Is Jordan Peele’s Us okay for kids?

Jordan Peele debuts his latest horror masterpiece, Us, in theaters on March 22, and what many parents want to know, is if the film will be okay for kids?

It’s safe to say that many are anticipating Jordan Peele’s latest horror classic, Us.

While the film has gotten some really great reviews early on, the question for adults with kids is if the film will be okay for the little ones. In order to answer that question, we must give you the general premise of Us.

The film showcases a family who takes a vacation to Santa Cruz, CA. One night, they’re “visited” by a family, who happen to be doppelgangers of the family. From the trailers, Us promises to be nightmare fuel for everyone who views it.

I, personally, have had some friends who are terrified to see the movie, and have also banned “I Got 5 On It” from their playlist. These, mind you, are grown adults, and if it comes across as too much for adults, then that should tell you all one need’s to know about if Us is kid-friendly.

Sure, for teenagers, this film may or may not have an effect on them, but for kids under the age of 13, Us may be a bit too much for them. The film is a mind-trick that has left an impression on many who have had the opportunity to see it early, and the disturbing images that are peppered in Us are definitely not suitable for kids.

Take Jason Wilson (Evan Alex) character, whose doppelganger, Pluto, is disfigured and is, somehow, immune to fire. Imagine a six-year-old watching that, and you’ll be having to calm them down every single night for the next week.

Case in point, Us is a new age horror film that stays to the genre’s roots, meaning that this will not be suitable for kids. It’s also rated R. So, if you have plans to see Us, make sure to find a babysitter and keep the little ones at home for this one.
