    original reporting by variety, but variety's website does the ad then redirect thing that forbes (used to?) do and i don't want to subject people to that somewhat gross method of serving ads, so i've replaced it with a slate article as the URL for this post.

    I'm not one for horror, but Get Out was more suspense than anything else, so I could handle it. Is that the case for Us, or should I steer clear of this one?

      Yeap, that is exactly it. Suspense really, not that much horror. The suspense itself is only for the first 30 mins, after that it feels like a different movie (I cant say anything without spoiling it). I personally thought this movie was not as good as Get Out, but still very enjoyable.

      Edit: I changed not as good as Us to not as good as Get Out. My bad.

        Let me rephrase: I've seen Get Out, I have not seen Us. I'm curious if Us is more horror/scary than Get Out.

    I preferred Get Out to Us. Neither of them are true horror movies, in the way that the trailers would have you think, but Get Out is definitely the more together film, with something to say. If there is a message in Us, I definitely missed it. I enjoyed the film overall, some great funny moments, it's very well shot, and I really enjoyed the music.

    Great news for original films! Get Out showcased Peele as a promising writer/director and I hope this film is as solid as that film.

      Any reason you didn't enjoy Get Out? It was definitely hyped but I feel like it deserved (most of) the hype it received.
