Us stars Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke talk doppelgangers, racism, zombies and working with Jordan Peele to Sky News.
Duke explains:"It's a story of power and privilege and the people that you render invisible or speechless. The people who bear the burden of your actions and are aware of you, but you're not aware of them because of your privilege."
For Duke, who gets the lion's share of the funny lines, it's about the genre serving the story - with both comedy and horror allowing for taboos to be broken and providing a sense of release. While comedy was a keystone of Duke's portrayal as affable dad Gabe, Nyong'o had precious little light relief to fall back on in her roles.As her shadow self, Red, she is filled with murderous rage.
They clearly relished working with each other too, having gone to drama school together before working on the blockbuster Black Panther.
