Film Fridays: “Us” New Details

Image Source: “Hollywoodreporter.com”

This film has been something of a wild card since its official trailer came out back in December 2018. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the trailer, aside for the fact that I definitely wanted to see it, and that, something very strange is happening in this cinematic universe. The trailer opens with a typical family vacation. Nothing out of the ordinary, and then, after the son either talks to or is kidnapped by this strange individual on the beach (I’m not sure which), the family encounters their “doppelgangers,” each of whom seem to be the opposite of the “real” family member. The atmosphere of the film is chilling in a way I really haven’t seen recently, but even now, there’s still very little information on what the premise of the film is, who these “doppelgangers” are, and what’s happening for them to want to attack everyone they basically can. However, new details seem to have been dropped in the most recent version of the trailer from Korea. I’m not entirely sure what to make of the “coincidences” Lupita Nyong’o’s character mentions in the beginning, but there has to be some significance I think.
