New Cinema, Thriller Cinema
The residents of a lonely gulch in inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery.
Oscar® winner Jordan Peele disrupted and redefined modern horror with Get Out and then Us. Now, he reimagines the summer movie with a new pop nightmare: the expansive horror epic, Nope. The film reunites Peele with Oscar® winner Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah), who is joined by Keke Palmer (Hustlers, Alice) and Oscar® nominee Steven Yeun (Minari, Okja) as residents in a lonely gulch of inland California who bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. Nope, which co-stars Michael Wincott (Hitchcock, Westworld) and Brandon Perea (The OA, American Insurrection), is written and directed by Jordan Peele and is produced by Ian Cooper (Us, Candyman) and Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw Productions.
Jordan Peele’s third film is funny, weird as hell and thrillingly original – ★★★★★
Independent
Kaluuya moves through the increasingly bizarre action with a rocky stoicism that makes Clint Eastwood seem like Jim Carrey – ★★★★
