Writer-director Osgoode Perkins‘ LONGLEGS has easily emerged as “the” horror movie of 2024; in addition to thrilling audiences thanks to the filmmaker’s commitment to the genre and bravura performances from Maika Monore and Nicolas Cage, the Vancouver-shot film has become the highest grossing independent film of the year.
The film follows an FBI agent (Monroe) in pursuit of a serial killer (Cage), who uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree. With Alicia Witt, Kiernan Shipka, Blair Underwood.
“Longlegs isn’t breaking new ground. It is, however, intent on tilling that cursed earth in the name of its own rotten harvest.” (Rolling Stone)
“It’s a true sight to behold, but take care to not look too long. No matter how tightly you try to cling to sanity, one truth remains in “Longlegs”: We all go a little mad sometimes.” (Seattle Times)
“Part of what makes the film so effective is that it doesn’t really depend on secrets or surprises. The writer and director Osgood Perkins summons an atmosphere of dread so intense, it’s practically spoiler-proof.” (NPR)
“The entire addictive film, written and directed by Oz Perkins, is one of the best horror movies of the past several years.” (New York Post)
“Connecting all the dots has never been Perkins’ aim as a filmmaker. He wants to create dark worlds that swallow viewers whole and make them feel they’ve been infected by something horrible, unknowable and unstoppable. Longlegs wickedly achieves that goal.” (Toronto Star)
