Us (movie)

Academy Award-winning director Jordan Peele's done it again with his latest masterpiece, a terrifying horror movie about a Black family going on vacation, only to be tracked down by a mysterious group who looked like themselves, only with one purpose; to kill the family down. This is a terrifying new horror movie the world's talking about and it's titled Us.

Us

Made as a follow-up to Get Out, which terrified most of the horror movie junkies worldwide, Us stars Lupita Nyong'o as Adelaide Wilson, Winston Duke as her husband Gabe, and the kids played by Shahidi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex. It's about a typical family taking on a quiet family vacation until it became a struggle for survival as they are being tailed by a doppleganger family.

This horror movie is unlike every other horror movies the world known because Us features plenty of gripping twists and turns no one saw it coming because no matter how many times you get away from this film just like the family, it will still come back and it won't stop until you are fully scared. Apart from its terrifying nature Us possesses, this horror film showcases the true nature of what Black celebrities can do and in the case of Lupita Nyong'o playing the lead character, this film really is a cinematic tour de force we can truly appreciate thanks to such diversity possess in this horror film.

With its gut-wrenching plot and celebrated diversity, Us really is one of the must-watch films in the Spring season and if you are truly brave enough to see a film where a family trying to escape from enemies looking like themselves, this is the film to watch.

My rating: 3.9 out of 5.
