Maika Monroe stars as Lee Harker in emLonglegs /em(2024).
The Big Picture The horror-thriller Longlegs hasn’t even been in release for a week, and it’s already passing important box office benchmarks. On Wednesday, the film hit the $25 million mark domestically, and some hours later, the $30 million milestone globally. On Thursday, its sixth day of release, the film will overtake 2017’s I, Tonya to become Neon’s second-biggest domestic hit, behind 2019's Parasite.
Directed by Osgood Perkins, Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as a rookie FBI agent, and Nicolas Cage as the titular serial killer, whom she’s tasked with tracking down. The movie draws inspiration from ‘90s procedural thrillers such as The Silence of the Lambs and Cure but also dabbles quite deliberately in the supernatural.
Instead, the movie has aided in a long-awaited box office resurrection for the horror genre, having built on the momentum of the recent hit A Quiet Place: Day One. Longlegs has already overtaken the domestic hauls of recent horror movies such as The First Omen , The Watchers , Tarot , MaXXXine , Abigail and Imaginary , and will soon shoot past Night Swim , and The Strangers: Chapter 1 . Also starring Blair Underwood and Alicia Witt, Longlegs is playing in theaters.
