Jordan Peele's 'Us' further proves that 'The Twilight Zone' reboot is in good hands

Peele's idea of what would unnerve the audience most is exhibited in 'Us' — something that he can be expected to put to use in his upcoming reboot of the Rod Serling series

Jordan Peele's latest solo directing-writing venture, 'Us', just debuted at SXSW, and according to early reviews, even though it might not be as unconventional as his debut 'Get Out', it still manages to raise expectations for his upcoming reboot of 'The Twilight Zone.' All three being horrors, the reason why the 'Get Out' comparison was inevitable for the newly premiered 'Us' is primarily its social commentary quotient as Peele has proven to be a master at telling stories with a twisted satirical spin on horrors faced by the black community. But even though 'The Twilight Zone' will be a fictional anthology arriving on Netflix, the theatrical eerieness of the upcoming show is what fans could look forward to the most, if 'Us' is any proof of the surrealism in horror that Peele is capable of.
