We’ve been teasing the new film from Jordan Peele for the past few weeks now. Slowly, but surely, details have been trickling out about what he would be following up his Academy Award-winning effort with, and it sounded pretty promising. On Christmas day, Universal opted to release the brand-new trailer for the impending film Us…and it didn’t disappoint.
The trailer starts off with a happy-go-lucky family on their way to a beach vacation. Things seem to be going well…until some unexpected visitors ruin everything. But these aren’t just your average, ordinary home invaders. These creepy weirdos are mirror versions of our heroes, and they think and act exactly like them — oh yeah, and for some reason, they want to kill them. So there’s that, too.

Below is the official synopsis for Us:
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.
