If you are looking for movies to watch for next Halloween, Jordan Peele could make your wish come true. We already know this when Jordan Peele made the scary movie WE, was inspired by his own fear of doubles . However, the Oscar-winning director had other sources of inspiration. WE Star Lupita Nyong’o shared the movies Peele asked her to watch to prepare for her role, and now our Halloween list is complete.
Every horror film director needs inspiration when shooting and why not take inspiration from the best horror movie classics? Lupita Nyong’o, who played a woman named Adelaide on vacation with her family, only to be confronted with lookalikes, shared on instagram a video of the 10 movies Jordan Peele told him to watch to prepare for the role.
The first film Nyong’o mentioned was that of Alfred Hitchcock. Birds, which tells the story of a woman who, after buying a pair of lovebirds for a lawyer she knows, wreaks havoc when a flock of crows in a pretty town goes mad. In an interview with ME! information Peele said he was inspired by Birds due to the idea that the terror happens in a normal area, just like Adelaide and her family didn’t expect any problems to occur during their Santa Cruz waterfront vacation.
The second film shared by Nyong’o was the splendor, the story of an author who becomes the keeper of the Overlook Hotel and falls into madness. As Adelaide’s impersonator stares straight into the camera as we see how her madness has escalated, Jack Nicholson’s character does the same to make the audience uncomfortable. A brilliant detail you may have missed WE was that Adelaide’s friend’s twin daughters are put together in the same way that the creepy Grady sisters were in Stephen King’s adaptation, along with Adelaide’s husband, Gabe, who uses a baseball bat as a weapon in the same way in which the character of Shelley Duvall did in the splendor.
another movie on black Panther the actress mentioned was dead again, about a private investigator trying to solve the mystery of an amnesic woman who shows up at the doors of an orphanage. Traces of this mysterious thriller can be found in WE, in which Adelaide has a mysterious past that ends up having to do with the appearance of a double.

Now we can understand where WE he had his terror. Lupita Nyong’o’s hoarse voice in the scene was the icing on the cake of this terror.
Leave the one on the right inside IS Dusk It looks like a children’s film with the story of a human who falls in love with a vampire who is always looking for blood. This Swedish film and WE they both have in common how far people will go to make a real connection, like how Adelaide and her creepy doppelganger have a connection, whether they like it or not.

To follow allowed writer / director David Robert Mitchell’s imagination to go wild on a woman followed by a dark entity after a sexual encounter, just as Adelaide was followed by her doppelganger around every corner. Last but not least, the babadoo offered the audience a recognizable experience in a world filled with horror about the pain of a woman who takes the form of a nightmare figure in his attempts to consume her. Jordan Peele wanted the audience to have a recognizable experience while watching WE seeing the evil in you instead of pointing the finger at someone else.
