'Us' movie review — Jordan Peele avoids the sophomore slump
Us, Jordan Peele's follow up to his Oscar-winning debut Get Out, follows a family being hunted down by their terrifying doppelgängers.
30-second review: Lupita. N'yongo. While Us is successful in many ways — especially in its horror set pieces surrounding a horrifying home invasion — the central performance by the Oscar winner is the main reason the movie is a worthy follow-up to Get Out. He ups both the horror and the comedy, for better and worse. Though the plot and themes are muddier, Peele focuses on delivering an effective horror film — and that he did.
