After the groundbreaking critical and commercial success of 2017’s Get Out, which includes 5 Academy Award nominations and the Oscar for Best Screenplay, director Jordan Peele is back with his second feaure: Us. The makers of the film released a trailer over Christmas, and it looks like Jordan has another horror hit on his hands. In fact, Us looks even more intense and terrifying than Get Out.
Check out the trailer.
Here’s the official synopsis of the film:
A mother (Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o from Black Panther, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and 12 Years a Slave) and a father (Winston Duke from Black Panther) take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends (including Emmy winner Elizabeth Moss from TV series The Handmaid’s Tale). But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.
Us stars Lupita Nyong’o, Elizabeth Moss and Winston Duke. It has a release date set for 15 March 2019 in the United States.
