I know. I love horror movies, but I rarely go to see them in theaters these days. I even skip most of them once they hit dvd. They're just all the same. However there's a few gems in the mix. I really enjoyed US as well. Have you seen Hereditary yet? If not I'd highly recommend that. It's a slow burn, but that one actually flat out terrified me. It was so tense. And that's really hard to come by in horror films these days.
Yes, my expectations were fairly low. But then I started hearing good things so I thought it might be better than I was anticipating, but sadly I wasn't a fan. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than me though.
As for Alex, I still can't even understand how that's even possible to do. He's like a real life spider man
