JordanPeele's third film, Nope, continues his trend of delivering thought-provoking horror, this time in a cinematic feature filled with great performances.
The horror genre is in a great place these days, and Nope director Jordan Peele has a lot to do with that success.
Written and directed by Peele, Nope casts Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings OJ and Emerald Haywood, respectively, descendants of the jockey depicted in the 1878 short film The Horse in Motion, regarded as one of the earliest examples of a motion picture. The Haywoods now manage a ranch where they train horses to appear in films, but after their father is mysteriously killed by debris falling from an aircraft, the ranch falls into debt.
Palmer also delivers a memorable performance in Nope, portraying OJ’s flakey-but-loyal sister who sees opportunity in every obstacle and pushes OJ out of his comfort zone. Her character’s from-the-start fearlessness is something we don’t often see in films of this ilk , and it fills every creepy encounter with potential, as you’re never quite certain how she’ll react or in which unexpected direction she’ll push herself and her brother.
