Check Out the Trailer for Jordan Peele’s New Film ‘Us’

Merry Christmas! I’m sure you’re all either opening gifts, drinking some spiked eggnog, or possibly avoiding your family entirely at this point of the day.  So if you’re in the later group and need some kind of distraction, I got a fantastic one for you.  Universal has released the first trailer for Jordan Peele’s next horror film “Us.”

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.

“Us” is set to hit theaters on March 15, 2019.  Check out the trailer below and prepare to be creeped out by the unthinkable: A haunting rendition of “I Got Five On It.”
