The Big Picture The title of the scariest film of the year is still up for grabs in 2024, but it's going to be hard to make a more ominous marketing campaign than what Neon has done for Longlegs. Written and directed by Oz Perkins, the psychological horror thriller has received one cryptic teaser after another to pull audiences into its twisted mystery revolving around the titular serial killer played by Nicolas Cage.
As with previous videos, "Sweet: Part Two" doesn't give away any story details, though it comes with some new footage that teases the presence of the supernatural in Longlegs. It's all centered around a creepy poem, which reads "So close the crimson and clover, all gone now to the edge, where the black begins, the long forked tongue hisses.
Longlegs is said to take cues from classic Hollywood psychological thrillers, as the rising star Harker is assigned to tackle the cold case of the eponymous serial killer. As she digs deeper into the mystery, a myriad of twists and turns are uncovered that not only point to the presence of the occult but form a personal connection to Harker. With the murderer preparing to attack another innocent family, the agent must put the clues together quickly before tragedy strikes again.
'Longlegs' Continues to Drive Intrigue With Its Promotion In addition to the poster and video, Bloody Disgusting received a list that they shared on Twitter with ten steps for an ominous application process related to the film, which includes a screening, multiple tests including physical fitness exams, and a basic field training course. It's just another way that Longlegs is building curiosity about its release, especially with a relative lack of story details to work with.
