Him: Peele's Twisted Sports Horror

0:00It's April 19. This is Entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Netflix just dropped one of Jordan Peele's latest horror flicks from Universal Pictures. A 2025 release called him. It's led by Marlon Wands and packs a cast with Tereek Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heideker, and more. The supernatural thriller follows a quarterback-facing career-ending trauma, who gets pulled into a dark training setup with his idol. Earlier this week, the movie hits streaming after a quiet theatrical run. It barely cleared its budget, pulling in $28 million against a $27 million cost. Directed by Justin Tipping, with a script from the Lime Town creators, it's got that monkey-paw productions edge from Peele and his team. Critics weren't feeling it, giving him just a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes from $2.29 reviews. Audiences were a bit kinder at 56% on the popcorn meter, but the split shows how divisive this one landed. Now streaming fresh on Netflix, it's pulling eyes despite the buzz, or lack of it.

1:05Production highlights include sharp cinematography from Kira Kelly and a haunting score by the Hacksang Cloak. If you're into Twisted Sports horror vibes, fire it up and see why Peele's touch keeps things unpredictable.
