From Stanley Kubrick to Alfred Hitchcock, Jordan Peele drew inspiration from a lot of sources but one of the most surprising ones is Eddie Murphy.

Eddie Murphy is talking about the difference between how a white family and a black family would react in a haunted house. While talking about the discourse of race within the context of modern horror cinema and horror filmmaking traditions, Peele identified a lamentable lack of representation. That’s one of the best bits of all time. Starring Kaluuya as a young Black man who finds himself in an unsettling labyrinth after deciding to visit his girlfriend’s family, the film is an essential commentary on white liberalism and contemporary racist discourse. Seamlessly transitioning from the world of comedy to horror, Peele might have only directed three features so far, but he has already managed to generate intense debates about his position in the pantheon of great directors. Featuring his star collaborator Daniel Kaluuya alongside Keke Palmer, Nope imagines a bizarre scenario where two siblings encounter an incomprehensible extraterrestrial entity on their ranch in the middle of nowhere.
