Read my spoiler-free movie review of Nope (2022).
Isn’t it great when a promising trailer from one of your favourite directors lands when you weren’t expecting it?
The director is Jordan Peele and the movie is Nope. A scary but fun-looking horror/mystery/thriller starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun and Barbie Ferreira.
The question going through my mind right now is ‘What kind of terrifying ride, likely involving aliens is this story about to take us on?’ I want to find out. I’m in for the special effects and to discover whether we’ll even get to see the entity causing all the terror.
‘What’s a bad miracle? They got a word for that?‘
I just love the above words and the way Kaluuya’s character delivers them, with that perfectly placed pause in the middle.
Michael Wincott, Donna Mills, Terry Notary, Jennifer Lafleur, Brandon Perea, Sophia Coto, Ryan W. Garcia, Andrew Patrick Ralston and Gloria Cole also star.
Nope Release Dates: July 22nd, 2022 (US)…
Happy Film Loving

Oh Sh*t! That girl’s face freaked me out.
I see exactly what you mean. 🤓 I also noticed the way Keke Palmer’s character moves/runs just before she finds herself lifted into the air. I guess trong winds can cause the body to move strangely.
I feel these are some of the scariest shots! When physical law is defied all of a sudden. Leaving us with a feeling of bewilderment and panic. Like, DOES wind cause the body to move like that???
Exactly! 😁
The first thing I noticed here was the cinematography. I’ve seen this DP before, I thought. Sure enough it’s Hoyte van Hoytema who’s shot many recent Nolan films, “Let The Right One in”, and 007 Spectre (a film arguably best know for its camera work / opening long-take tracking shot)
Thanks for briefly schooling me on Hoytema. 🤓👍 I’m looking forward to taking it all in in July.
Me too. I’m glad you shared the trailer. It was a nice surprise.
My absolute pleasure! 🤓
Why do we have to wait until July to see it???? This clip starts out looking like Tarantino and ends up looking like Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Great job with the references. July does seem far away. Especially since if I recall correctly, we got used to Peele’s releases happening around March April time. I guess we should be glad that we don’t have to wait till Halloween. 😁
🙂 Thanks Gia, and yes!

Am looking forward to this one.
Just over a month to go. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised and delighted. Or just one of the two. 🤞🤓🤞
