A young girl becomes possessed by the devil and causes several violent deaths before she can be cured.
These dark and imaginative tales feature an odd and subtly linked world of bizarre venereal diseases, a creepy old woman who feasts on raw meat, a man obsessed with a skin model from a magazine, and a story within a story about ghosts.
Jordan Peele's powerful thriller Get Out debuted in 2017 to enormous public and critical acclaim, a “Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?” for the age of Obama and Trump that scared audiences and skewered white liberal pieties at the same time. Rather than rely on popular archetypes, Peele weaves together the material realities and daily manifestations of horror with sociopolitical fears and elements of true suspense, and combines them with pitch-perfect satire and a timely cultural critique. This companion paperback to the film presents Peele's Oscar-winning screenplay alongside supplementary material.
As the daughter of a rancher in 1840s Mexico, Nena knows a thing or two about monsters—her home has long been threatened by tensions with Anglo settlers from the north. But something more sinister lurks near the ranch at night, something that drains men of their blood and leaves them for dead. Something that once attacked Nena nine years ago. Believing Nena dead, Néstor has been on the run from his grief ever since. When the United States attacks Mexico in 1846, they’re reunited on the road to war. But their reunion is quickly overshadowed by the appearance of a nightmare made flesh—and unless they work through their past, neither will survive to see the dawn.
