If you saw Jordan Peele trending on Twitter, it's not what you think.

A trailer for the movie Karen, from writer and director Coke Daniels, is giving the internet strong Diet Get Out vibes that have Peele trending for creating such an incredible movie that others try to recreate to this day.

Karen is about the titular entitled racist (Taryn Manning) who makes it her mission to drive out the Black couple that moves in next door (Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke). The trailer is a crash course in headline-making racism with subtlety to spare (again, it's called Karen), all packaged into the kind of horror film many Americans don't need help imagining.

Karen does not yet have a release date but was just picked up for distribution. You can rent or buy Get Out wherever you rent movies online.
