Longlegs: the mysterious horror film of the summer

As the film approaches its July 10 release Long legs directed by Osgood Perkins is arousing growing interest among fans of the genre, especially thanks to an intense promotional campaign orchestrated by the American distributor NEON. Through cryptic teasers, a terrifying trailerand half a dozen posters, NEON has cleverly cultivated a mystery around the film.

The plot of the feature film carried out by Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage immerses us in a chilling investigation led by Lee Harker (Monroe), a brilliant young FBI agent, assigned to an unsolved serial killer case. While the investigation becomes more complex and occult evidence is discovered, Harker discovers a personal connection to the ruthless killer and must act quickly to prevent another massacre.

Excellent first reviews

Long legs was screened a few days ago for American journalists specializing in genre films. Following this projection, the first reviews were published on the social network, and they only add to the excitement surrounding this mysterious film! Here are some:

“Buckle up, because ‘Longlegs’ is serious business. An unhealthy, cursed atmosphere that made me hesitant to go back to my hotel room alone. Maika Monroe is captivating and Nicolas Cage is nightmarish. Osgood Perkins is at its peak. For me, it’s a modern day “The Silence of the Lambs.”

I had the great fortune of seeing ‘Longlegs’ and, frankly, it might just be the best horror film of 2024. Oz Perkins has a unique talent for creating an oppressive atmosphere; It’s definitely his magnum opus. Monroe is sublime in an unusual leading role, and Cage? Creeping. The first ten minutes might be the scariest I’ve ever seen.”

“LONGLEGS (2024): Amazing. Oz Perkins has concocted an investigative thriller of exceptional darkness and malice. It is a cruel and powerful film that continues to haunt your thoughts and stir you long after the end. This is Perkins’ best film until now. “

“‘Longlegs’ is much more disturbing and disturbing than I expected. It gives its audience no respite. Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage are extraordinary, but it’s Alicia Witt who really stands out. Osgood Perkins never disappoints, and I can assure you that it doesn’t you’re ready for what he has in store for you.”

“LONGLEGS: A hypnotic horror film that completely captures the viewer’s attention. Captivating and seductive, the film thrills to the core. Oz Perkins excels; with a cast that includes Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe at the top of their game LONGLEGS is without easily one of the most memorable films of 2024. A (not so) holy hell!”

“I’ve never seen anything like it… It’s truly one of a kind and reminds me of the feel of ‘Sinister’ – a great compliment considering it’s one of my favorite films.”
