"Us," the new movie from Oscar-winning writer/director Jordan Peele, doesn’t aspire to grand social commentary, but it’s so well-made that it stumbles on greatness often enough to make it worth seeing. The movie is exactly what horror fans should want more of from the genre’s recent resurgence: It has a fantastic cast, it looks beautiful, and it’s full of scenes that should make anyone afraid to visit a lake house.
The movie’s trailer makes it clear that"Us" deals with doubles, shadows, and how we cope with our own inner darknesses, but that makes things sound weightier than they actually are.Netflix's 'Bird Box' wastes both Sandra Bullock and a perfectly good metaphor about facing our fears This would be enough for most horror movies — the middle of the movie is essentially"The Strangers" with doppelgängers — but Peele uses supernatural elements to touch on questions of inequality and privilege. That is also, unfortunately, where the movie starts to lose its way slightly. It doesn’t undermine the film, but after seeing how well Peele handled the themes of"Get Out," his explanation of the horror twist comes off as superficial.
