NEON, the visionary distributor behind hits like Parasite and Infinity Pool, is orchestrating a chilling viral campaign for their upcoming horror film, Longlegs, dropping cryptic clues like breadcrumbs.
Descend into a world of occult chills and unnerving family secrets with Longlegs, the latest cinematic offering from horror maestro Oz Perkins. Following his films like The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Perkins teases a new film shrouded in mystery, suspense, and cryptic symbols.
Teasers that Haunt and Intrigue
Three unsettling teasers have already emerged, each offering tantalizing glimpses into the film’s unsettling atmosphere. The first two play with unnerving audio and flickering symbols, while the third plunges us into the final moments of a priest’s life before a suspected occult encounter. The closing shot of an FBI agent gazing at a wall of these enigmatic symbols, accompanied by haunting vocals (possibly courtesy of Nicolas Cage himself), leaves viewers desperate for answers.
A Story Rooted in Darkness and Family Ties
Nicolas Cage steps into the chilling role of a serial killer under the investigative spotlight of a tenacious new FBI agent, Lee (played by It Follows star Maika Monroe). As Lee delves deeper into the killer’s disturbing patterns, she uncovers a web of darkness extending beyond the realm of the physical. Occult elements creep in, hinting at a deeper connection between the killer and Lee herself.
Fans Deciphering the Code
With each cryptic teaser, Longlegs has woven a spell of internet intrigue. Eagle-eyed fans have dedicated themselves to deciphering the symbols displayed throughout the clips, their theories and speculations fueling the hype surrounding the film. The production company Neon has masterfully played with the reveal, tantalizing viewers with glimpses but holding onto the true nature of the film’s secrets.
A Date with the Unknown
While Longlegs doesn’t boast an exact release date yet, it’s expected to premiere later this year. This Friday might finally unveil the full scope of the film’s mysteries or offer another enigmatic teaser to keep the speculation churning. Regardless, one thing is certain: Longlegs promises a chilling descent into the darkness, where family secrets collide with the unfathomable, with Oz Perkins at the helm, expertly guiding us through the shadows.
