@@amandamorgan8349 there's nothing dramatic about someone stealing a box of fried chicken and licking fingers after eating it while being way too big to eat it...That was one of the most horrific movies ever made next to 'The Color Purple'...Hence the reason that idol was given for "a job well done".

[@cuquee12]

Yes! I am so glad to see "us" stretching into the horror, thriller genre even more over the last 5 years. I have been a fan of Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and other writers since the 90's. This area has always been dominated by non-blacks and I always felt we had the potential to expand beyond comedy and gangster films. So glad to be here to see this. It's refreshing. Especially after not seeing it growing up in the 80's. Young black youth, please understand how much representation you have in 2023. Appreciate it and celebrate it. ❤️ I'm glad that the film is getting great ratings and reviews. Monique has always been an amazing actress. 😊

[@CrayDreZ]

THIS…..👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 being born in 92 and just being a horror nerd since I was 5 I have ALWAYS noticed that we were in thriller/horror films for comedic relief or to be “the first one killed” but we were never taken SERIOUSLY! So it’s so amazing to be alive right now because there are so many shows and movies being created where we are just “existing” just because and we are actually taken seriously. Anyone who’s a fan of horror should know it’s a Europe dominated genre but it’s AMAZING to see non whites being in these films. Makes it feel more real & relatable
