Out This Week
Us
Thrilling and horrifying in equal measure, Jordan Peele returns for his second directorial role, with Us, following the critical acclaim of his debut horror, Get Out.
The Wilsons are looking to escape the madness of day-to-day life, so take a family trip to their beach hut. But things aren’t as they seem, and serenity soon turns to chaos when they come up against their evil equals. Us stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Shahadi Wright Joseph.
As Gabe goes to confront the unwelcome strangers, it becomes eerily clear to the Wilsons that the intruders are more familiar to them than they first thought. Staring menacingly back at the family are their bloodthirsty doppelgangers – but there’s only room for one of each.

Dumbo is the laughingstock of the show, a baby elephant with huge, oversized ears. But there is far more to Dumbo than meets the eye, as Holt and the children discover that Dumbo’s ears enable the little elephant to fly!
