Longlegs Maika Monroe

Longlegs, a gripping mystery by Osgood Perkins, features Nicholas Cage, Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Kiernan Shipka, Alicia Witt, Michelle Choi-Lee, and Dakota Daulby. The PVRInox-presented horror film will be released in cinemas on July 12, 2024.

Maika Monroe plays FBI agent Lee Harker, who is determined to solve an intense mystery. The thrilling cat-and-mouse chase between Lee and the villain keeps audiences riveted, eagerly anticipating each unfolding twist and turn, leaving them on edge.

Nicolas Cage masterfully conceals Longlegs' identity and appearance, heightening the suspense around his character throughout the film.

Sharing her experience of seeing Nicholas Cage’s character for the first time, Monroe stated, "On horror sets, so many people ask if it's scary or spooky. And it really isn’t! You see all the gags. You see the fake blood, but for the first time, I was really able to experience this genuine feeling of being very uncomfortable, nervous, scared, and fearful of opening that door and what I was going to see. Oz didn't let me see any photos or anything. I knew was sitting in the hair and makeup chair for several hours, but I had no idea! It was a pretty surreal experience that I will definitely never forget."
