I think many horror fans can agree that Jordan Peele has a knack for the genre after the success of movies like “Get Out” and “Us.” These films have also solidified his ability to make original films that aren’t based on existing books or franchises, but still draw crowds to theaters purely based on his vision. His latest project from 2022, “Nope,” is another visually stunning, cinematic experience that’s now streaming on Netflix.
“Nope” is a dark sci-fi movie that explores humanity’s addiction to capturing and exploiting the extraordinary, often at the expense of nature. Not only was it a commercial success (earning over $170 million worldwide), but it also received widespread critical acclaim. It’s all very much deserved, because “Nope” is a truly unsettling experience that builds a creeping sense of dread throughout its runtime. Plus, it has a truly insane third act that left my jaw on the floor.
