Us

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 2019

The Pitch: Jordan Peele's dreamlike follow-up to "Get Out" earned mixed reviews, but if you let go and let your subconscious mind appreciate the rich imagery and symbolism in this action-packed story of doubles surfacing to wreak havoc, you're bound to have a good time. It's a perfect summer horror movie and a perfect double feature with "The Lost Boys" or "Parasite."
