    Entertaining plot with lots of stuff happening that don't matter at all.

    Jordan Peele's new movie, although a bit more mainstream than his debut, Get Out, is still a solid movie despite it's flaws.

    In a story that could have come out of a Twilight Zone episode, Peele's use of sound and music creates an atmosphere with a creepy feeling that unfortunately, is undermined by what we could call ill-timed "jokes". The lighter tone comes at the expense of tension-cutting moments that happen a bit too many times.

    With a stellar performance…

    Alright, I'll make it brief, since it's late over here: Not as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.

    Bill Hader proves again that he's an underrated, yet great actor. He easily steals the show for me alongside Jessica Chastain. James McAvoy is good, but I've seen him better.

    The story's pacing may seem a little slow at first, but I'd say the pay off is good enough to warrant a 6€ ticket.

    Go see it if you liked the first one, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time.
