Jordan Peele's Us Gets A Terrifying First Trailer

The first trailer for Jordan Peele's follow-up to Get Out is finally here. However, Us is certainly a world away from the horrors we faced in Peele's directorial debut.

The Us trailer opens with the young family leisurely enjoying a drive while listening to Luniz's 1995 hit I've Got Five On It. While everything seems to be perfect at first, things begin to get dangerous at nightfall.

The official synopsis for Us reads as follows:

"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."

The trailer certainly has people at the edge of their seats. There is little doubt that Peele will only again terrify audiences next year.

Us is scheduled for release on March 15, 2019.
