Review of Us (2019) by 43In2014 — 05 Apr 2019
The short review: A good, not great, horror/thriller that did not fully succeed due to the lack of plausibility (for me). Related media: There's no related media to this film (but I have seen the excellent Get Out).
What's it like?: The film asks what would happen if there is doppelganger out there for each of us that wants to kill us to take over our lives.
Positives:
1) As with Get Out, this film is an edge-fo-the-seat horror/thriller that has an interesting plot. 2)The twist at the end is good stuff.
Negatives: 1) However, the twist at the end does not match up with how Lupita's character had been behaving for some parts of the story. A main question is, why did she have a holiday home, or allow her husband to buy a holiday home in Santa Cruz, considering what she knows, and I am referring to the twist?
2) Several questions on the creation of the clones, such as who, why and how, need to be explained to make the plot plausible.
3) More questions on why the clones are so murderous, how did they know where to find their doppelgangers (the 'real' people), as well as what they are doing at the end of the film needs answering.
How would the different age groups rate it?
Children: (Not rated for kids).
Teens: Excellent.
Young adults: Excellent Medium age adults: Good.
Old adults: Good Rating: 4/5 (no half scores). It is worth it to watch it in the cinema.
