Lupita Nyong'o The way the song "I Got 5 On It" is used in the film. (0 more)
A modern horror masterpiece
I enjoyed Peele's first film "Get Out" and was expecting the same with this film but this was oh so much better.

Without giving anything away the film becomes at a steady pace,beginning with a flashback of nyong'o character as a little girl and then on to her as an adult with her own family as they head out on vacation.Once that fun day out is over then things take a sinister and nasty turn.

Fantastic performances from all but a special mention has to go to Nyong'o who is just incredible.A special mention goes to the use of the song "I Got 5 On It" in the film especially in a major set piece of the film.

An essential see for all fans of horror films.

Jordan Peele doing what he does best
I believe that Jordan Peele (one of my favourite directors recently) has truly found his forte. Successfully, he creates another amazing horror film that leaves you tingling with suspended throughout the entire film. The cast also have been chosen perfectly for their roles and the characterisation that comes with them, however this can only be done with skilled actors such as Lupita Nyong'o. Only problem was the tethered lady's voice which sounded like she needed a good cough (just joking ? ). Brilliant film though

Jordan Peele is a very good storyteller. Much like Get Out, there is a message behind the story and the film is filled with easter eggs and some pretty amazing jokes. I laughed quite a bit throughout. The cast of this movie is amazing. Lupita Nyong'o does an exceptionally good job. The lead actor, whose name escapes me, was playing a character clearly modeled after Peele himself which just made him that much funnier. I kept wondering during the movie, having never seen the actor in anything else, if maybe they had grown up together or something because he sounds EXACTLY like Peele so I did some digging and found that it was a conscious acting decision which I applaud. It was a good choice and he played it so well. There is a twist ending, however, it seemed fairly obvious to me very early on in the film. My only real problem with the film is how much is left unexplained. It's understandable given how the story is being told but at the same time it's a bit frustrating when the film ends and you still have so many questions!
