HIM, produced by the Oscar winner and directed by Justin Tipping, is a chilling descent into fame, football, and obsession
The first trailer has dropped for HIM, the latest psychological horror film from Oscar winner Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Nope) and Monkeypaw Productions — and it's sending shivers down the spine of sports and horror fans alike.
Starring Marlon Wayans in a chilling dramatic turn, HIM follows rising football star Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers, Atlanta), a gifted quarterback with his sights set on greatness. But when a violent encounter with an obsessed fan leaves him with traumatic brain injury, Cam's dreams are all but shattered. Enter Isaiah White (Wayans), an eight-time championship legend and Cam's childhood idol, who offers him a second chance — at a price.
Isolated at Isaiah's mysterious, high-tech compound alongside his glamorous influencer wife, Elsie (Julia Fox, Uncut Gems), Cam's rehabilitation quickly spirals into something darker. As the mentorship turns sinister, Cam is forced to question the very identity he's sacrificed everything to build.
Directed by Justin Tipping (Kicks) from a Black List script by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (Limetown), HIM blurs the lines between ambition and manipulation, asking: how far would you go to become the best?
The film boasts a unique supporting cast that includes comedy icons Tim Heidecker and Jim Jefferies, as well as feature film debuts from MMA fighter Maurice Greene and musicians Guapdad 4000 and Grammy-nominated Tierra Whack.
Produced by Ian Cooper, Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and Jamal M. Watson, HIM promises an intense, genre-bending experience that explores the toxic underbelly of fame and hero worship — all with Peele's signature psychological dread.
HIM is set to terrify audiences later this year. Watch the trailer now and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about greatness.
