We now know the plot and we’ve seen the trailer, but we still know very little about Jordan Peele‘s next horror movie Us, which looks to be a home invasion film centered on creepy doppelgangers known as “The Tethered.” Peele created his own monster and monster mythology for the film, and we can be pretty sure it’s all going to go to some very wild places.

What may give us more of an idea of what we can expect from Us, before it arrives in theaters early next year, is a list of 10 horror films that Peele had his star watch before filming began. Peele revealed the list in a chat with EW, letting the site know that he assigned Lupita Nyong’o with watching everything from The Shining to Martyrs.

To develop a “shared language” with the actress, the list included…

• Dead Again
• The Shining
• The Babadook
• It Follows
• A Tale of Two Sisters
• The Birds
• Funny Games
• Martyrs
• Let the Right One In
• The Sixth Sense

Set in present day along the iconic Northern California coastline, Us, from Monkeypaw Productions, stars Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband, Gabe (Black Panther’s Winston Duke), and their two children (Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex) for an idyllic summer getaway.

Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family.

After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers (Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon, Noelle Sheldon), Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. Us pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.

Universal has dated Us for March 15, 2019.
