Review of Us

Us (II) (2019)
5/10

Us has a great premise to the film but executed poorly, mostly through jump scares and at times feels like a cheaply made horror film featuring some good guys fighting off bad guys. So much more could have been told about the idea, but unfortunately that is only done in the last 10 minutes or so. Even the comedy that is supposedly Peele's calling card is very weak and is very much overshadowed by the horror side of the film. I can also see some of the metaphors that the creators are trying to get at, but at the end of the day those are a little farfetched and at the end felt like out of their grasp. The film is simply too disturbing and unsettling to be likable.
