Jordan Peele’s polarizing sports horror film is gaining massive popularity on Netflix.

Director Justin Tipping’s *Him* redefined “bloody fun” when it hit theaters on September 19 last year. Now, nearly a year later, this supernatural horror film is climbing the charts on Netflix’s Top 10.

Clocking in at 96 minutes, this football-themed horror-thriller, produced by Jordan Peele, delivers a powerful experience. Before its theatrical release, Tipping captivated audiences with intense trailers featuring psychedelic visuals and a compelling mystery, hinting at a deep dive into the psychological horrors of football that would leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

The story follows Cameron ‘Cam’ Cade (Tyriq Withers), an up-and-coming football star whose career is jeopardized by a head injury. He finds mentorship under San Antonio Saviors quarterback Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans). After a week of intense training, White must decide if Cam is ready to take the reins as the Savior’s quarterback.

Determined to prove himself, Cam enters a world that tests him like never before, showcasing the extremes of fan obsession, the lengths people will go to achieve their desires, and a level of violence that is both shocking and thought-provoking.

However, *Him*’s conclusion didn’t resonate as strongly as it could have, resulting in a 31 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating that it may not have hit the mark for some viewers upon release.

As for Jordan Peele’s next project, it remains uncertain. Initially set for a Christmas Day 2024 release, the follow-up to *Nope* faced delays due to the 2023 labor strikes, was rescheduled for October 2026, and has since been quietly removed from Universal’s calendar. While the project is still reportedly in development, it lacks a title, plot details, or a release date, making it one of Hollywood’s biggest mysteries—so much so that even frequent collaborator Keke Palmer has humorously expressed her confusion about it.

In the meantime, there’s *Him*. While the film may not have resonated with all moviegoers, it could find a second chance on Netflix. One thing is clear: like all of Peele’s projects, *Him* offers more than just cheap thrills; it provides an experience that will linger in your thoughts long after the credits roll.
