Review of Us (2019) by Tasha Robinson for The Verge — 09 Mar 2019
Peele directs Us with a masterful collection of horror-movie tricks — jump scares that actually pay off, a cat-and-mouse game in an isolated place filled with bright lights and deep pools of impenetrable shadow, a throat-closing Michael Abels score full of intense drumming and choral chanting that elevates the action to operatic levels of drama.
But his greatest asset is the performances, which turn an already creepy premise into something endlessly inhuman and unnerving.
