Us (2019) IMDB
Jordan Peele knows how to make an interesting horror film, Get Out anyone ?, and this is his follow-up. It’s 1986, and a young girl wanders off from the amusement park on the beach and enters a deserted fun house. When the lights go out she tries to exit, but the mirror maze makes it difficult for her to find her way. Oh, and so does the girl in the mirror. And that’s when you know this thing is about to get sinister.
Modern day. A family of 4 takes a vacation to SoCal with another family. After a beach outing during the day where they see a tragic scene they return home to relax. That night the lights go out only to reveal a group of 4 family doppelgangers outside, but with deformations. What follows is a cat and mouse game where the doppelgangers are trying to kill the original family. Along the way we discover just how big the problem is.
So this really good movie has a maze that kicks off the plot and hurtles us into a twisted world that you will want to escape from ! It has a cast that includes Lupita Nyong'o and Elizabeth Moss and the performances are good.
I give it a solid 7.4/10. It has won over 80 awards from dozens of different groups, so if you don’t trust me, trust them !
