What kind of watch this is
Jordan Peele’s 2022 thriller treats a cattle ranch in a California gulch as a horror set piece. The Haywood family, played by Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, works the land while the sky does something wrong. It is 130 minutes of dread that refuses to explain itself until the very end. The tension comes from watching people ignore the obvious because admitting it is too terrifying. It is a film about the danger of looking up, which is a fair warning for anyone who dislikes surprises.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports an 82% Tomatometer score, while Metacritic assigns a 77 out of 100 Metascore. The consensus calls the film admirable for its originality, even when its reach exceeds its grasp. A. O. Scott of The New York Times praised its "impeccably managed suspense" and "all-around weirdness." Richard Roeper of The Chicago Sun-Times called it "an exhilarating piece of cinema." The reviews generally agree that the movie is a bold spectacle, though some note the satire can be acidic. It is a film that knows exactly how big it wants to be, and mostly succeeds in being that big.
How it did with audiences
$68 million in, $136 million out. The math works, which is the whole point of making a movie. In the United States, it pulled in $115 million, with $5 million coming from the United Kingdom. On TMDB, users rate it 6.8 out of 10. That score sits comfortably in the middle, suggesting people watched it, thought about it, and decided it was fine.
What came next for the cast
Keke Palmer moved from Hustlers and Scream Queens to a cluster of 2025 projects, including Good Fortune and The Pickup. Brandon Perea stepped out of The OA into Twisters and Insidious: Out of the Further. One pivoted toward volume, the other toward genre variety. The timeline suggests momentum, not causation. Correlation is a trap; careers are messy.
