IMO I feel as though that Peele is very good at creating interesting concepts rather than fully exploring it (With the exception of Get Out). Nope’s concept of the UFO was awesome, but I feel as though he didn’t really do that much with it. Similar with Us. You can tell he was more interested in the concepts that he made rather than the story and characters in the film. Not bad, just not amazing as his other content.

I agree Peele is a concept man. I also think that Get out was probably something that he dreamed of making if he ever got to make a film. Where as Us is a follow up to one of the biggest smash hits in horror ever. Following Get out would be hard for any filmmaker. I'm not saying Us is better than Get out, I'm just saying Us is great to me. I had a blast watching it and tbh I was more scared too. I just saw so many comments trashing Us and I disagree. Us is awesome
