Check out the trailer for Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’

Jordan Peele has proven he can write and direct the hell out of a horror movie with Get Out, which earned him an Academy Award, so we can’t wait to see his latest film, Us. From the atmospheric remix of “I Got 5 on It” to the eerie feel of each shot, this thing looks creepy and downright excellent. Read the synopsis below for more info.

Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) is a woman returning to her Northern California 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 (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.
