It’s Christmas morning and Universal Pictures has given horror fans a gift, the first trailer for Jordan Peele‘s monster movie Us.
Set in the present day the film follows Adelaide (Lupita Nying’o) and Gabe Wilson (Winson Duke) as they take their kids to visit Adelaide’s childhood North California home for the summer. After a day spent at the beach with the Tyler family (Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker), Adelaide – who is haunted by her past trauma – becomes increasingly paranoid that something bad is going to happen to her family. As the night falls the Wilsons see four figures standing silently at the end of their driveway.
For my second feature, I wanted to create a monster mythology,” Peele told EW during a recent interview. “I wanted to do something that was more firmly in the horror genre but still held on to my love of movies that are twisted but fun.”
Us, the follow up to Peele’s award-winning social thriller Get Out, opens in theaters on March 15, 2019.
