On October 8th Get a Double-Dose of Horror from Director Jordan Peele in 4K!

JORDAN PEELE'S "US" AND "GET OUT"  HAVE BEEN PAIRED UP IN A NEW 4K ULTRA HD DOUBLE FEATURE FROM UNIVERSAL!

It's kind of funny how people who have spent a large part of their careers doing Comedy, can be so adept at crafting great Horror stories. Case in point, Jordan Peele: His movie GET OUT, which I saw during it's initial theatrical release, was really enjoyable, and I've heard a lot of good things about his followup film US (which I still have yet to see).

Now both of his critically-acclaimed tales of terror are available in a handy 4K double feature set from Universal! So if you've held off on buying either film, now's the time to add some Peele to your movie collection!

US Synopsis: From Academy Award-winning visionary Jordan Peele comes another original nightmare. Starring Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o (12 YEARS A SLAVE) and Winston Duke (BLACK PANTHER), an endearing American family is pitted against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

GET OUT Synopsis: When Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a young African-American man, visits his white girlfriend's (Allison Williams) family estate, he becomes ensnared in the more sinister, real reason for the invitation. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. This speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of THE VISIT, the INSIDIOUS series, and THE GIFT) and the mind of Jordan Peele (Key & Peele, KEANU) is equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary.

Three Unlikely Heroes Protect Schoolchildren from the Ravenous Undead in LITTLE MONSTERS!


Lupita Nyong'o character poster for LITTLE MONSTERS (2019)!
NEW HORROR-COMEDY "LITTLE MONSTERS" COMES TO SELECT THEATERS ON OCTOBER 8TH - STREAMS EXCLUSIVELY ON HULU ON OCTOBER 11TH!

I recall seeing the first trailer for LITTLE MONSTERS a while back and thinking "this looks fun!" And then I lost track of the movie, and failed to give it a second thought.... UNTIL TODAY! Thankfully some genius PR-rep sent me an e-mail reminder so I won't miss out on this new Horror-Comedy! Unfortunately LITTLE MONSTERS is not playing theatrically in my neck of the woods on October 8th (you can check HERE to see if there's a screening near you!), so I'll just have to check it out next week on Hulu!

Synopsis: Dave (ALEXANDER ENGLAND), a washed-up musician, volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten field trip after taking a shine to the plucky schoolteacher, Miss Caroline (LUPITA NYONG’O). Dave’s intentions are complicated by the presence of world-famous child entertainer and competitor for Miss Caroline’s affections, Teddy McGiggle (JOSH GAD). One thing none of them bargained for, however, is a sudden zombie outbreak, from which Dave and Miss Caroline must protect the children.

Stills & Trailer:

LITTLE MONSTERS will play theatrically ONE NIGHT ONLY on October 8th (again go HERE to see if it's playing near you) and then debuts on Hulu's streaming service on October 11th. There's no word yet on a physical media release, but I'd be very surprised if this movie didn't come to DVD & Blu-ray in the near future!
