Peele never gives us a whole lot more information about the alien – and nor does he have to, really. We don’t necessarily need a back story or origin for this creature, although at one point we were hoping for just a little bit more context for why it haunts the valley where the Haywoods live. Some commentators have suggested that the alien is a metaphor for Hollywood itself – eating up and destroying the lives of craftspeople like the Haywoods and actors like Jupe that it has no use for anymore.
The horror at Jupiter’s Claim
In the movie’s most terrifying sequence, we learn that Jupe has been buying horses from the Haywoods, ostensibly for his theme park, but actually using them as bait for the creature. He’s been watching it too, and he wants to make money off it by selling tickets to his park’s amphitheater and luring the thing out of the clouds for people to stare at.
And that’s the problem: during his inaugural “performance,” the alien does indeed come out – and makes “eye” contact with Jupe, his wife, his sons, his staff members, and audience members. It proceeds to gobble them all up – we even see them slowly, agonizingly slide into the thing’s digestive tract for a moment – and then ejects all the stuff it doesn’t like, like clothing, keys, pieces of the amphitheater, a statue of a horse, and more all over the Haywoods’ ranch. Oh yeah, it also showers blood down on their home as well, with OJ trapped in a car outside and Emerald and Angel hiding inside the house.
Ready for its closeup
OJ, Emerald, and Angel devise a plan to capture the alien on film once and for all, and perhaps even injure it by feeding it something it doesn’t like (bunting). But because the electricity goes out every time the creature is near, they can’t figure out how to keep their video cameras running. Enter the extraordinarily-named Antlers Holst, played by a growling, grumpy Michael Wincott. Holst is an award-winning cinematographer the Haywoods met on a shoot earlier in the picture. He learns about their problem and comes out to the ranch with a hand-cranked camera – no electrical parts.
With inflatable tube men set all over the ranch (they both attract the creature and act as a warning that it’s near when their battery shuts down), OJ rides his horse Lucky out into the center of the gulch as well, offering himself as bait. The plan is to get the creature out of the clouds, take footage with Holst’s camera, and then see if they can kill the beast.
But of course the plan goes awry, thanks to a pesky, irritating TMZ reporter in an odd silver helmet who shows up on his motorcycle and rides into the valley. He stirs up the creature and is killed, with Angel, Emerald, and Holst all getting some of it filmed, but Holst still doesn’t get the shot he wants. So he climbs up a hill himself and tries to shoot right up inside the monster’s maw, but becomes lunch as well. Whether he got the perfect shot or not remains unresolved.
