The film stars Winston Duke—of M’Baka fame—and Lupita Nyong’o, who play parents of two young children who try to fend off an identical, slightly more murder-y family while on vacation in Northern California. Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, a bloody pair of scissors, and a terrifying remix of Luniz’s “I Got 5 on It” also make appearances in the trailer.
According to Vulture, Unlike Get Out, Peele says Us isn’t a film about race, but about “a new monster.”
“Stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society,” he told reporters at a recent trailer screening, noting that Us is “about something that’s become an undeniable fact: the simple truth that we are our own worst enemies.”
Us comes out on March 15.
