“He'll kill.. and kill again.”
Believe the Hype! ... "The full-body, mind-violating horror experience of the year to date. LONGLEGS is a work of chilling brilliance that should electrify genre fans for years to come." Phil de Semlyen, Time Out ... Mit Nicolas Cage, Maika Monroe ("It Follows") u.a.
"If the devil had made "The Silence of the Lambs", it would look like LONGLEGS ...You may have read somewhere that Cage is the craziest, most extreme actor out there. But read this here: You ain’t seen nothing yet." Bob Strauss, San Francisco Chronicle
FBI-Agentin Lee Harker wird mit einem ungelösten Fall eines Serienmörders betraut, der eine unerwartete Wendung nimmt und Beweise für einen okkulten Hintergrund offenbart. Harker entdeckt eine persönliche Verbindung zu dem Mörder und muss ihn aufhalten, bevor er wieder zuschlägt.
"LONGLEGS confidently echoes the likes of "The Silence of the Lambs" and David Fincher's "Zodiac" before spinning off wildly on its own diabolical axis... The film succeeds as a deeply disconcerting experience, one that burrows into the brain as insidiously as the innocuous means its villain employs to disseminate his evil." Neil Smith, Total Film
"The marketing campaign for this film has been incredible. The trailer is proper scary, and they have been smart with avoiding showing Nicolas Cage much in any of the materials. Believe the hype! Cage is utterly demented in the film, and delivers an intense performance as this creepy killer Longlegs. If you are into true crime or procedural thrillers like "Zodiac" or "The Silence of the Lambs", with a healthy dose of early 90s Satanic Panic, we think you will absolutely love this one! There just may be a patented Nick Cage freak-out or two for those Cage Heads out there, with this one being one of his more interesting performances and films since "Mandy"!
Directed by Osgood Perkins (son of "Psycho" star Anthony Perkins), LONGLEGS stars It Follows' Maika Monroe as a gifted new FBI Agent Lee Harker, who is assigned to a unit tracking down an elusive serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage). As the investigation becomes more complicated with occult evidence uncovered, Harker realizes a personal link to the killer and must act quickly to prevent another family murder. Joining in on the hunt is the great supporting cast of Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Dakota Daulby and Kiernan Shipka." Prince Charles Cinema
