GIVEAWAY: US available now on Digital & 4K and releasing on Blu-Ray/DVD on June 18

Happy Saturday MMT Fam! Today’s giveaway is a copy of one of my favorite movies this year – US. You can read my full review of the film here, but my synopsis below pretty much covers my feelings,

“More thriller than horror, with plenty of gore, US is a fitting follow-up to Get Out that, unlike its predecessor, forces its audience to not focus mostly on racial implications but makes everyone watching face the looking-glass to see his or her own reflection in this US (United States – pun intended) society/culture that we’ve created. And although I originally left the theater thinking it was 3.5 beats on the MMTrometer, I can’t deny how wicked Peele’s mind is (intelligence and horror wise), how he has me in serious thought days later, and am upping that rating to a solid 4 beats. Jordan Peele is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the genre.”

With must-see performances from Academy Award^® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Black Panther, 12 Years a Slave), Winston Duke (Black Panther), Emmy® winner Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Mad Men”) and Tim Heidecker (The Comedy, “Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories”), US is truly a one-of-a-kind tale deemed “the most out-of-the-box horror film of the past decade,” by Nathaniel Brail (Heroic Hollywood). Movie enthusiasts and horror fans alike can watch US again and again to unravel its darkest secrets. Doppelgängers. Hands Across America. The Nutcracker. Rabbits. 11:11. The key themes and imagery from the movie are unpacked and explained in exceptional bonus content such as The Duality of US featurette where Jordan Peele talks in-depth about many of the ideas behind the film.

To put your name in the hat to win, you must be a subscriber of this site and send an email to contests@musicmoviesthoughts.com with the subject line “Doppelganger” with your full name and address in the body. One will winner will be selected at random and notified by Friday, June 21.

US

Set along the North California coastline, Adelaide Wilson (Nyong’o) reluctantly returns to her beachside childhood home with her family and finds that she is haunted by unresolved trauma from her past along with a string of eerie coincidences.
