A horror masterpiece

This Twitter user made it clear that Jordan Peele is more than just a rising star these days.

Jordan Peele's "Us" is a horror masterpiece. We are witnessing the birth of our modern day Hitchcock. 20 years from now we will ask one another what our favorite Peele film is & you will get 10/12 different answers. Incredible performance from Lupita Nyong'o! #UsMovie #UsFirst pic.twitter.com/vvHunYqSxd

Winning an Oscar

One user things awards season is going to be kind to "Us" and the stars of the movie.

My review for #UsMovie. Lupita is about to win another Oscar but this time as lead actress. She should actually win 2.

High praise indeed

This user also thinks Peele is more than a rising star. He's already cemented as a legend.

#UsMovie just cemented Jordan Peele as the greatest horror mastermind of the decade. A terrifying, funny, smart, thoughtful movie with a phenomenal cast. Between this and Little Monsters we are living in the year of Lupita Nyong’o!
