‘Longlegs’ Teaser Gives Us Our Best Look Yet at Barely Recognizable Nicolas Cage

NEON has once again dropped a cryptic new teaser video for Longlegs, this time revealing Kiernan Shipka while also giving us a much better look at Nicolas Cage’s villain.

Longlegs heads to theaters on July 12, and it’s been earning rave reviews from seemingly everyone who’s seen it so far. That includes Bloody Disgusting’s own Meagan Navarro, who raved in her 4.5/5 star review that Longlegs “gets under your skin and festers like a nightmare.”

“Nicolas Cage is operating in rare, depraved form,” Meagan’s review continues, delivering his “most unsettling performance yet.” Watch the new teaser below for a fresh sneak peek…

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

Longlegs is said to be “in the vein of classic Hollywood psychological thrillers,” and early reviews have favorably compared the film to the classic ’90s thriller The Silence of the Lambs.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.”

Alicia Witt (“The Walking Dead”) and Blair Underwood (“American Crime Story”) also star.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
