Dec 25, 2018 8:59 PM CUT The spooky trailer for Jordan Peele’s newest work, _Us_, is out, showing a family vacation that turns terrifying when a group of shadowy figures goes on the attack. The trailer shows the Wilson family heading to a beach vacation in Northern California. While things are peaceful at first, they go awry after the Wilsons come under attack from the suspicious figures. Known as The Tethered, the scary figures end up being doppelgängers of the whole family — leading to some chill-inducing confusion. The film, which stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, is the second horror installment from Peele, who took home an Academy Award last year for [directing _Get Out_](http://time.com/5188033/jordan-peele-get-out-chair-oscars-2018/ "undefined"). The _Us_ trailer, which features the Wilsons coming face to face with the terrifying figures who eerily look like them, prompted funny online reactions as people joked through their fear about facing a doppelgänger. “I think the main idea that went into writing this film is that we’re our own worst enemy, and that idea created this monster, The Tethered,” Peele told [_Entertainment Weekly_](https://ew.com/trailers/2018/12/25/us-movie-trailer-jordan-peele/ "undefined")about the film. > [](https://twitter.com/urbestenemy/status/1077576445541654528) > [](https://twitter.com/AlsoPurple/status/1077661327173341184) > [](https://twitter.com/buuthehuman/status/1077603535003492352) > [](https://twitter.com/wondermann5/status/1077631317712371712) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5488245/jordan-peele-us-new-horror-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5488245/jordan-peele-us-new-horror-movie/"},"headline":"The Creepy Trailer for Jordan Peele's New Film Us Is Here","datePublished":"2018-12-25T20:59:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T22:21:23.754Z","description":"The spooky trailer for Jordan Peele's newest work, Us, is out, showing a family vacation that turns terrifying when a group of shadowy figures goes...","url":"https://time.com/5488245/jordan-peele-us-new-horror-movie/","keywords":["movies","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt00a9b7805739419c/6988f92397cdffcc3c6b4089/jordan-peele.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt00a9b7805739419c/6988f92397cdffcc3c6b4089/jordan-peele.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet","creditText":"Emma McIntyre—Getty Images for Turner Image","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5488245/jordan-peele-us-new-horror-movie/","name":"The Creepy Trailer for Jordan Peele's New Film Us Is Here"}}]}] ```
