Longlegs has been gaining quite a lot of traction and gossip among horror fans from those fortunate enough to see early screenings of the movie. The film stars Maika Monroe (It Follows) as FBI Agent Lee Harker, who is assigned to track down a serial killer who leaves a calling card signed “Longlegs” with each of his victims. Set in the 90s, her character is a nod to the character Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs. The killer, known only as Longlegs, is played by Nicolas Cage and taunts Harker with cryptic clues and hints relating to his murders and her connection to them.

The best horror movies work because you feel, in the moment, that what you’re looking at is real. Or even if it isn’t real, you feel like it could happen to you, that it’s not so far-fetched as to be impossible. Plenty of horror movies carve very real feeling scares out of the most outrageous material, from evil Boogeymen to demonically possessed nuns, ghosts and gremlins and Scandinavian cults with weird summertime rituals. Some even pretend, Blair Witch-style, that the events you see onscreen really did happen exactly as you’re seeing them.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The True Story Behind the Horror Legend

Horror cinema has changed radically since its inception, as audiences now look for different qualities when it comes to the genre.
