10 Disturbing Movie Reveals You Only Notice Rewatching

8. The Real Reason Adelaide Didn't Want To Go To The Beach - Us

After wandering around a spooky house of mirrors at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, a young Adelaide suddenly comes face to face with her doppelgänger and looks understandably a little shook up. However, it's only revealed late on that the young girl we're initially introduced to here ended up being forcibly replaced by said double, Red.

So, the woman seen trying to keep her family safe from the red-suited doppelgängers that eventually terrorise the surface was actually a clone.

But about an hour or so before that creepy development is confirmed on-screen, the apparent Addy gives off a few clues as to who she really is that are only detectable on a rewatch.

With the family planning on heading to the Santa Cruz beach during their vacation, fake Addy clearly isn't into the idea and wonders why they can't just stay where they are and go for a dip in the bay. Eventually her hubby Gabe is able to convince her it's a good idea. But only if they leave before dark.

When revisiting Jordan Peele's eerie masterpiece, this reluctance to return to the scene of her swap acts as the first delicious breadcrumb on the road to learning the Red truth.
