10 Horror Movie Characters Who Were Their Own Worst Enemy
3. Adelaide -- Us (2019)
Before Nope there was Us, Jordan Peele's second foray into the world of horror and, by all accounts, one of the more creative and intriguing horror films to hit our screens in years.
Lupita Nyong'o leads the cast as Adelaide Wilson, a mother of two who suffers from chilling memories of a dark and disturbing past, and who tries to get away from it all for a while by going on vacation with her family. But it seems a quiet life is too much to ask for, and a family of four doppelgangers -- the Wilson's doubles in every way but their voices -- turn up at the beach house with murder and vengeance and who only knows what else on their minds.
Adelaide's counterpart is Red, and we discover that her horrific anti-family come from a 'tethered' world underneath the one we know, where each individual (or genetic clone, as is later revealed) shares a soul with their human counterpart. Not only is Adelaide her own worst enemy in the sense of her soul-tethered doppelganger reaping havoc upon her life, but it transpires that Adelaide is in fact Red herself, having tricked the real Adelaide and switched places when they were younger.
