Horror genre research

 The element of my drama that I have based it on upon watching "Us" would be a horror. I say this because throughout the entire film I was confused about what was happening. Until it got to the very end and everything was clarified. Of the meaning behind everything and how intricate it was to the story. If there was never that element in the movie it just would not be a good one. An element I also enjoyed from the movie would be raised questions on why they were they and what they wanted. Due to the questions being asked there was a sort of realization of why It was happening throughout the film. When the questions were being answered by the party inflicting the terror. Due to the element of raised questions, the whole process went slower. With having to find out why it took place in the first place. High emotions as well from this movie would be a great element. Due to the level of the charters really playing their roles well enough to make the audience jump.  This brings up an element I did not enjoy from the film which would the lack of truth from the characters. Like the mother not telling her family the true reason why she doesn't like that particular beach in the first place. I feel like if she would have said that from the beginning the whole issue would have been resolved a lot quicker. It was just an inconvenience for her not to tell her family and have everyone go through hell. That she caused in the first place due to the things that happened to her as a child. Throughout the entire film, they did execute perfectly the level of suspense. Of not know what's to come next and wanting to know. So the audience was ready to get up and leave but at the same time still in their seats. The movie left me with the feeling of knowing the resolution and scared. This is probably what they wanted the audience to feel after deciphering all the codes they put in the movie.
