Jordan Peele's New Film Trailer For ‘Us' Brings Horror

"They look exactly like us"

The movie trailer for "Us" brought two and a half minutes of horror on Christmas Day. 

Academy Award winner Jordan Peele's second directorial effort is receiving a lot of buzz on social media. The film suggests "we are our own worst enemy" and is described as a "new nightmare" on its website

The trailer opens with a family cruising in a Mercedes to the beach while the song "I Got Five On It" by hip-hop group Luniz is playing in the car. 

The mom, played by Lupita Nyong'o, tells her son while he's sitting on his bed, "Stick with me and I'll keep you safe."

The father (Winston Duke of "Black Panther") confronts a family of four standing unrecognizable from a distance in dark shadows in the driveway. Later, a boy is seen wearing a white mask and the sound of a pair of gold scissors can be heard. 

Nyongo's character whispers: "They look exactly like us."
