The film world’s buzzing over “HIM“, a wild new genre mash-up produced by Jordan Peele and backed by Universal. This upcoming movie blends the intensity of football with the chills of horror—and the trailer has everyone talking.
“HIM” Premise
At the center is a rising quarterback, played by Tyriq Withers, whose promising career takes a dark turn. After a brutal injury sidelines him, he’s approached by a legendary but aging player (Marlon Wayans), who invites him to a secluded training camp. There, he begins to uncover the disturbing path his mentor took to reach greatness—one built on sacrifice, obsession, and something far more sinister.
This isn’t your typical underdog story. “HIM” dives into the cost of success and how chasing glory can lead people to terrifying extremes. It’s a gritty mix of ambition, manipulation, and psychological horror.
The teaser, which just dropped, starts with classic sports movie vibes but quickly spirals into something far more haunting—isolated compounds, punishing workouts, and eerie flashes of the supernatural. It’s equal parts thrilling and unsettling.
Team Behind “HIM”
Directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Peele, the film is packed with talent, including Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Tierra Whack, and Guapdad 4000. Expect strong performances and genre-bending storytelling.
Jordan Peele has made a name for himself by blending horror with social commentary. “HIM” looks like another bold move—one that challenges both sports tropes and horror conventions.
“HIM” hits theaters on September 19, 2025. With a unique premise and a buzzworthy cast, this could be one of the year’s most talked-about releases.
