Not to give away too many spoilers, but Jordan explained the meaning behind the doppelgänger family. "We are our own worst enemy," he said, "not just as individuals but more importantly as a group, as a family, as a society, as a country, as a world. We are afraid of the shadowy, mysterious 'other' that’s gonna come and kill us and take our jobs and do whatever, but what we’re really afraid of is the thing we’re suppressing: our sin, our guilt, our contribution to our own demise." 

He continued, "No one’s taking responsibility for where we’re at. Owning up, blaming ourselves for our part in the problems of the world is something I’m not seeing."

Jordan also hopes audiences begin to question the preconceived notions they have going into a black horror film. "Scores of people will walk into this movie waiting for the racial commentary, and when it doesn’t come in the form they’re looking for, they’ll be forced to ask themselves: ‘Why did I think a movie with black people had to be about blackness?'" he added. 

And keep an eye out for Easter eggs, because there will be plenty — like those rabbits. 

"Well, you know I wanted to make a movie full of Easter eggs," Jordan said of all the rabbits in the movie. "They’re an animal of duality. They’re adorable but they terrify me at the same time. And they got those scissor-like ears that creep me out."
