A family in double trouble

Jordan Peele follows up ‘Get Out’ with the horror ‘Us’, about a family terrified by their doppelgangers, writes Georgia Humphreys

Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Get Out, redefined the horror genre. A socially-conscious thriller, it explores what it means to be black in America, and in 2018, it won the Academy Award for best original screenplay. The plot involves a young black man uncovering a disturbing secret while meeting the family of his white girlfriend. New Yorker Peele is back with Us, another original nightmare that he has written, directed, and produced.
