If you think the trailer spoiled you the movie, then you are dead wrong. Jordan Peele has created a new masterpiece of horror, dark comedy and the bizarre. A non stop and absolutely creepy nightmare on its own that continues to unravel and twist till the very end. Praise for all the cast and their tethered versions (specially Lupita, Elisabeth and the kids) Excellent musical choices, great comedy moments among all the insanity and a chilling score by Michael Abels!

Brilliant Movie. It has been some time since I came out of the movies and just sat down to think for a couple of hours. The last time was probably when I watched Get Out. Jordan Peele again proved, that he is a brilliant director for Horror Movies. But this kind of Horror is not that type, that is wildly popular - Not just the mix of jumpscares and Blood: There is a brilliant story behind this movie.

The acting was brilliant. I did not expect any less from Lupita Nyong’o, and the other main actors, who I did not know so far, played both of their roles perfectly.
The Story was great, sometimes I did not know where in the movie we are right now, and I thought the movie might end now: But it was just in the middle and I kept being excited the whole time.
The Cinematography was perfect. There are many scenes, that are just perfect stills from the movie. Amazing composition. Specially these scenes kept staying in my mind:

- The Family going to the beach, while we mainly see their shadows next to them
- Lupita Nyong’o going down the escalator.
- The Lupita Nyong’o's face in the foregrownd while her other character is in the background right before the "Fight-Scene".
- Jason Wilson as Pluto going backwards toward the fire
- The bunnies in their caves at the beginning
- The "HandsAcrossAmerica" Action by the tethered at the end of the movie
- And so many more.

As expecting from Jordan Peele, there is a deep meaning in the movie. I interpret it as a representation of our society. There is Us, and there are people just like us, but in a different social status with different social conditions.
Those people do not have the social status to have the same education, same development, and same chances of the "upper class".
They don't even know that there is something possible up there, that they don't know about.

It needs one person to start a revolution. One Person who had it all, who knows what is possible, if they would leave their status and try to become more. Without that person they will be stuck "down there" forever - Because they don't know there is more to live for.

The "lower class" are the shadows of the upper class. They can not do as much as them and they do not have the possibilities of them. The analogy of the "reflection" like in a mirror just shows, that only one side can control the other - Not directly the other way around. You can control your reflection in the mirror, but the reflection can't controll you. Justl like when Jason controlled Pluto to go in the fire.

Basically, the action that the tethered did was a revolution. Against the "suppression" of the (what we would call) "normal people".

So it is very difficult to say if that movie is a happy ending or not. It depends on who is good and who is bad - specially since our main character is on the "good / normal" side although she is the reason the whole thing happened in the first place.


All in all, this movie was brilliant. I know there are probably hundreds of details that I have missed, but I love the fact, that there are still directors, that make good movies - specially since basically 95% of all movies that came out in the last 12 months were not good. Maybe enjoyable, but not good.

This is not just a movie to have some entertainment for two hours, this is an intellectual and amazingly made representation of our world. Of _Us_.

I applause Jordan Peele and thank him for this brilliant masterpiece.

It started out like a cookie cutter thriller except with clueless Black parents and an emasculated husband. Then it went down the rabbit hole. Then it entered the matrix, then it went through the twilight zone, and finally it went inception.

The ending was a awwwww man!!!!

I enjoyed it it.

This was haunting, creepy, disturbing and also suprisingly fun with the well placed humor here and there. Intens story and storytelling. And yes, the clue was seen a mile ahead but I don't really care because the superb acting, chilling story and deep meaning behind the movie make up for it.

I highly recommend this movie and also that once you finish it you do a bit of research so you know what was meant with this movie. That hidden message behind it .

Love the creative choices, the subtle link to Alice in Wonderland via the rabbits and the almost literal rabbit hole.
And my God, where do they always manage to find those creepy and cute kids!!!

this movie was scary and good make sure y'all check it out

Here's the deal. I saw this Thursday, super stoked and came out entertained but frustrated and confused. I rated it a 7. I just saw it for a second time and let me tell you IVE DONE A 180!!!! Alll hype is real for this, its a masterpierce, Peele is a new all time horror director and vision. that sounds insane. i know. but see this more than once it really sings.

A rather terrifying, twisted and very entertaining horror film from the wrapped mindset of Academy Award winner Jordan Peele. I loved his last movie "Get Out" yet, I was more amused when I saw this work of art by this spectacular man.

Also, we need more people like Jordan Peele in this world.

10/10 for me.

I was so excited to watch this film to be honest. And I was so happy that I did. It's not the kind of horror film that I loved like Get Out but Jordan Peele was able to bring us another horror film that will actually make our jaw drop at the end. What I just love about Jordan Peele is that he really knows how to bring out something new in the genre of horror and thriller. Aside from casting beautiful and great actors, the cinematography and editing of this is really good. It's well written and very well directed. I am so highly recommending this. This is not the type of horror that will keep you up at night but will definitely keep you hook up all throughout while watching it.

This is easily the most “traditional horror” of the Jordan Peele trilogy, and this scratches every itch I want out of a horror movie. It’s creepy. It’s bloody. The premise is unique. The plot isn’t predictable. I refuse to go too much more into it, because if you haven’t seen this movie, it’s not my place to spoil. It’s awesome and you should watch this, especially if you like horror.

Rating: 5/5 (⭐) - 10/10 - Must See
