Us Review

Review of Us (2019) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

Really dug the Craven influences bleeding out from Peele's writing and characters but I felt a little more could be done with it. The rules surrounding the doppelgängers seemed to make sense at first but also only really seemed to apply when they were convenient. That being said, Us is a very good horror story that knows what it is and knows how to make us take another look at ourselves.

And now that I think about it, the rules surrounding the doppelgängers have all come from an unreliable source, so if they only apply when they're convenient, was it all part of the plan?
