What is it?

The 2019 American psychological horror-thriller movie Us.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home.

When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway.

Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

My Thoughts

This movie was better than I had expected, and it surprised me with some of its twists; and this movie has various possible interpretations, and it had a unique approach that made me think of some new possibilities.

I possibly liked this movie better than the movie Get Out to my surprise, but I could be wrong.

Jordan Peele has surprised me again.

The end,
