Fear Flashbacks! – Six years ago, US had everyone seeing double

Released six years ago this week in 2019, Jordan Peele’s US was a creative, though somewhat divisive, entry in the psychological horror sweepstakes. Bolstered by Peele’s newfound fame from his critically-acclaimed 2017 thriller, GET OUT, US was able to score more than a quarter billion dollars in worldwide box office receipts.

Today, we have an interesting piece of promo for the film. Taking a 180-degree turn from the widely-known and emotionally-charged theatrical poster, it’s a rather unassuming shot for what was intended as a horror film. US seemed to usher in Peele’s now standard use of mysterious marketing materials, which exploded with the release of his following picture, NOPE, in 2022.
