‘Nope’ Bonus Feature Shows Shocking Sequence Without CGI! [Exclusive]
Jordan Peele‘s sci-fi horror extravaganza Nope is making its way to Digital HD tomorrow, September 20, and Bloody Disgusting has a really cool exclusive look at one of the extras, which we should warn is extremely spoilery.
In one of the backstories, a beloved sitcom ape is triggered, sending it on a violent murder spree, killing both stars and members of the studio audience. It’s revealed in this clip that the monkey was played by actor Terry Notary, who is seen acting out the sequence without any CGI covering him!
Watch the bonus feature below and read on for home video release details.
In the film…
“Following their father’s shocking death, Hollywood animal wrangler OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) begin observing unexplained phenomena on their vast Southern California ranch that leads them down an obsessive rabbit hole as they plot attempts to capture the mystery on camera.

Meagan Navarro was a huge fan of the film, writing in her review that “Jordan Peele takes on the summer blockbuster with soaring spectacle and scathing subtext.”
“Peele’s latest retools the summer blockbuster, nestling a fascinating indictment beneath accessible crowd-pleasing thrills,” Meagan’s 4-star rave review continues.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
