Very interesting. A lot different tonally than I expected, but I'm very much in.

Hopefully it's more in the vein of Get Out which is a pretty neat concept and less like Us which completely falls apart and makes no sense the minute you start pulling the thread.

Get Out ends on a lame joke about the TSA which undercuts the horror of the story. Us ends on a haunting final image which forces you to confront who you've identified with, if they've deserved it, and the thematic implications of the film's metaphor (and what that metaphor even is).
Us is better.

But the logic of Us -- specifically the mythology of The Tethered -- makes no sense and poses a boatload of questions once you really start to think about it. And the way it just becomes another slasher movie in its second half, compared against the largely psychological and downright unnerving quality of Get Out, is disappointing.
Get Out is better.
