Jordan Peele's follow-up to 'Get Out' is the most recent in a string of eco-horror movies.

From left, Evan Alex, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Lupita Nyong'o in a scene from"Us." By Joseph Allen April 1 at 9:26 AM Joseph Allen is a freelance critic.The first image in “Us” is a warning. That caution isn’t about an impending attack from the Tethered, the doppelgängers who are revealed as the movie’s primary antagonists, or even about the underground world that those on the surface have long ignored.

Red , the doppelgänger who leads this revolution, succeeds because of the willful ignorance of those on the surface. The movie’s title serves as a constant reminder that its characters have failed to engage with the threats that they themselves create. The doppelgängers, like climate change, are everyone’s problem, which makes them easy to ignore and hard to tackle.

“Us” and “Annihilation” both offer eco-horror in a subtle, ambiguous way. They have the environment on their mind, but also ideas about repressed memories, trauma and depression. The same can be said about 2017’s “Mother!” though it’s not nearly as subtle.
