Fuelled by terrific performances and a razor-sharp script,
Jordan Peele’s second film is another horror masterclass
DIRECTOR Jordan Peele
starring Lupita Nyong’o,
Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss
How do you follow
up one of the most
successful and well-
received horror films in recent
memory? If you’re Get Out
director Jordan Peele, then you
make another film in the same
genre that’s just as fantastic.
Starring Black Panther
alumni Lupita Nyong’o and

MAR
Winston Duke, Us sees a
young family travelling to their
beach house to spend some
time with their friends. There,
events take a turn for the
horrific when four uninvited
guests arrive. Guests who look
exactly like them… Yikes!
While Get Out had comedic
undertones, Us is more of a
straight-up horror, designed
largely to scare the bejesus out of
you. And boy does it succeed.
PEELE PEDIGREE
Us is only Jordan Peele’s second
film. His first, Get Out – a horror
satire reflecting the realities of
racism in today’s America – was
a monstrous hit, taking $255
million at the global box office
and winning Peele the 2018
Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
The film was also nominated for
Best Motion Picture of the Year,
Best Director and Best Actor
(for Daniel Kaluuya). If you
haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s
a modern-day horror classic.
Released, fittingly,
on International

MAR
Women’s Day, Captain
Marvel is the first solo film
for a Marvel heroine. So was
it worth the wait? Absolutely!
Starring Oscar-winner Brie
Larson as former US fighter
pilot Carol Danvers, the film
tells the origin story of our
titular high-flyer, specifically
how Danvers became one of
the universe’s most powerful
entities and joined the elite
Starforce. With Sam Jackson
appearing as Avengers fave
Nick Fury, this 21st film from
the MCU is as funny, jaw-
dropping and tremendously
entertaining as anything the
studio has produced to date,
with an added layer of intrigue:
it’s set in 1995! How, then, does
this story fit into the bigger
MCU picture, specifically
Avengers: Endgame, which
follows right on Marvel’s heels?
That would be telling, but
we can say this: block out your
diary, because this is part one of
the movie event of 2019 – and
it’s going to blow your mind.
