8 Upcoming Horror Films To Be Pumped For In 2019
4. Us
Prior to January of 2017, the world knew Jordan Peele as an incredibly talented comedy writer and performer who consistently delivered memorably and side-splitting material on shows like MADtv and Key and Peele.
Then January of 2017 rolled around and audiences across the globe were treated to the man's directorial debut, and things have never been the same since. That debut was Get Out, a film Peele both wrote and directed, which has since cemented its reputation as one of the greatest horror films of the last decade. The film earned rave reviews and made blockbuster-levels of money at the box office, becoming a bona fide phenomenon. Which meant that Peele was suddenly able to write his ticket.
He was offered all kinds of projects, several big-budget sequels and adaptations. But tellingly, Peele declined them all in favor of making another original film. Very little is upcoming sophomore film, Us, other than Peele has described it as a 'new nightmare' and that it will be another 'social-horror thriller' like Get Out.
That sparse description, Peele's involvement, and the incredible cast (Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss) are more than enough to earn the film a spot on this list. The film is currently in post-production and is set for release in March of 2019, which frankly, can't come soon enough.
