Racial tensions and horror combine in Jordan Peele's thriller 'Get Out'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The trailer for Jordan Peele's new film, Get Out, combines horror with social commentary as a young interracial couple come face-to-face with her family's evil secrets.

Rose, played by Allison Williams, and Chris, played by Daniel Kaluuya, are a young interracial couple who head upstate to spend the weekend with Rose's parents.

At first glance, Missy, played by Catherine Keener, and Dean, played by Bradley Whitford, are kind and accommodating -- though seemingly nervous. Chris initially thinks it's because their daughter is white and he is black, but he soon discovers that there is something else at play.

Get Out, written and directed by Peele, premieres in theaters February 2017.
