Jordan Peele's Return To Horror Is Utterly Terrifying. Here's The Trailer For 2019's Us
Hello nerds!
Get ready to mention Jordan Peele’s among other horror icons like Stephen King and Wes Craven, because his latest film will surely cement his status as such. Not only is the writer and director of this year’s horror smash hit, Get Out, developing a revival of The Twilight Zone, but he’s also been hard at work on what looks to be another fantastically creepy horror film.
In the trailer for Us, we see Black Panther stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, play a couple who take their kids on a nice trip to the beach with some friends, and as they do in horror films, things horribly wrong. Later that night at the family’s home, they are visited/stalked/haunted by the “bizarro” versions of themselves; whom Peele revealed he calls “The Tethered” (not nightmarish at all). And from there things to completely off the fucking rails.
Hang on folks, because this trailer is truly scary and I am so very much looking forward to seeing this film.
Us is in theaters on March 15, 2019.
“After sending shockwaves across contemporary culture and setting a new standard for provocative, socially-conscious horror films with his directorial debut, Get Out, Academy Award®-winning visionary Jordan Peele returns with another original nightmare that he has written, directed and produced.
Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband, Gabe (Black Panther’s Winston Duke), and their two children (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex) for an idyllic summer getaway.
Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.
After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves. ”
