Nope’s Alien Explained: What Is The Alien & What Does It Want?

Aliens in Nope take on an unexpected form, adding to the insightful addition to the sci-fi horror genre. Jordan Peele’s movie is a compelling horror ride especially in regards to its mysterious alien UFO monster, and the ambiguous origins and its motivations the creature has. Nope is the third directorial venture in Jordan Peele’s horror movie roster, following the critically acclaimed horror-thriller movies Get Out and Us. Peele’s films are often notable for their underlying social commentaries, with Nope seeing the director break out from his typical horror approach as he comments on the widespread obsession with spectacles, which certainly applies to the unique nature of Nope’s alien.
