Nicolas Cage’s latest movie, Longlegs, has been generating a lot of buzz even before its release. The film, directed by Oz Perkins, features Cage as the titular serial killer, and the hype surrounding his performance has been building up anticipation among horror fans.
The premise of Longlegs follows FBI Agent Lee Harker, played by Maika Monroe, as she delves into an unsolved serial killer case with occult ties. As she uncovers more about the mysterious murderer, named Longlegs, she realizes that her own life might be at risk.
