Greatness Demands Sacrifice In The Mysterious Trailer For ‘Him’
by Tito W. James
Produced by Jordan Peele and directed by Justin Tipping, Him follows a promising young football player who joins an isolated compound to train under a dynasty team’s aging quarterback. This appears to be another horror film with sociological satire. In this case, Him appears to be tackling the obsessive nature of peak athleticism, the costs of concussions, and perhaps ‘bro culture’ as a whole. Very much like Peele’s previous horror trilogy of Get Out, Us, and Nope — Him is a punchy, yet ambiguous title that leaves much open to speculation.
“Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for. “
