Every time we're feeling just fine to go to sleep, Jordan Peele unleashes another sneak peak at his upcoming film, Us.

Wednesday was no exception, with the Oscar-winning Get Out director casually dropping a frightening new poster for his upcoming thriller featuring Lupita Nyong'o.

Nyong'o plays Adelaide Wilson, whose family is visited by some unexpected and weirdly familiar guests. According to Peele, the film tackles the idea that "we are our own worst enemies."

And, well, this poster takes the idea of duplicity to a pretty frightening place, with Nyong'o lifting off a mask of her own face.

The caption? "Watch yourself."

This pretty unsettling poster follows the release of the film's latest trailer, which dropped during the Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. You can spy both versions of Nyong'o in it.

Good luck going to sleep after watching this:

With this latest release, Peele's now unveiled a total of three posters for Us, with the first appearing in May 2018.

The latest poster for Us arrived in December 2018, along with an ambiguous first trailer, and had fans playing detective over the meaning behind two hands, ominously wielding a pair of golden scissors.

Us arrives March 22.
