Not the greatest movie of all time like some people are hyping it to be, but it was a good solid scary movie.
I also thought "Get Out" was a good movie, but also over-hyped.
Jordan Peele is hot right now, and I like his stuff. I used to watch "Key and Peele" and liked that too. But I don't see him as the great genius that some are making him out to be.
Peele's metaphor, social commentary, and symbolism game is 10/10. The actual horror aspect is more like a 6/10. Like you put it, it shapes up to be a solid flick, if not amazing. I personally liked Get Out more than Us, although that might just be because I prefer the kind of horror of Get Out over Us.
The thing I like most about his films is that they truly deserve a second and even third viewing. Both for things you missed and things that take on an entirely new meaning.
