Horror Movies With Incredible Performances

Ever since the premiere of Peele's sophomore feature Us at SXSW, Lupita Nyong'o's stunning performance as Adelaide and Red — two distinctly different but complementary versions of the same character — has been earning her high praise. Not since Jeremy Irons' turn in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers has an actor in a horror film rendered such a complex psychological study of the self through twinning. Nyong'o's transformation is physical and visceral and — pretty clearly — the caliber for awards consideration. So Peele kindly settled any debate before it began by tweeting: "Us is a horror movie."
In honor of all the actors who've toiled away in horror, either to be forgotten or snubbed, here are 13 horror performances we've adored – but which the major awards ignored.
