June 12th 2024.
Nicolas Cage, one of Hollywood's most prolific actors, has once again captivated audiences with his latest film. This time, Cage takes on the role of a chilling serial killer in the upcoming horror movie, Longlegs, which has left critics both delighted and shocked.
The film, directed and written by Osgood Perkins, has been receiving rave reviews, with some even calling it a masterpiece. It currently holds a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, impressing every single one of its viewers thus far.
In Longlegs, Cage's character is being pursued by FBI agent Lee Harker, played by Blair Underwood. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must act quickly to end his terrifying killing spree. Alongside Cage and Underwood, the film also features Alicia Witt and Kiernan Shipka, known for her role in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, as the only known survivor of Longlegs.
The film is set to be released in the US in July, just in time for a summer scarefest. Unfortunately, UK viewers will have to be a bit more patient as a release date for the Neon horror has yet to be announced.
But based on the early reviews, it seems fans of horror will not be disappointed. Slashfilm has even declared Longlegs as the most terrifying horror movie of 2024, one that will stay with you long after you've left the theater. Bloody Disgusting also praised the film for its ability to immerse viewers in the repulsive and discomforting nature of evil.
Critics have dubbed Longlegs as the scariest film of the decade, with some even calling it an "unholy, horrifying confluence of high art and anxiety." It's a "freak-fest" that feels like it was forged in Hell itself, according to Fresh Fiction's Courtney Howard.
In the film's trailer, Cage's character is kept mostly in the shadows, with only brief glimpses of his altered appearance and creepy narration. It's clear that he is a force to be reckoned with, as he tells Harker, "I know that you're not afraid of a little bit of dark - because you are the dark." He also ominously warns her that he'll be waiting for her.
Longlegs is just one of many horror films in Cage's impressive career, which includes other notable titles such as The Wicker Man, Vampire's Kiss, and Mandy. And it seems that horror runs in the family, as director Osgood Perkins is the son of Anthony Perkins, who famously played Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
With such a strong pedigree behind it, Longlegs is sure to be a must-see for horror fans. And for those who can't handle a good scare, well, you've been warned. Longlegs is set to be released in the US on July 12, with a UK release date yet to be announced. So mark your calendars and get ready to be terrified.
