Oz Perkins has always been horror royalty — after all, he’s the son of Anthony Perkins, aka Norman Bates from Psycho. But in 2024, he secured himself as one of the biggest players in horror today with Longlegs, a chilling tale of ritualistic murder and Occult connections. It was an especially outstanding performance for Nicolas Cage, who combined his unique performance style with a face full of pale prosthetics.
Since then, Perkins has churned out two different horror movies, The Monkey and Keeper, within the same year — all for the indie distributor NEON, which helped turn his movies into sleeper hits. Now he’s returning to the world of Longlegs, but not with a sequel, and not with the studio that had been his home for the past few years.
