Us (DVD) [2019]

First of all, I'm going to start by saying that I am an absolute horror obsessed nerd. I have over 500 horror films on dvd, and have seen well over a thousand horror films over the years. I am absolutely horror obsessed, including books, online stories, podcasts, games.Over the past few years, I've found myself being very disappointed in films I have been excited about. Modern horror has a tendency to swap atmosphere and character development for jump scares and special effects.I decided to give US a go. I rented it on Amazon Prime, and bought it on Dvd immediately after watching it. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Us has climbed its way up as one of my favourite films.It's a long film, but the acting is fantastic, the lead female is phenomenonal. One thing that I loved was the character development. If you don't care about the characters, if you don't like or dislike them, then it takes away the tension from the film, as you don't care if they die. Character development is important. Us definitely has a lot of focus on the characters, so you want them to survive because you grow to care about them, which in turn makes the film all the more exciting. Very few recent films bother with character development, but Us does a superb job.There is a lot of atmosphere, tension, and few jump scares. This isn't a film that depends on things making you jump, this film instead, has a fantastic storyline. It's unique, and very well done. Having a good storyline and good characters adds to the overall atmosphere of the film.Us is a film that left me thinking about it long after I finished watching it. I couldn't watch anything else afterwards because it wouldn't really have compared. Very few films have my attention held so completely. I am very thrilled to add this one to my collection. I have recommended it to my fellow horror loving friends.

Loved this film as I missed it when it was in the cinema.Kept me on the edge of my seat.

Happy with item

Scary film for first half then it just turns repetitive

watched this film several times now, the story has so many layers to it! currently writing a section of my dissertation on Us and it’s really interesting to see how different this film is from other horror films! i love this film so much

Loved this film. It's builds slowly but has a WTF moment in the beginning section that will keep you glued.Like GET OUT, the reveal of what's happening doesn't quite hold together - but it's such an entertaining ride that it doesn't matter too much. The performances are fabulous and you'll care about what happens to them - a great basis for any horror film!

Jordan Peele messing with your mind.

Strange one.. excellent quality picture in 4K, with a good soundtrack. Took a little while to warm up as it tries to give the characters time to show us who they are..then it turns to some action. I rarely do storylines to avoid giving spoilers so I’ll just add..it’s worth seeing. A good sound system will bring the best out of this film.
