年度十大電影？《Get Out》導演 Jordan Peele 最新驚悚力作《Us》首波評價出爐
影評：Jordan Peele 會是下一位 Steven Spielberg。
《Get Out》金獎導演 Jordan Peele 最新驚悚力作《Us》（我們 / 我們·異）過去已發佈第一波與第二波的預告，而就在上映前夕，《Us》搶先登陸 SXSW 年度盛會，並在播映後獲得一片讚譽。有看過預告的讀者能發現，Jordan Peele 於《Get Out》建立的個人驚悚風格同樣有在《Us》中顯露而出，總在極其詭異的配樂下透露劇情中所具備的深層社會探討，而 Jordan Peele 對《Us》的想法是這樣形容的：「We are at a time where we fear ‘the other’…I wanted to suggest that the monster has our face, maybe the evil is us.」揭示著自我亦是邪惡的真相。
眾多正評中有人讚賞了女主角 Lupita Nyong’o 的精湛演出，亦有人提到《Us》存有著 David Cronenberg、Ray Bradbury 與 Alfred Hitchcock 等多位恐怖、驚悚大導的風采，更點評 Jordan Peele 是下一位 Steven Spielberg，表示《Us》絕對會是年度最佳電影的有力候選代表。
Jordan Peele’s “Us” is a horror masterpiece. We are witnessing the birth of our modern day Hitchcock. 20 years from now we will ask one another what our favorite Peele film is & you will get 10/12 different answers. Incredible performance from Lupita Nyong’o! #UsMovie #UsFirst pic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd

It should surprise no one that US is a very satisfying (and anxiety-inducing) follow up to GET OUT. What’s more fascinating: that a high-concept FUNNY GAMES/Hitchcock/Cronenberg/Bradbury mashup could feel so fresh at the same time. #sxsw

#UsMovie just cemented Jordan Peele as the greatest horror mastermind of the decade. A terrifying, funny, smart, thoughtful movie with a phenomenal cast. Between this and Little Monsters we are living in the year of Lupita Nyong’o!

Jordan Peele’s #Us is absolutely nuts! Deliriously horrific, incredibly inventive, it has elements of the home invasion & zombie movies, but it is unlike anything I have ever seen. Wildly captivating from start to finish. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/vATBSUhD7e
