Horror/Thriller

Us

2019·6.8·Dir. Jordan Peele

A family's beachside vacation turns horrifying when they are confronted by a group of sinister strangers — their exact doppelgangers.

Our Verdict

Get Out is the superior film — tighter, more focused, and with a social commentary that hits with laser precision. Us is more ambitious in scope but less satisfying in execution; its twist is divisive where Get Out's is celebrated. Both are essential modern horror, but Get Out is Peele's masterpiece.
