Nope

Nope (2022) is Jordan Peele's sci-fi horror you can watch online on iFILM. OJ and Emerald Haywood run a California horse ranch their father left them — until something appears in the sky above the valley that doesn't belong to any known category.

Their father died in a freakish incident months ago. Bills piled up, horses got sold off, and OJ was close to letting the land go. Then he spotted it. Now the siblings want footage — proof, and maybe a payday. Their neighbor Ricky, a former child actor running a roadside theme park, has seen it too. Daniel Kaluuah plays OJ with near-total stillness; Keke Palmer's Emerald runs on a different frequency entirely.

Peele shot on large-format film in the actual Antelope Valley desert, with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema giving the film the feel and scale of a wide-open western. Underneath the spectacle is a sharper argument about who gets to exploit an image — and what happens when the spectacle looks back. Stream Nope (2022) online on iFILM.
