I think it definitely grapples with some of your pet themes, even if it doesn't have the tremendous clarity of vision that Get Out did. <br />As you may have noticed, I'm not doing contemporary reviews at the moment, but I did enjoy Us quite a bit as a well-constructed horror flick, and it's about seventeen severed heads and shoulders above A Quiet Place.
