The critical acclaim and admiration for Nicolas Cage’s upcoming horror movie Longlegs continues as the film lands a stellar Rotten Tomatoes score.
That’s right, Longlegs has debuted to a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, proving the overwhelmingly positive first reactions true. Although the movie has not yet been released to the public, it has had many private screenings, and those who have managed to catch it so far have been absolutely blown away by director Oz Perkins’ unsettling creation.
Longlegs is Perkins’ trademark aesthetic at max volume, lingering in your thoughts, under your skin, and in the pit of your stomach well after it’s over,
says Matt Donato from Inverse. Meagan Navarro from Bloody Disgusting adds, Longlegs gets under your skin and stays there, immersing you so thoroughly in the repulsive, discomforting nature of evil.
The Strongest Praise Yet
Others have already crowned it the best movie of not only the year but the past 10 years. EJ Moreno from Flickering Myth describes Longlegs as The pure horror experience we’ve been waiting for. It’s easily the scariest film of the decade.
It’s as if Oz Perkins’ cinematic freak-fest was forged in Hell by Satan, who brought it as an artifact into our world as a gift,
sums up Courtney Howard from Fresh Fiction.
A Disturbing Plot With an Impressive Cast
Starring Nicolas Cage as the most unhinged serial killer, Longlegs follows horror hall-of-famer Maika Monroe as new FBI recruit Lee Harker who, in Silence of the Lambs-esque fashion, gets assigned to an unsolved murder case as her first task. But things take an unexpected turn when the agent discovers a personal connection to the case, prompting her to quickly solve a series of occult clues to end a violent killing spree.
A Strong Director Leading a Talented Cast
Written and directed by Oz Perkins of The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel, Longlegs stars Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe alongside Alicia Witt, Blair Underwood, and Dakota Daulby.
A Chilling Performance by Cage and Monroe
Nicolas Cage delivers some truly intense moments with his portrayal of a deranged serial killer. Maika Monroe discovers occult clues unraveling eerie evidence and reinforcing the chilling atmosphere. The film captures these uneasiness brilliantly.
A Highly Anticipated Release
Longlegs hits theaters on July 12 in the US. The movie does not yet have a UK release date at this time.
