‘Longlegs‘ is the new film by the director Osgood Perkinswho has managed to build a tense and chilling experience under the brilliant performances of Nicholas Cage and Maika Monroe.
It tells the story of FBI agent Lee Parker (Maika Monroeis assigned to the case of a serial killer named Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), who kills families of girls whose birthday falls on the 14th of any month. However, all the murders share a peculiar characteristic: they give the impression that no one was home.
If it weren’t for a letter left by the perpetrator, they would all have been dismissed as murder/suicides. How do you fight a murder/suicide? criminal invisible? What evil forces protect him to kill from a distance?
The serial killer, with his powdered face and hair, fragile temperament and high-pitched voice, is further disturbing with his childish attitudes, which create a deeply disturbing and suspenseful atmosphere.
Nicholas Cage looks unrecognizable and disturbing as Longlegs; has the exact amount of screen time to get under the audience’s skin without taking away the mysticism. From the first seconds to his last appearance on screen, his villain is worthy of entering the hall of fame of serial killers of the cinema.
‘Longlegs’ is now available in all cinemas around the world, and it is undoubtedly the movie ideal for the season. Will you dare to watch it? Check out its official trailer here:
