Us is Jordan Peele's follow-up to Get Out, following the Wilson family whose beach vacation is shattered when a group of strangers who look exactly like them terrorize them. Starring Lupita Nyong'o in a dual performance that earned widespread acclaim, Us is a visceral horror film with deep allegorical themes.

Yes — Us is a genuinely frightening horror film with disturbing imagery and intense sequences. It's rated R for violence, terror, and language.
The film's twist reveals that Adelaide Wilson was herself a Tethered who switched places with her underground double as a child — recontextualizing everything we saw.
Both films are excellent, though different in tone. Get Out is more grounded and satirical; Us is more operatic and surreal. Many critics consider both essential modern horror.
