Read at your own risk *Not spoilers just general reactions*

She loves it and states that it reminds her of The Birds. It is not another Hereditary, Mother!, or Suspiria. It is actually very commercial and way more of a straight up horror-thriller/mystery than Get Out is according to her. I have no idea what that suggests about its Oscar chances, and she states that she never tries to guess that kind of stuff. She does say that the performances are great, Lupita Nyong'o is the best that she


Idk brehs..not the Hitchcock film I was hoping they'd riff on...

We'll see. Seems more commercial as well.

Hmm The Birds huh :jbhmm:


Looks right. :leon:

Peele made sure she watched that movie.

Peele made Nyong’o watch 10 horror movies to prepare for the role: Dead Again, The Shining, The Babadook, It Follows, A Tale of Two Sisters, The Birds, Funny Games, Martyrs, Let the Right One In, and The Sixth Sense. That’s a good list! It’s a mix of old classics (The Birds, The Shining), new favorites (It Follows, The Babadook), foreign films (A Tale of Two Sisters, Martyrs, Let the Right One In), and, uh, Dead Again, a romantic-thriller starring Kenneth Branagh. Will Lupita see dead (again) people?

Details are very, very vague about Peele’s upcoming film Us. The story is set in the present day and follows Adelaide and Gabe Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) as they take their kids to Adelaide’s old childhood beachside home in Northern California for the summer. After a day at the beach with the Tyler family (which includes Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker), Adelaide — who’s haunted by a lingering trauma from her past — becomes increasingly more paranoid that something bad will happen to her family. As night falls, the Wilsons see four figures holding hands and standing silently at the bottom of their driveway… (Did shivers just go up your spine?)
