I think I loved the idea of the story; bizarre, surreal tales are usually my favourite, but the execution in Us fell a bit flat. I like that there are a bunch of doppelgängers hanging around in tunnels/caves underground, I like that they eventually came to the surface, I don’t really care much for the mirrored personality traits (it felt like it tried to go with too many plot points whereas it should have been just a simple revenge tale), I feel like director Peele really nailed his message in Get Out, but with Us, I feel like he missed the mark completely. A very original movie but hard to live up to Get Out and I still feel a bit unclear what he wanted to say in Us.

    12 angry men, the thing from another world, invasion of the body snatchers, the seventh seal, the night of the hunter, metropolis. All these films look great and have fantastic cinematography.

    I’m speculating but I bet they didn’t expect so many people to care about it. With the current state of cs2 and it being so tied to them milking the skin market for money, I’ll bet someone high up said pull the plug just in case.
