Jordan Peele gifts the first trailer for his chilling new horror tale Us

Tis' the season for new movie trailers and what better way to kick off Christmas morning than with a chilling new trailer from Jordan Peele from his new horror thriller US? After the massive success of his debut effort GET OUT, Peele is back at it again, this time bringing along Winston Duke (BLACK PANTHER) and Lupita Nyong'o as a couple with two kids who encounter another family of the same make-up, but with some startling differences…and similarities! Check it out…

Here's the synopsis:

After sending shockwaves across contemporary culture and setting a new standard for provocative, socially-conscious horror films with his directorial debut, Get Out, Academy Award®-winning visionary Jordan Peele returns with another original nightmare that he has written, directed and produced.

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 cuts into theaters on March 15th, 2019
