I don’t want to hear anyone say “I don’t like horror movies” when thinking about sliding into a cool movie theater to experience (yes, experience) JordanPeele’s newest masterpiece “Nope,”...
The interesting thing about jumping into horror is that we, the collective we, seem to enjoy tapping into our fears. And the closer to the “truth” the experience, it seems, the better the scare. So, it’s safe to say that most of us are afraid of UFOs, with a large section of the global population believing that they have been “hiding in plain sight” for millions of years, if not longer.
This has been a family business for generations, making their money renting out horses to the entertainment industry, with the Haywoods serving as on-set wranglers and horse whisperers. But OJ isn’t interested in keeping the family business alive and wants to sell it. More signs appear with each one growing weirder: a cloud that doesn’t move and has not budged in weeks; winds that act like devastating, fast-moving tornados; and, finally, a dark object that glides and moves through the air like nothing we’ve seen on this earth.
Now, what makes “Nope,” Peele’s third feature, such a stand-out film: to begin, it sets a seductive mood that makes you feel a sense of unease and unrest, with the gifted director luring us into the quirky lives of OJ and Emerald and highlighting the fact that their business, Haywood’s Hollywood Horses, is a source of racial pride.
What’s humorous is that the flying saucer looks like a big sand dollar, with a hungry intention. Naturally, OJ and Emerald decide to photograph it and sell this evidence to the highest media buyer possible, even toying with adding Oprah to the list. But their plan needs help, and they engage cinematographer Antlers Holst to help capture everything happening on their property.
