movies do not fall in this criteria. Peele really takes time to have a well thought out storyline in his horror films that not only scare you but have you thinking deeper and trying to figure out exactly what the hell just happened. In “Us” there is a plot twist that isn’t revealed until the very end of the movie. In Peele’s movie “Get Out’ you are also hit us with a plot twist, maybe this is his thing. Whatever it is we want him to keep it up because we like it.
The good news is Jordan Peele is already working on more great horror films. It’s already been announced that he is working on an adaptation of “Candyman” and series based upon “The Twilight Zone”. In the meantime go see “Us” it’s well worth your time, the cost of the ticket and of course the crazy high price of popcorn and a drink.
