Us premiered at SXSW last night and reviews are starting to come out. Looks like another insanely good movie from Peele. Great reviews from across the board, apparently really scary and does some unexpected stuff. Not quite the acclaim Get Out got, but close. I expect this to do 50M+ opening weekend. Careful clicking the Variety review, they usually have spoilers, I didn't check.

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
A brilliant home-invasion thriller laced with cultural reference points stretching back to the late โ80s, and a smorgasbord of first-rate visceral cinematic scares. Think โFunny Gamesโ collided with Cronenbergian body horror and Hitchockian suspense, and youโre maybe halfway there.
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Clearly the work of an ambitious writer/director who can see himself inheriting the mantle of Rod Serling ... it offers twists and ironies and false endings galore โ along with more laughs than the comedian-turned-auteur dared to include in his debut film. ... It packs a punch.
The A.V. Club - Randall Colburn
Us is something of a frustrating watch, a visual and technical marvel that just doesnโt seem to know what it is. Unlike Get Out, which only swelled in impact as you left the theater, Us is best viewed on a visceral level, not an intellectual one.
Variety - Peter Debruge
Terrifying...The less you know going in โ and the less energy you spend thinking about it after the fact โ the better the movie works, trading on some uncanny combination of Peeleโs imagination and our own to suggest a horror infinitely larger and more insidious than the film is capable of representing
We Live Entertainment - Ashley Menzel
Breathtakingly haunting and in a way, surreal, Us is a must-see that will horrify audiences the world over.
Dread Central - Jonathan Barkan
Jordan Peele's Us is one of the most original horror titles in recent years. This movie is destined for greatness.
Vanyaland - Nick Johnston
Us is a tremendous accomplishment.
CNET - Erin Carson
Similarly, Us mirrors Get Out. It's more scary fare with social commentary. But the copy's never quite the same as the original.
The Daily Beast - Kevin Fallon
Jordan Peele's Us is a stellar follow-up to Get Out and its going to be a huge hit.
