Horror movie fans are surely rejoicing that Jordan Peele<\/a><\/strong>‘s highly anticipated second film Us<\/em> has finally arrived. It’s hitting theaters almost exactly two years after Get Out<\/em>, which awarded Peele with an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Chris Washington’s (Daniel Kaluuya<\/strong>) unforgettable weekend at his girlfriend Rose Armitage’s (Allison Williams<\/a><\/strong>) home as well as his journey into and escape from The Sunken Place have been etched into our minds for good after seeing it. <\/p>\n

Us<\/em> had a lot to live up to for Peele fans, and reviews are showing that it surely did just that. It already has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and has been given the stamp of approval<\/a> by a fair share of critics.<\/p>\n

While Us<\/em> may look just as scary as Get Out<\/em>, Peele has some tidbits of information for anyone too afraid to buy a ticket at the theater. <\/p>\n

Peele chatted with E! News at the premiere on Tuesday night and discussed the film as well as why he loved working with its stars Lupita Nyong’o<\/a><\/strong> and Winston Duke<\/strong>. Peele hopes that moviegoers put their apprehension aside when strolling up to the theater because there is some light amid the frightening parts. “I think this is a scarier movie than<\/span> Get Out<\/span><\/em>, but I’m being told that people who don’t like horror movies still like this movie,” he told us. “I think the fun outweighs the scary.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

It may be time to say “get out!” to any horror movie fears for the sake of Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The former Key and Peele<\/em> star said that having Nyong’o and Duke in his newest film has been a “dream.” He explained, “They’re Yale grads, they know how to dig and find levels to their characters that you didn’t know were there. It was a magical collaboration.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like Get Out<\/em> was layered with societal and cultural undertones and lessons, Us<\/em> is no different and he does it that way on purpose. “Any time there’s an Us, there’s a Them, so I’m always going to be pointing my finger at society and what our societal equals are,” Peele told E! News.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Nyong’o has been repping the color red at a number of public appearances related to the film. At the London premiere, for instance, she wore red contact lenses<\/a> that matched her red sequin dress. The hue is very prevalent throughout the film, and she told us on Tuesday that she wants to keep her looks “on-theme.”<\/p>\n

The Black Panther<\/em> actress reciprocated Peele’s praise and called him an “incredible director.” Although the film itself wasn’t scary to make, she explained, “it was a very scary place that I had to go in order to get into my character and stay in it for as long as I did.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Nyong’o said the set was actually very “joyful.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Queer Eye<\/em>‘s Karamo Brown <\/strong>shared his enthusiasm for horror films and reality TV with E! News at the premiere as well. It turns out that the Netflix star is a huge fan of reality shows, especially the Real Housewives<\/em> franchise because he loves “the psychology behind it.”<\/p>\n

“I think a lot of people miss that. These women are really dealing with some real, emotional issues and putting it out there for the world. I think if people could really evaluate what they’re doing, I think people could really grow and have better lives, but sometimes we just get caught up in the drama,” Brown said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There was one Housewife<\/em> in particular that inspired him to do make an addition to his family: Lisa Vanderpump<\/a><\/strong>. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> star is currently ensnared in a situation being dubbed “puppygate”<\/a> and all of it gave Brown the extra push to adopt a puppy himself. He gave E! News the exclusive on this info and joked that his canine’s name is Elizabeth Diane, “but we’re calling her Lizzie.”<\/p>\n

Prepare for her social media intro some time in the very near future.<\/p>\n

Brown, too, applauded Peele for his work and called him “one of the most amazing people of our time” and a “genius.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In case you have any questions about horror movies, Brown may be your go-to because he said he’s seen them all\u2014Jason, Nightmare on Elm Street, It, Saw, etc.\u2014”14 million times.”<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> hits theaters March 22.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
