Peele’s last flick was the doppelganger thriller Us which currently holds a killer 93% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads, “With Jordan Peele’s second inventive, ambitious horror film, we have seen how to beat the sophomore jinx, and it is Us.”
You can read Peele’s stellar screenplay right HERE.
It centers on a woman who returns with her family to the home where she grew up as a child. Haunted by a traumatic experience from the past, she grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen. Her worst fears soon become a reality when four masked strangers descend upon the house, forcing the Wilsons into a fight for survival. When the masks come off, the family is horrified to learn that each attacker takes the appearance of one of them.
It stars Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson/Red, Winston Duke as Gabriel “Gabe” Wilson/Abraham, Shahadi Wright Joseph as Zora Wilson/Umbrae, Evan Alex as Jason Wilson/Pluto, Elisabeth Moss as Kitty Tyler/Dahlia, Tim Heidecker as Josh Tyler/Tex, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
