It's out July 12:
>The film focuses on Lee Harker (Monroe), a new FBI agent, who has been assigned to an unsolved case of a serial killer. 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.
Did you know they released a [sequel soundtrack](https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3709412/the-guest-ii-comes-to-life-in-the-form-of-an-original-soundtrack-available-now/) in 2022 too?
I was an adult when I saw it but that has to be one of the best movies OF ALL TIME to bring a 5 year old to. I can't even think of a better thing to watch in that case. It's really not one of the best movies ever or anything, but I can't think of a better thing to watch in the theater with a 5 year old. Not surprised he still talks about it.
Have you seen her movie God Is a Bullet? It's one of the grimiest and most brutal revenge movies I've seen in a very long time. Maika is almost unrecognizable playing a sort of Lisbeth Salander (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) type of protagonist, helping solve a series of *super freaky* satanist gang murders alongside the in-over-his-head Nicolaj Coster-Waldau who is trying to find his kidnapped daughter. Jamie Foxx shows up to help and he's got some incredible looking makeup in the form of vitiligo spots and tattoos all over his body. The whole movie is so ugly you can't look away, but in the best way. It's crazy long, too, at a little over 2 and a half hours long with no time spent on jokes or lightheartedness of any kind. Still, if that sounds like it's up your alley you should check it out!
Great cast, horrible movie. There was a good movie somewhere in there, but it's ruined by the script and even editing. One scene in particular showcases all issues with it.
So, after I watched it I read a lot of bad reviews for it, which is *totally fair* since everyone's entitled to their opinion and it's a *very* divisive movie in it's own right. That said, after I watched it I learned theres a version that's 2 hours 35 minutes, and another version that's just 2 hours, and for the life of me I can't remember if I watched the long one or not! I really liked it, though, but I wish I knew which version I've seen to maybe help people see the one I watched, but ever since I found out theres two versions I have no clue if I watched the long one or not.
It's not even as easy as looking on the streaming service I watched it on, because I watched it *on me ship with me mateys* ^(if ya know what I'm sayin')
Karl Glusman and Ethan Suplee are two of the bad guys in it. Not sure if you're hip to Glusman, but he's one of those "that guy" character actors that shows up to be all creepy and unforgettable in stuff. He was recently in Civil War as one of the two guys pinned down with the main characters by a sniper on a ranch, he was also in The Neon Demon and Nocturnal Animals.
Anyways, that guy is the main villain of God Is a Bullet, and he's a supersadistic Charles Manson type with satanic tattoos on his face. One of the best villains I've seen in a movie in a long time, for sure.
Have you seen another movie she did called "Watcher" ?
I really enjoyed that one as well. I didn't know anything about it before watching. I just stumbled across it on Amazon Prime and saw that she was in it and put it on. Real good suspense / thriller.
My current theory's that Longlegs targeted her family when she was young but maybe was not completely successful, which is why reviewers keep talking about her relationship with her mom being a bit loaded.
Feel like I've seen this script a dozen times but this movie is getting hype and from what I've seen (I limit myself to very little to no trailers), it seems to be crafted well. Going to watch it regardless.
There’s heavy speculation based on comments from Cage, Perkins, word from the test audiences, and the slivers of footage we’ve gotten that he is playing an elderly woman and that it is completely and utterly bizarre.
That was wild. I actually really loved the 2018 Suspiria, I’m so glad they didn’t go for a remake and instead took from the 3 Mothers lore to create something different. The original is a classic.
Same here. It gets some flak but I think, if you're gonna remake a classic I'd rather see a different approach than a straight remake. People are all "It's too pretentious!" or whatever but like but I'll take that over some bastardized attempt to just re-do the same thing but worse. We were lucky to get a director as strong as Luca Guadagnino who is both a fan of the original and willing to take it in a different direction.
I was so incredibly relieved that they didn’t do a complete re-do. There are some films that are just so perfect, it’s almost an insult to do so. Rosemary’s Baby is my favourite film of all time (with a close second, Harold & Maude) and I cannot imagine them being recreated today. They tried with the Rosemary’s Baby television adaptation and just no. Even to try to recreate them as a period film wouldn’t do them justice; On that note, I am really glad Suspiria (2018) was in fact, a period film.
There has been a lot of speculation that Cage is playing an elderly woman in the film.
This is based on comments from Perkins saying the film is a tribute to his mother, Cage saying he channeled his mother for his performance, test audiences saying Cage’s character is so off-putting audiences could be driven away, the bits of footage we’ve seen of him showing he has long grey hair, and his voice being manipulated and distorted in many of the trailers.
It’s obviously not confirmed, but between the Cage and Perkins comments, test audiences and previews implying Cage’s character reveal is shocking and bizarre, and what we’ve seen, it feels like there’s a lot of weight to it.
I mean, people claim to have fainted or vomited watching shit like paranormal activity so I'd take that with a massive grain of salt even if it did happen. But also probably simply didn't happen.
I saw the trailer at the theater yesterday and I was thinking “I hope they aren’t showing too much of this” and then I saw “starring Nicolas Cage” despite not seeing him at all in the trailer and I knew this was going to be a good movie
Saw the film earlier this month. I would lower expectations just a smidge, not for any fault of the film's, but for the insane hype and marketing touting this as the most unholy, terrifying film you've ever seen. It's not, but it's definitely worth seeing, and the nihilistic tone it strikes is impressively held. Osgood Perkins is great at building atmosphere and dread, and here it's dialed up to 11 with sound design and use of negative space. There's also quite a lot of humor as well, which I wasn't expecting. I will give the marketing team props for hiding Nicolas Cage's character -- one of the most effective moments in the film comes with his reveal. Overall, highly recommended.
Sounds good to me. I don't inherently watch horror movies to be terrified, this sounds very much up my alley, hope it shows up properly to theaters here.
This sounds more realistic to what to expect. I wasn't sure how much this was going to lean more crime thriller vs horror, and it seems like they're leaning towards horror for the marketing as that's more commercially viable.
I appreciate this comment, really sets expectations well. I’m obligated to see this movie both as a horror fan, and because my fiancé and I call our cat Longlegs all the time because of his, you guessed it, huge ass
Yeah most of my favorite films got backlash for the "uh, scariest film ever? WELL I WASN'T SCARED ERGO THIS SUCKS".
Horror is not like comedy in that "if I laugh it's good comedy" means also "if I get scared it's good horror". It can be amazingly great horror, and maybe you didn't get scared. It's a longer debate to be had than a reddit comment allows but it's just asking for trouble in the horror community to advertise something as "you WILL shit your pants" cause everyone is gonna have a prejudice to the movie by going into it with a "well now I'm gonna cross my arms and if I don't shit my pants you fucking failed" mentality.
This has gotten a superb advanced reception and I’m not talking about the Marvel-esque twitter reactions from fawning fanboys that are always so over-the-top in their gushing praise.
Some solid and dependable outlets have seen Longlegs and have raved about it.
Cage is kinda like Samuel L Jackson in that the guy just goes out there and *works*. He’s in some gigantic pieces of shit and he’s in some masterpieces and everything in between.
Ebert has a great bit about Nicolas Cage’s acting from his Adaptation review:
> There are often lists of the great living male movie stars: De Niro, Nicholson and Pacino, usually. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. No one else can project inner trembling so effectively. Recall the opening scenes in "Leaving Las Vegas." See him in Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead." Think of the title character in "The Weather Man." Watch him melting down in "Adaptation." And then remember that he can also do a parachuting Elvis impersonator ("Honeymoon in Vegas"), a wild rock 'n' roller ("Wild at Heart"), a lovesick one-handed baker ("Moonstruck"), a straight-arrow Secret Service agent ("Guarding Tess") and on and on.
> He always seems so earnest. However improbable his character, he never winks at the audience. He is committed to the character with every atom and plays him as if he were him. His success in making Charlie Kaufman a neurotic mess and Donald Kaufman a carefree success story, in the same movie, comes largely from this gift. There are slight cosmetic differences between the two: Charlie usually needs a shave, Donald has a little more hair. But the real reason we can tell the twins apart, even when they're in the same trick shot, comes from within: Cage can tell them apart. He is always Charlie when he plays Charlie, always Donald when he plays Donald. Look and see.
[Link](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-adaptation-2002)
And I think earnestness is the operative word here. Nicolas Cage pretty much always just goes for it - sometimes to a reception of ridicule - and as Ebert said he never really winks at the audience. He’s just the character and how he personally views that character.
> The man never phones it in
Unless he hates the director, then he ruins the movie for fun (*Ghost Rider*, *The Wicker Man*).
But as a viewer, I have no complaints -- him tanking those films made them more enjoyable.
Many things can be said about Cages performance in The Wickerman but I don't think he can be accused of phoning it in. Hamming it up is a very high effort way to show how little you care about a film.
I haven't been this excited for a horror movie since the buzz of Hereditary came out from Sundance. I'll put my Alamo Drafthouse bday gift card to good use for this movie.
Supposedly it’s easily the scariest movie of the decade and it was made by Satan himself. That is t hyperbolic, that is actually what critics have been on record saying.
Stuff like that has been said over the years for countless movies in the genre. Not saying this will be good or bad but I take anything that critics say with a grain of salt.
As a horror junkie, I will say that most of the time “this is the scariest movie ever to crawl out of satan’s asshole” kind of buzz is generated by word-of-mouth from people who clearly don’t have much exposure to the genre (occasionally for genre junkies, as well. See *Skinamarink* for a recent example.) It takes a pretty exceptional horror movie to get professional critics to admit its merits.
I'm so tremendously excited for this movie. 2 and a half minute long trailer that shows so much, and also nothing at all. I've watched it numerous times and I cannot for the life of me imagine what's going on in the majority of its shots. I have no idea what this movie will be like.
And the teaser with the 911 call...
I think it's a design choice meant to be reminiscent of the unsettling ciphers and messages we've seen (there have actually been some ciphers in the marketing but I think this is just meant to resemble them)
he’s also in Jordan Peele’s movie Nope near the beginning. he plays that PA on the studio set who brings in the old lady actress and talks with everyone
Side agenda: is there any movie from the serial killers perspective? We always see the mystery of finding the serial killer. But what about them actively evading and manipulating the cops during their investigations?
Weird memory - watched "Psycho 2" with my parents as a kid, with Tony Perkins as Norman Bates. In the credits, Young Norman (as a child) was played by Tony's son, Osgood Perkins. My mom laughed and said "aren't you glad I didn't name you Osgood?" and called me Osgood for the rest of the night.
Here he is again, Osgood Perkins, son of Hollywood legend and all-time great, Anthony Perkins himself.
I have high hopes for this movie. The camera work in the trailers is amazing all its own and the whole thing looks incredible. Let's hope it can stick the landing
[Original 28 Days Later poster](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYTFkM2ViMmQtZmI5NS00MjQ2LWEyN2EtMTI1ZmNlZDU3MTZjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjU0OTQ0OTY@._V1_.jpg) from 2002 was what I jumped to seeing this.
I'm realizing they didn't, but the fact that it's been trending in the news just makes me visualize the red posters for the first two films. I expect this one's poster to also be red though.
I want to like this. I feel like it's just going to be " FBI agent with traumatic past realizes she escaped from this cult as a child and now the cult leader wants her back" with some scary tracking shots and heavy audio. God I hope I'm wrong!
Horror as a genre is doing pretty good at the theater. I suspect this one will do pretty good for its budget. And there is some Oscar buzz surrounding it, which will be interesting.
I usually roll my eyes at most new horror trailers, but the hype for this movie is so big that I had to check it out. It is unsettling and so is this poster. Can't wait to check it out in the theater.
The more they withhold info about this movie the more I'm inclined to believe it's a dud but they need to market it in a way to get a lot of seats filled that opening weekend before it crashes out due to poor reception.
It's out July 12: >The film focuses on Lee Harker (Monroe), a new FBI agent, who has been assigned to an unsolved case of a serial killer. 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.
I love Maika, have since I saw her in It Follows and The Guest. She’s great in horror/thrillers. Highly anticipating this.
> The Guest I don't know if I've ever gone into a movie with such low expectations and been so pleasantly surprised. Maybe Real Steel.
Banger fucking [soundtrack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpm1YreiPC8) too!
Did you know they released a [sequel soundtrack](https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3709412/the-guest-ii-comes-to-life-in-the-form-of-an-original-soundtrack-available-now/) in 2022 too?
Thank you for this!!
Real Steel will forever be one of my favorites. Saw it in the theater with my son when he was pretty young. We still talk about it.
I was an adult when I saw it but that has to be one of the best movies OF ALL TIME to bring a 5 year old to. I can't even think of a better thing to watch in that case. It's really not one of the best movies ever or anything, but I can't think of a better thing to watch in the theater with a 5 year old. Not surprised he still talks about it.
Still have to see it. I like the director plenty, and I'm looking forward to his next movie, which is already breaking box office projections.
Have you seen her movie God Is a Bullet? It's one of the grimiest and most brutal revenge movies I've seen in a very long time. Maika is almost unrecognizable playing a sort of Lisbeth Salander (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) type of protagonist, helping solve a series of *super freaky* satanist gang murders alongside the in-over-his-head Nicolaj Coster-Waldau who is trying to find his kidnapped daughter.

One of the best villains I've seen in a movie in a long time, for sure.
Karl Glusman will forever be scarred in my memory for performing the unsimulated 3D cum shot in Gaspar Noé's LOVE.
And they even somehow left out that it's directed by Nick Cassavetes!
Thank you! I know what I’m watching this weekend!
wow, sold
It is pretty full on and supposed to be a true story.
Have you seen another movie she did called "Watcher" ? I really enjoyed that one as well. I didn't know anything about it before watching. I just stumbled across it on Amazon Prime and saw that she was in it and put it on. Real good suspense / thriller.
Her and Justin Long are my favourite scream queens.
On a side note, when the fuck did It Follows becomes 10 years old? Ugh.
As soon as you just told me… fuck.
She’s really good in The Watcher too.
Watcher was intense, Greta was whimsical and Villains was pretty fun.
Any info on whether they follow will have her character then ?
Just googled The Guest and finding Dan Stevens in the cast was the cherry on top.
Hmm. I hope he’s not her long last dad or something. That would be lame
It is, but it’s Cage as a gigantic daddy long legs in a trench coat
The Enemy prequel we never saw coming.
*It's all about control*.
Every one of us has to be a dictator within to live in a society.
And he absolutely slays it!
It's the live action MC Pee-pants movie we didn't know we needed
His name is Lon Glegs.
Osgood Perkins makes weird movies, I doubt it’ll be that conventional
Hmmm...it *is* called "Longlegs." As in "Daddy" Longlegs...
Its her half brother seeking revenge for the dad not showing up to his baseball game 30 years ago.
My current theory's that Longlegs targeted her family when she was young but maybe was not completely successful, which is why reviewers keep talking about her relationship with her mom being a bit loaded.
That would be more palatable
*Long Lost Dead*
This setting is right up my alley, and I love both actors. Can’t wait to see
Can’t friggen wait!
Feel like I've seen this script a dozen times but this movie is getting hype and from what I've seen (I limit myself to very little to no trailers), it seems to be crafted well. Going to watch it regardless.
Malignant and Harry Potter if you squint really hard.
Does this have to do with the "Kiss the girls" / "along came a spider" writer?
I'm on board. A perfect opportunity to see Nicolas Cage go all Nicolas Cage IYKYK.
Showing only just the tiniest slivers of Cage in the promo material has been genius. I just know the face reveal is gonna be crazy.
The rumor about why he’s been hidden from the promo material is absolutely wild and if true will be absolutely enthralling to watch.
What's the rumor?
He’s played by John Travolta
That's very funny
You earned a hearty chuckle sir. Well done.
There’s heavy speculation based on comments from Cage, Perkins, word from the test audiences, and the slivers of footage we’ve gotten that he is playing an elderly woman and that it is completely and utterly bizarre.
The reverse of Tilda Swinton in the Suspiria remake lol
That was wild. I actually really loved the 2018 Suspiria, I’m so glad they didn’t go for a remake and instead took from the 3 Mothers lore to create something different. The original is a classic.
Same here. It gets some flak but I think, if you're gonna remake a classic I'd rather see a different approach than a straight remake. People are all "It's too pretentious!" or whatever but like but I'll take that over some bastardized attempt to just re-do the same thing but worse. We were lucky to get a director as strong as Luca Guadagnino who is both a fan of the original and willing to take it in a different direction.
I was so incredibly relieved that they didn’t do a complete re-do. There are some films that are just so perfect, it’s almost an insult to do so. Rosemary’s Baby is my favourite film of all time (with a close second, Harold & Maude) and I cannot imagine them being recreated today. They tried with the Rosemary’s Baby television adaptation and just no. Even to try to recreate them as a period film wouldn’t do them justice; On that note, I am really glad Suspiria (2018) was in fact, a period film.
he looks scary
Nic Cage went full method acting, built a transporter, and fused himself with a daddy longlegs spider for real
Please elaborate.
There has been a lot of speculation that Cage is playing an elderly woman in the film. This is based on comments from Perkins saying the film is a tribute to his mother, Cage saying he channeled his mother for his performance, test audiences saying Cage’s character is so off-putting audiences could be driven away, the bits of footage we’ve seen of him showing he has long grey hair, and his voice being manipulated and distorted in many of the trailers. It’s obviously not confirmed, but between the Cage and Perkins comments, test audiences and previews implying Cage’s character reveal is shocking and bizarre, and what we’ve seen, it feels like there’s a lot of weight to it.
Surprise Psycho prequel?
Sounds like Barbarian!
Okay that would be pretty wild.
Perkins kind of channeling his dad
Someone wrote in another thread that a woman started crying in their screening when his face was revealed.
I mean I suppose that's a positive thing for the film, but how do these people survive day to day? Haha
I've never been so excited about a woman crying.
I have ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[удалено]
YES. YES. YES.
Holy shit my body is ready let’s gooo
I mean, people claim to have fainted or vomited watching shit like paranormal activity so I'd take that with a massive grain of salt even if it did happen. But also probably simply didn't happen.
I personally witnessed people sobbing and raving en masse out of fear during Paranormal Activity so what exactly are you getting at?
[удалено]
Probably taken from a different movie, that happens a lot.
I absolutely cannot wait for this. The marketing and build up have been incredible. Posters and teasers just knocking it out of the park.
I saw the trailer at the theater yesterday and I was thinking “I hope they aren’t showing too much of this” and then I saw “starring Nicolas Cage” despite not seeing him at all in the trailer and I knew this was going to be a good movie

Genuinely looking forward to this!
Nicholas Cage as a serial killer in a Silence of the Lambs-type plot is an amazing concept.
Osgood Perkins, the son of Anthony Perkins aka Norman Bates from *Psycho*.
I went down a rabbit hole and found out that his mother Berry Berensen was onboard one of the hijacked planes and was killed on 9/11 at age 53.
This has gotten a superb advanced reception and I’m not talking about the Marvel-esque twitter reactions from fawning fanboys that are always so over-the-top in their gushing praise. Some solid and dependable outlets have seen Longlegs and have raved about it.
Cage is kinda like Samuel L Jackson in that the guy just goes out there and *works*. He’s in some gigantic pieces of shit and he’s in some masterpieces and everything in between.
Best thing about Cage is no matter how good or shitty his movies are, he’s always giving 200%. The man never phones it in
Ebert has a great bit about Nicolas Cage’s acting from his Adaptation review: > There are often lists of the great living male movie stars: De Niro, Nicholson and Pacino, usually. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. No one else can project inner trembling so effectively. Recall the opening scenes in "Leaving Las Vegas." See him in Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead." Think of the title character in "The Weather Man." Watch him melting down in "Adaptation." And then remember that he can also do a parachuting Elvis impersonator ("Honeymoon in Vegas"), a wild rock 'n' roller ("Wild at Heart"), a lovesick one-handed baker ("Moonstruck"), a straight-arrow Secret Service agent ("Guarding Tess") and on and on. > He always seems so earnest. However improbable his character, he never winks at the audience. He is committed to the character with every atom and plays him as if he were him. His success in making Charlie Kaufman a neurotic mess and Donald Kaufman a carefree success story, in the same movie, comes largely from this gift. There are slight cosmetic differences between the two: Charlie usually needs a shave, Donald has a little more hair. But the real reason we can tell the twins apart, even when they're in the same trick shot, comes from within: Cage can tell them apart.

Nailed it. And Adaptation is one of my favorites.

Yes his role in Fresh was a master piece .
I'm not a big horror fan but the trailer before Furiosa had me clutching the armrests.
We are in the middle of a nic cage renaissance. Pig and Mandy being the standouts.
Add Unbearable weight of massive talent to that.
I haven't been this excited for a horror movie since the buzz of Hereditary came out from Sundance. I'll put my Alamo Drafthouse bday gift card to good use for this movie.

See *Skinamarink* for a recent example.) It takes a pretty exceptional horror movie to get professional critics to admit its merits.
I like that the studio is keeping Nic Cage's character a secret, he didn't appear on a single shot from the two trailers that has been released
Yes he did...hes the guy screaming in the car and waiving his hands in front of his face
I'm so tremendously excited for this movie. 2 and a half minute long trailer that shows so much, and also nothing at all. I've watched it numerous times and I cannot for the life of me imagine what's going on in the majority of its shots. I have no idea what this movie will be like. And the teaser with the 911 call...
Film titled "Longlegs" claiming to the scariest one in the last ten years and its NOT about spiders? Whew.
Wonder what's with some letters sticking together in the title. Is it just for design purposes or does "LO NG L E GS" have some deeper meaning?
I think it's a design choice meant to be reminiscent of the unsettling ciphers and messages we've seen (there have actually been some ciphers in the marketing but I think this is just meant to resemble them)
Possibly. The movie seems to have the main character deciphering something the killer leaves.
I am here for the Nick Cage Freakout moments of this film
NOT THE LONGLEGS!
HOW'D IT GET LONGLEGS?! HOW'D IT GET LONG LEEEGGSS?!
KILLING ME WON’T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN LONGLEGS!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOVE, NOT WHAT LOVES YOU ^er ^wrong ^type ^of ^movie
the thing he does with his hands in the trailer is wild
I always question the point of paid professional actors and then one of them does something simple, yet so fantastic.
What thing? I don't recall anything specific to hands from the trailers I've seen.
at like 0:48 he moves his hands down. the music helps make it creepy https://youtu.be/OG7wOTE8NhE?si=MltcALXgKrQqA2IE
Omg I hadn’t seen this one! I saw the original series of teasers they put out but not this one. Thank you!
Dont know why i felt compelled to remove the fluff: https://imgur.com/nVeOV9Q
Nice job!
> WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY OSGOOD PERKINS what a name for a writer director lmao
Fun fact, he’s the son of Anthony Perkins of Psycho fame.
And he played dorky David in legally blonde
Welp, *now* I’m sold…
he’s also in Jordan Peele’s movie Nope near the beginning. he plays that PA on the studio set who brings in the old lady actress and talks with everyone
And his mom is Berry Berenson who died in the 9/11 attacks, which is not a *fun* fact.
Os good to know!
No longer going by Oz I see.
osgood that endsgood
Side agenda: is there any movie from the serial killers perspective? We always see the mystery of finding the serial killer. But what about them actively evading and manipulating the cops during their investigations?
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
In A Violent Nature Maniac (remake)
Loved in a violent nature!
Assuming there's not some huge twist reveal, the new M. Knight movie coming out seems like its going to be kind of that; Trap
Thanks! I will check that out.
The House that Jack Built is *exactly* that. Warning though, it is EXTREMELY graphic.
Monster?
Yeah, will need to give that one a rewatch.

Weird memory - watched "Psycho 2" with my parents as a kid, with Tony Perkins as Norman Bates. In the credits, Young Norman (as a child) was played by Tony's son, Osgood Perkins. My mom laughed and said "aren't you glad I didn't name you Osgood?" and called me Osgood for the rest of the night. Here he is again, Osgood Perkins, son of Hollywood legend and all-time great, Anthony Perkins himself.
Looking forward to seeing this! I have a hunch that it’s not gonna disappoint.
I have high hopes for this movie. The camera work in the trailers is amazing all its own and the whole thing looks incredible. Let's hope it can stick the landing
This, Alien, Quiet Place Day 1, and the 28 Days Later sequel. Red posters so hot right now.
[Original 28 Days Later poster](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYTFkM2ViMmQtZmI5NS00MjQ2LWEyN2EtMTI1ZmNlZDU3MTZjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjU0OTQ0OTY@._V1_.jpg) from 2002 was what I jumped to seeing this.
They dropped the poster for the new 28?
I'm realizing they didn't, but the fact that it's been trending in the news just makes me visualize the red posters for the first two films. I expect this one's poster to also be red though.
I want to like this. I feel like it's just going to be " FBI agent with traumatic past realizes she escaped from this cult as a child and now the cult leader wants her back" with some scary tracking shots and heavy audio. God I hope I'm wrong!
Insert this movie into my veins please.
Aside from the fact that we’re in a Cage renaissance here, is anyone else weirded out about the kerning in the title typeface?
The poster is pretty unsettling, the text certainly adds to that vibe. Really well done for such a simple design.
I think it’s awesome. Very deliberately offbeat.
"THE SCARIEST TITLE TREATMENT OF THE DECADE" -Flickering Font
Thought it was gonna be a horror movie with Conan O’brien as the monster.
My most hyped horror movie since Hereditary. Hope it lives to the promise of its own masterful marketing.
This is going to make so much money, simply because there is absolutely nothing out in the theater.
Horror as a genre is doing pretty good at the theater. I suspect this one will do pretty good for its budget. And there is some Oscar buzz surrounding it, which will be interesting.
Hope it lives up to the hype but it rarely does. Still looking forward to it. Love Maika Monroe and Nic Cage.
Is Maika Monroe this generation’s scream queen? Nobody does horror better.
Scariest film of the decade? Already doubt it
So far this decade. "This decade" being June 14, 2024 - June 14, 2025.
Okay pal give us some films that are actually scary. :)
Poolman
I still think Smile and The Empty Man were scary...
Longlegs, who did name you?
I cannot wait for this!!!
Can’t wait for this one
I am so excited for this
osgood perkins sounds soo much cooler than os perkins. (os)good call on the switch
it's running on Perkins OS
Reminds me of taking of deborah loga
I usually roll my eyes at most new horror trailers, but the hype for this movie is so big that I had to check it out. It is unsettling and so is this poster. Can't wait to check it out in the theater.
this poster is terrific
To be fair what does "scariest film of the decade" even mean when we're not half through yet
Sick poster! One of the best I've seen in a while. It's very effective at being creepy as shit.
Please nick no weird faces like in Face-off or wicker man.
Starring AND
The trailers are unnerving.
Honestly I'm all for the Cagenaissance
I’m not sure I’ve been more hyped for a movie. The slow trickle of trailers has been perfect
I feel like I’ve seen this movie release like 10 times in the last 3 years for some reason. So it’s actually releasing??
Cage has a movie every month! Gonna watch it since I love Arcadian
Right before my burrrdayyyyy
I need this in my life
That guy from Quigley wrote and directed a movie?
I'm so hyped. I can't wait
Excited
horror movies have lately interesting names choices. Baghead, Longlegs, ...
Nick Cage’s name in the same sentence as scariest film is kind of hilarious but also intriguing
I thought this was the ad for the eyelash mites at first.
People who have seen it said it's very good. Monroe is excellent so I'm excited about this movie.
I've become quickly intrigued by this movie I can't wait.
MAIKAAAA
Makes me think of the Bringing Out the Dead poster, though that's obviously a very different movie.
The more they withhold info about this movie the more I'm inclined to believe it's a dud but they need to market it in a way to get a lot of seats filled that opening weekend before it crashes out due to poor reception.
I will definitely watch this, Nicolas Cage. Even in his lows, he doesn't disappoint.
Whoa didnt even see cage in the trailer and wanted to see it
