Jordan Peele “forced” Lupita Nonyg’o to watch these 10 horror movies before making “Noi”

Jordan Peele decided in 2017 to revamp horror cinema by combining the genre with social criticism in “Let me out”, a brand he has maintained in his next two films: “Nosotros” and “NOP”. With such a short resume, it’s still early days to give the director the title of master of horror, but he sure knows what he’s doing and with Halloween just around the corner, Actress Lupita Nyong’o shared on Instagram the 10 films Peele showed her before starting to shoot ‘Noi’. The list includes from the classics we might expect to more modern or unknown titles, and we’ll tell you where you can see them in case you don’t have a plan for this Halloween night yet.

The publication begins with one of the most classic classics, ‘The Birds’ by Alfred Hitchcock, which you can see in Spain on Filmin. Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ follows, available on HBO max and Movistar Plus +; and “Morir still”, which is not included in any streaming catalog, but you can rent or buy on Rakuten TV, Apple TV or Amazon Prime Video. This film is directed and starring Kenneth Branagh and is about a private investigator from Los Angeles who, with the help of a journalist and a powerful drug dealer, tries to help a woman with amnesia who cannot stop dreaming. the murder of a pianist. The cast is completed by Emma Thompson, Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi and Robin Williams and is from 1991.

In fourth position ‘The Sixth Sense’ by M. Night Shyamalan, which you can watch as many times as you want trying to find the flaws in the script that he does not have on Disney Plus; and in the middle of the list we find ‘Two Sisters’ by Kim Jee-woon, that I would like you to go see the cinema in 2004, because it is not on any platform.

remakes and originals

Peele also proposes to see “Funny Games” and curiously Nonyg’o posts the poster of the 2008 remake with Naomi Watts which was made by Michael Haneke himself. This version can be rented or purchased on Apple TV, Rakuten TV, Amazon Prime and Google Play, but unfortunately the original, the 1997 “Funny Games”, nobody owns it. With the next ‘Let Me In’, opt for the original, the Swedish film by Tomas Alfredson. This belongs to the fixed catalog of Filmin and Prime Video (Matt Reeves ‘Let Me In’ is for rent or purchase only).

“Martyrs” is a French cult film that sadly is not available to stream in Spain, and neither is its 2016 remake. Crossing the pond back to the US, “It Follows” made us suffer a lot in 2014 with that force. supernatural haunting Maika Monroe after having a casual sexual encounter. If you want to repeat the bad time, Prime Video and Flix Olé are your platforms.

To stop having nightmares the list ends with ‘Babadook’ (on Filmin, Prime Video and Rakuten TV), the only one of 10 directed by a woman, Jennifer Kent. If you haven’t seen it, this tells the story of a single mother who, along with her son, falls into a deep pit of paranoia when a monster manifests in their home.
