Jordan Peele's new horror film 'Us' scares up South by Southwest

By Eng Peng / 12 Mar 2019 (Tuesday)

'Get Out' director Jordan Peele debuted his sophomore film 'Us' at South by Southwest film festival at Austin, Texas last Friday.

'Us' tells the story of a family, led by Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke, who are terrorized by their creepy doppelgangers.

The film was rapturously received by critics and audiences.

It should surprise no one that US is a very satisfying (and anxiety-inducing) follow up to GET OUT. What’s more fascinating: that a high-concept FUNNY GAMES/Hitchcock/Cronenberg/Bradbury mashup could feel so fresh at the same time. #sxsw

Jordan Peele's "Us" is a horror masterpiece. We are witnessing the birth of our modern day Hitchcock. 20 years from now we will ask one another what our favorite Peele film is & you will get 10/12 different answers. Incredible performance from Lupita Nyong'o! #UsMovie #UsFirst pic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd

US: Well, that was...DIFFERENT! Engrossing, scary, intense & unnerving, but also weird & bizarre! A bold, ambitious, *unpredictable* dark comedy, but what’s it all mean? A peculiar film, not sure what to make of it, need to see again! That’s a good thing...right? #USmovie #SXSW pic.twitter.com/0sBEg2P0Y9
