Beim SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, feierte mit Wir der neue Horrorfilm von Oscar-Preisträger Jordan Peele (Get Out) seine Premiere. Natürlich ließen es sich die Anwesenden nicht nehmen, nach der Veranstaltung ihre Meinung via Twitter kund zu tun. Bislang waren die Reaktionen auf den Film höchst positiv. Unten haben wir euch einige Tweets eingefügt. Viel Spaß.
In Wir fahren Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave) und Gabe Wilson (Winston Duke, Black Panther) mit ihren beiden Kindern an den Strand und wollen Zeit mit ihren Freunden (u. a. Elizabeth Moss, The Square) verbringen. Die ausgelassene Urlaubsstimmung verwandelt sich allerdings in einen Albtraum, als am Abend plötzlich eine Gruppe unheimlicher Gestalten vor ihrem Haus auftaucht. Schon bald muss die Familie feststellen, dass die Fremden ihnen ähnlicher sind, als sie dachten.
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#UsFirstpic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd
US (2019): It's tempting to frame #UsMovie as a feature-length episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE - it is, at times, more concept than characters - but that does no justice to how effective and entertaining the film is throughout. Those home invasion sequences are absolute all-timers. pic.twitter.com/19jsq858jT
#SXSW: @JordanPeele’s #USmovie frays your nerves with exacting precision, ambitious original ideas, and moments that will traumatize (in... the best way, as great genre films do?) a whole generation of youngs who sneak in to see it. ✂️ Also: Lupita. Is. INCREDIBLE. pic.twitter.com/bdM5EwI0bW
Jordan Peele did something amazing. #UsMovie is another film you have to see multiple times. Like what the hell. Can’t wait until it’s in theaters March 22! #UsFirstpic.twitter.com/kln8Cd1AY0
#UsMovie is a super thrilling follow up for Jordan Peele. There are so many puzzle pieces to put together along the way. And of course Lupita Nyong’o is an acting force. You haven’t seen anything quite like this. #sxswpic.twitter.com/cKafg6lyPj

I will not for a minute claim any real understanding of what I just watched but it was comfortably a top ten lifetime movie going experience. #USmovie
#USMovie is @JordanPeele’s definitive love letter to the Horror genre. The lovable family, the terrifying slashers, the spine-tingling score, the buckets of blood, and most importantly a hell of an experience that will put a permanent grin on your terrified face. ✂️ pic.twitter.com/MaBQgllqW5

Us is real good. It’s unfair to compare it to Peele’s first film, but it does share the same sense of smarts, attention to character work and combining scary stuff with humor. I will say it does make me look forward to his Twilight Zone even more than I was before.

So #UsMovie , is a good time. REALLY. Winston Duke is fantastic, and assumes Peele's humor well. Lupita is a carnal whirlwind. Shades of Jaws, Stepford Wives, the Shinning. Could have been shorter and maybe tries too hard to be a statement, like GET OUT. But def. a win. #SXSW
