10 Most Anticipated Original Horror Films 2019
2. Us
Jordan Peele's latest spooky endeavour after 2017's smash hit Get Out is already set to be an amazing addition to 2019's line-up. Whilst details about the film were mostly hush-hush in the run up to its trailer release, Christmas Day saw Us reveal what exactly all the hype is about. Is there any better present than that of pants-wetting horror to finish up your turkey dinner with? I think not.
What we saw was a creepy, ominous tone, reflective of Peele's seminal Get Out to the point that fans were speculating whether the films would be set in the same universe. In Us, a young family travel to a beach house in the hopes of spending time with friends - that is, until a group of strangers crash the party. And to make the strangers even more strange, they look exactly like the Wilson family.
With plenty of scissor-shaped accidents waiting to happen, it looks as if Peele has managed to make a movie that's deeply unsettling, and potentially proven lightning can strike twice after the incredible reception of Get Out.
