Universal released today its first official trailer for Jordan Peele’s Us, the eagerly anticipated followup to his Oscar-winning directorial debut Get Out. The film pits a family of four against monstrous doppelgängers during a home invasion of their beachside home in Northern California.

After stumbling with Pacific Rim and Crimson Peak, Guillermo del Toro’s tuby ass was booted to the curb by Summit Entertainment when it decided to reboot the Hellboy franchise, crushing del Toro’s hopes of completing his Hellboy trilogy — which includes the 2004 original and its 2008 sequel The Golden Army.

The film is rated R, which is all we need to be on board — that and those awesome horns!
