Longlegs' marketing campaign is one for the horror history books. It's had genre fans cracking codes, perusing the details of a bunch of grisly murders on a fake website, and cowering in their seats, too. It's also been deliberately obscuring the terrifying face of Nicolas Cage's titular serial killer. And boy, is it terrifying...
With his scraggly, white blonde wig and a face full of prosthetics, the actor is pretty unrecognizable in the role, which writer-director Osgood Perkins says was somewhat of a request from Cage. "Early on in the development, Nic was really enthusiastic about burying himself," he tells GamesRadar+ and Inside Total Film, "which I thought was awesome, because I don't think he's ever done that before."
