The latest horror movie to hit the big screen is Longlegs, featuring Nicolas Cage as the satanic serial killer. The film, directed by Osgood Perkins, centers around Cage’s character, who is being hunted down by FBI Agent Lee Harker, played by Maika Monroe. The film has already received rave reviews, and audiences are thoroughly entertained, and, in some cases, terrified. What may be even more terrifying is Cage’s appearance in the film, frightening enough to cause Monroe’s heart rate to hit 170bpm when she saw him in character for the first time.
The producers of the film were very secretive about Cage’s appearance, only revealing his character during the release of the movie. Other co-stars in the film have mentioned how scared they were of Cage when they first saw him in character, considering his look downright terrifying. Longlegs is a seriously creepy serial killer movie that promises an unforgettable experience for movie-goers.
The film’s original score was composed by Zilgi, aka Elvis Perkins, the brother of the director. The film also makes prominent use of the music of glam rock legends T. Rex. The track “Get It On” plays over the opening credits and offers a quote for Cage’s devilish character. The movie also features two other T. Rex songs, including “Jewel” and “Planet Queen.”
Longlegs has received four-star reviews, with Monroe praised for her performance as Harker, deserving more than to be pigeonholed as a Scream Queen. Cage’s role in the film might just be his most bonkers yet, despite having limited screen time. Witnesses have suggested it is Cage’s portrayal as the serial killer that keeps audiences terrified of the film. Longlegs is a horror movie unlike anything recently released and is a must-see for horror and suspense fans
