Critically acclaimed writer-director Jordan Peele just released a new UFO horror-thriller titled "Nope."

It's about two siblings trying to capture on camera what looks like a UFO wreaking havoc around their California horse ranch.

"Nope" is Peele's third film.

Oscar-winning "Get Out," "Us" and now "Nope" have all gotten rave reviews from critics.

And according to Universal Pictures, "Nope" took the No. 1 spot at the box office in North America this weekend with an estimated $44 million in ticket sales.

Vox senior culture reporter Alissa Wilkinson joined Newsy's Lindsay Tuchman to discuss "Nope" and Peele's impact on the horror genre.
