Over the last several years, Jordan Peele has redefined the horror genre, giving audiences imaginative, gruesome stories that yield a substantial degree of social commentary. Nope is his newest endeavor, and by the looks of its first trailer, we’re in for one hell of a ride!
In typical Peele fashion, the major plot points have mainly gone unknown–the trailer does nothing to change that. However, the film’s incredible cinematography is on full display, giving us an eerie feeling of dread and hysteria as a group of residents find themselves on the run from something sinister.
Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, and Steven Yeun, Nope takes over theaters (and our mind) on July 22.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
