30 min silly plot stretched to 2 hours with long exposition, pretentiously long shots, stupid action, logical gaps and potentially good ideas.

I loved the movie "Get Out," so I had high expectations for this film. I was let down. The plot was not my favourite. I don't know what happened to Jordan's thought process on this film, but he choked. I didn't take the critics reviews in mind because I never do just so I can have an opinion myself. (Sigh) I genuinely wasted my money on buying this film. The actors did a beautiful job and followed Jordan's direction flawlessly, but I wanted to enjoy this film and had a hard time wanting to like it. I'm sorry, this film was a bust.

What a great film "Get Out" was. Jordan Peele's classic which unpeeled (sic) race relations in a wholly novel and horrifying way. Yes, the story was a bit 'out there' and unbelievable, but he pulled it off with great chutzpah.

With his follow-up film - "Us".... sorry but, for me, it just didn't work.

It all starts so promisingly. Young Adelaide Wilson (a fine debut performance by Madison Curry) is on a seaside holiday with her mother and careless father when she wanders onto the deserted Santa Cruz beach at night. There sits, like some gothic horror ghost train, the Hall of Mirrors. "Find Yourself" it taunts. She makes the mistake of entering and changes her life forever.

Spin forwards 30 years and Adelaide, now a married mother of two, is back in Santa Cruz with a terrifying feeling that things are about to go pear-shaped. And of course they do!

Why oh why oh why those voices? This film had me gripped until a particular point. Having people stand still and silent at the end of your drive is an incredibly spooky thing to show. But then, for me, the wheels came off big time. The "reveal" of who these people were I could take. But the manner of their behaviour and - particularly - how they talked was horrifying; and not in a good way. When "Red" started speaking I couldn't believe my ears: Joe Pasquale after swallowing Donald Duck.

From there, the film became farcical for me, descending in progressive stages to a tunnel-based apocalypse: a plot element that was just so paper thin it bore no scrutiny at all.

This was, no doubt, an attempt at a satirical dig at the class structure of America ("We are Americans" adding a double meaning to the name of the film). If it had been played as a deliberate comedy farce it might have worked. But otherwise no.

This is not to say that there are not positives in the film. The excellent Lupita Nyong'o gives the whacky material her all, and the other adult female lead - Elisabeth Moss (from TV's "The Handmaid's Tale") - is good value as Kitty Tyler: a diabolical incarnation in either form!

Peele also delivers flashes of directorial brilliance. The "hands across America", disappearing into the sea, is a sight that stays with you. I also liked the twist at the end, although in retrospect it's difficult to relate it to the rest of the story and strikes of desperation in the storytelling.

I know there are some who really like this movie. Each to their own, but I was not one of them. After "Get Out" I was hoping for something much better. I hope that was just Jordan Peele's "difficult second album".

Yes, let us get out of this crap. This director seems to want to copy Night Shyamalan's work, but that's a total failure. Yes, I can't pevent myself to think about the director of GLASS and SPLIT, another way to film horror thu psychanalist way of presenting the topic. But I also admit that I am not a specialist of this kind of stuff. GET OUT was far better than US.

Apparently I watched the wrong Us movie. The us movie I saw was to long, had a horrible plot, was more of a comedy than a horror,and overall was not a good movie. So apparently I missed the film marvel us movie that so many film critics got to see. Maybe I can see that one next....

I really liked Get Out n had high hopes for this movie especially reading/seeing the positive reviews......but it and they fell flat. Sure the acting was good and it had a few laughs along with some scares but overall it STUNK. It had moments of hope but more moments of ridiculousness. In the end, after all the twists it made me just plain angry. Waste of time n money.....save yours

Jordan Peele's Get Out was wildly successful for a debut film and it deserved all the acclaim it managed to receive. Us on the other hand was wildly on the opposite side of the spectrum. How this film received an upper ninety percentile is as an imbroglio to say the least. The characters, the plot, the storytelling were in no way engaging or interesting. Winston Duke was AWFUL and induced irascible feelings for such a promising actor. Skip this and don't believe the hype. Anybody who loves film don't let the deep undertones and double meanings fool you, this movie is garbage to say the least. now i'm worried about Akira...

I have been a fan of imdb now for 15 years. I regularly say to my wife or kids "hey this movie has an imdb of 7.7....must be good! This is my first review because I was so mad about this it compelled me to register and leave this review.

Well this movie has proven to me that Imdb is now like amazon. Full of fake reviews especially early in a movies life. Before going I looked at imdb....7.7 with 10k plus reviews. Heck it must be a good movie. So we went. OMG folks this movie was terrible. Stupid plot, ridiculous to the point that the person I went with and myself both started looking at each other with "can you believe this crap?" look on our faces. We were laughing out loud at the stupidity when the "demon voices" part started.

We were so pissed we wanted to go get a refund. I was going to go and complain but instead my buddy said screw it lets just go next door and watch Capt Marvel. Which had an imdb of 7.2 and was WAYYYYYY better.

If Imdb wants to be taken seriously, they need to drill down on these fake reviews. Obviously this movie has a ton load of fake reviews going on, because it is inexplicable how anyone can give this movie a 8/9 or beyond fake 10. I give it a 6.5 maybe 7 for the first 30-40 min and then a 2-3 for the rest of the movie. Right about when the "monsters" show up it just gets ridiculously bad.

If at one or four points you don't know what's going on in a movie - you probably need to pay better attention. If at no point in the movie do you know what's going on - it's probably got something to do with the director. Cringefest 2018 if you're expecting anything other than b-movie crap.

I loved Get Out. Us is a major disappointment from the same writer-director Jordan Peele. A family on vacation near a lake house meet some sort of body doubles who seem to be taken from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The film meanders along and the plot holes are enormous. Lupita Nyongo is excellent in the lead but the material is well below her talent. the husband and children are also very good but the two hours just drag on and on. The script lacks the great comedic moments of Peele's Get Out which had much more depth than this overlong film. I hope that Mr. Peele picks up the story of Get Out and makes a sequel. This is a big letdown.

It was a funny movie rather than horror. One of the worst movies I've ever seen but the acting was pretty good.

The first 20 minutes are solid. Great atmosphere with good potential to grow into something interesting and scary. Unfortunately, after that, everything became stupid, irritating and time from time very tiring, but not scary at all. For me, this is a kind of director who has no vision or style to make an excellent horror that will keep us tense from beginning to end. The same problem he has with his earlier movie Get Out. Good start and very bad and negative end. I guess this is the trend today. For a conclusion. Definitely not recommend.

The acting in this movie was great and there are a few very funny moments...but nothing particularly scary or unsettling. Of course this highlights the primary issue with this movie, which is that it can't decide what it wants to be or what it wants to be about. You'd guess from the trailers (which present a genuinely terrifying idea) that it would be some sort of psychological thriller, but the movie plays out much closer to a slasher film.

The villain(s) are revealed halfway through the movie in full light, immediately demystifying them and making them not scary, and they also that that time to explain their motive in plain English, the remaining half of the movie is boring after that.

This movie wasn't good, the acting wasn't good, the script was childish to say the least, there were several logical issues and the plot twist wasn't a twist at all (and if somehow you hadn't seen it coming from miles away, it adds nothing to the shock value). For the sake of comparison, I'd rate Get Out a 9/10.

Final Score: 4/10. A waste of time, good soundtrack though.

And if you don't believe me, check the usernames for some of the 10s reviews over here - obvious bot accounts, not only inflating the IMDb score, but also downvoting negative reviews.

I feel the movie deliberately had a major plot twist at the end for shock value. The ending just doesn't make sense. I'm not gonna go into the details but there are just so many issues with the premise.

It's just not done well. Too much comedy in a horror film ruins it for me. Plus the plot really gets strange once it's laid out for you at the end. And in Peel fashion it makes sure white people are killed or made to look stupid. Had potential but he failed at it.

I remember seeing this movie with my friends at a local cinema. In the beginning of the movie - the scene with the rabbits and intense music - we thought it would be the most horrific horror movie ever. Later, as the story and acting unfolded, we were laughing along with the whole theater. It was a really funny, great experience, but not really a horror.

We had been told, and some of my friends who watched 'Get Out' (I haven't seen that movie), that this would be a masterpiece, but for me, it was disappointing in terms of what a horror movie should be. As a comedy-action, I give it 7/10, but as a horror movie, it was terrible.

If you bought tickets to see this..... be prepared to start the movie staring at rabbits for 2 straight minutes. During the entire movie I felt like I had no idea what was going on. I left the movie having more questions than answers. They didn't explain anything about the plot or characters. Honestly, it could've been a great movie but had long drawn out scenes and no explanations all for an ending plot twist that was less than stellar. Save your money.

The family dynamic was the most appealing aspect of this film. Initially, the writers seemed to be on the ball. Once the creepy people were introduced, the plot became disjointed and grew more ridiculous with time. Worst and most ridiculous ending of a movie I have ever seen.
