WATCH: Trailer released for new horror movie from the producers of Us and Get Out

Rudi Kinsella

Antebellum

If it’s anything like the other two movies it’s going to be an absolute hit.

Remember when $4.5 million budgeted thriller Get Out went on to make over $255 million worldwide, and bag a Best Original Screenplay Oscar and nominations for the Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in the process?

And then Us came out a few years later and was also a resounding success, with Oscar buzz surrounding Lupita Nyong’o’s breathtaking (excuse the pun) performance?

Well, two movies with this level of success and reputation will naturally mean that whenever a movie from the same team is released, people are going to be fairly excited.

Enter Antebellum.

Starring the brilliant Janelle Monáe, Antebellum is a creepy-looking horror movie that we really don’t know all that much about.

It seems to take place in two different time periods: the present day and the pre-American Civil War period, and plays host to a whole load of creepy horror movie imagery.

Naturally, there’s a scary-looking little girl who does the classic ‘shh’ motion, and that’s enough to unsettle us.

Plus the trailer alone has us buzzing/terrified for the release.

And if that hasn’t freaked you out yet, the movie’s poster is suitably creepy too:

Starring Janelle Monáe, Marque Richardson II, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, Gabourey Sidibe, Rob Aramayo and Lily Cowles, Antebellum will arrive in Irish cinemas at some point in April of 2020.
