Year: 2019

Director: Jordan Peele

Rotten Tomatoes: 93%

Plot: A family vacationing at Santa Cruz is attacked by mysterious masked doubles of themselves, forcing them to confront an army of murderous counterparts known as the Tethered.

Marcela Notes: To this day I still can't decide if I like this or not. I do, I just have too many qualms and questions to really suspend my disbelief. I love the originality, the performances were fantastic, just so many head scratchers I didn't fully believe in. 

Fun Fact: Jordan Peele gave the cast a homework assignment of eleven horror movies to watch together so they would develop a “shared language” for the film. The list included Jaws, The Shining, The Babadook, It Follows, Martyrs, Funny Games, and The Sixth Sense.
