“Horror sports movie?!”—Fans react to the first poster for ‘HIM,’ produced by Jordan Peele

The first HIM poster is here, and we can say that this American psychological horror sports film (yes, you read that correctly) is already playing games with our minds. Directed by Justin Tipping and made by Jordan Peele, HIM features Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers in what's been billed as a horror film "filtered through an old spaghetti Western lens."

So, if you ever thought, "Hey, I wish Get Out were playing a game of hoops on the barren frontier while The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly theme played loudly in the distance" - well, congratulations, your bizarrely particular desire has come to pass!

As soon as the first poster of HIM was revealed, someone took to their X account and commented:

"Horror sports movie?!"

A horror sports movie is certainly a concept to behold - because let's be real, the scariest thing in sports is normally a missed free throw with seconds left on the clock. But HIM is going to a whole different level, mixing up some fast breaks with all-out terror.

Picture yourself running down the court, only to discover the defender in front of you is not only defending. They may not even be human. It's a game where the shot clock is not the only thing ticking away - and believe me, you don't want to know what happens during overtime.

The internet is already losing its mind about HIM, and frankly, who can blame them? A horror sports film with a spaghetti Western feel? That's the kind of cinematic mayhem we live for.

Fans are running around trying to determine whether they should bring popcorn or a playbook to the theater, and the reactions are nothing short of legendary. Let's jump into the craziness and observe how social media is reacting to this complete curveball of a film.

Netizens react to the first poster for HIM, produced by Jordan Peele

Some people are already cracking wise, wondering if the real horror in the movie HIM is a full-court press with no timeouts. Others are asking the important questions - like, does the ghost call traveling, or is it just built differently?

"When I hear descriptions like that it just makes me think wt* rather than oh that'll be cool because wt* does that even mean," a user @Adam01217311369 hilariously commented.

"The sounds AI randomized," another user @Vox_Oculi hilariously commented.

"This is insane," a netizen @BitBullVault sarcastically expressed.

Some people are merely here to say anything that comes into their minds, while others are building entire conspiracy theories for how this film is going to revolutionize cinema. A few are merely vibing—no thoughts, just vibes—and a random emoji for fun:

"He's making a sequel to the 6th Man, lol," a user @FallenAngels798 commented.

""horror sports spaghetti western" .... what lol?," a user @Bluphoenicks1 hilariously commented.

"Bro is making every pronoun movie," a netizen @ayubismo123 sarcastically wrote.

At the end of the day, HIM has already accomplished what all good horror movies do - put the internet in absolute shambles. Whether hyped, confused, or simply here for the memes, there's one certain thing: this movie is going to take us on a crazy ride. So, tie your kicks up, look out for ghosts (or questionable refs), and get set for a horror sports battle royale like never before!
