A feature film dealing with the state of race in America is topical, but that it's a psychological thriller from the mind of comedian Jordan Peele is not only surprising, but terrifying.
Peele's directorial debut follows an interracial couple visiting the girlfriend's extremely white suburban town, where a little casual racism looks to be the least of his problems.
Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is nervous to meet Rose's (Allison Williams) family, and what starts out teasing a Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? scenario takes a swift turn toward terror.
Chris arrives to find that Rose's family employs two black caretakers who appear to be under Rose's mother's hypnosis (if they aren't, you know, ghosts). Black men disappear in this town, and it probably has a lot to do with the surgical instruments and mind experiments flashing by in the trailer, set to screeching spurts of horror movie music.
Anyway, here's a gif of Keanu to calm your nerves after you watch it (he looks nervous too):
