Longlegs Official Teaser Trailer Releases And Introduces A Satanic Serial Killer
Neon has been knocking it out of the park with the marketing campaign for their upcoming horror film Longlegs. The creepy teasers and disturbing posters have kept us anticipating this moment and the official teaser trailer for the film has finally dropped. The film is set to debut sometime in 2024. Check out the official teaser trailer and more about the film below.
The film follows the story of “FBI Agent Lee Harker who is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again.”
In a recent test screening, a reader from World of Reels says “It was good. It’s an acquired taste and all, especially with the slow burn style, but it’s very unsettling and deeply steeped in the satanic panic of the ‘70s serial killer horror. There’s lots of memorable horror imagery here that’s reminiscent, at times, of similar films like Se7en, Cure, Silence of the Lambs and Zodiac.”
In the last couple of weeks, Neon has been releasing creepy teaser trailers that wouldn’t state what movie it was, but it left clues for us to piece together to make assumptions. After piecing everything together, it led to the film Longlegs which stars Nicolas Cage as the serial killer in the film. You can check out one of these articles here. This is one of many horror films slated to release this year by Neon which include It Follows sequel They Follow, Immaculate, Cuckoo, and Longlegs.
The movie is directed by Oz Perkins, the son of Anthony Perkins (Psycho Series). He is known for his films Gretel and Hansel (2019) and The Blackcoats Daughter. The film stars Nicolas Cage (The Pig, Renfield), Maika Monroe (It Follows, Watcher), Alicia Witt (Urban Legend, Dune), and many others. The film is rated R for Bloody Violence, Disturbing Images, and Some Language.
This is one horror film that will be talked about when it is released in theaters. From the amazing marketing campaign to a killer cast, it will do well in the theaters. Are you excited about this new film from Neon? Let us know in the comments below. Also, check out 2 of the previous teasers below.

First Look: On Set of ‘Welcome to Derry’ & Interview with Andy Muschietti
Rising from the sewers, drag performer and horror movie enthusiast The Real Elvirus took her fans behind the scenes of the MAX series Welcome to Derry in an exclusive hot-set tour. The show is scheduled to release sometime in 2025, but a firm date has not been set.
Filming is taking place in Canada in Port Hope, a stand-in for the fictional New England town of Derry located within the Stephen King universe. The sleepy location has been transformed into a township from the 1960s.
Welcome to Derry is the prequel series to director Andrew Muschietti’s two-part adaptation of King’s It. The series is interesting in that it’s not only about It, but all the people who live in Derry — which includes some iconic characters from the King ouvre.
Elvirus, dressed as Pennywise, tours the hot set, careful not to reveal any spoilers, and speaks with Muschietti himself, who reveals exactly how to pronounce his name: Moose-Key-etti.
The comical drag queen was given an all-access pass to the location and uses that privilege to explore props, facades and interview crew members. It’s also revealed that a second season is already greenlit.
Take a look below and let us know what you think. And are you looking forward to the MAX series Welcome to Derry?

Wes Craven Produced ‘The Breed’ From 2006 Getting a Remake
The tepid 2006 Wes Craven-produced film, The Breed, is getting a remake from producers (and brothers) Sean and Bryan Furst . The sibs previously worked on the well-received vampire flick Daybreakers and, more recently, Renfield, starring Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult.
Now you may be saying “I didn’t know Wes Craven produced a nature horror film,” and to those we would say: not many people do; it was kind of a critical disaster. However, it was Nicholas Mastandrea’s directorial debut, handpicked by Craven, who had worked as a director’s assistant on New Nightmare.
The original had a buzz-worthy cast, including Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast and the Furious, Machete) and Taryn Manning (Crossroads, Orange is the New Black).
According to Variety this remake stars Grace Caroline Currey who plays Violet, “‘a rebel icon and badass on a mission to search for abandoned dogs on a remote island which leads to complete adrenaline-fueled terror.’”
Currey is no stranger to horror suspense thrillers. She starred in Annabelle: Creation (2017), Fall (2022), and Shazam: Fury of the Gods (2023).
The original film was set in a cabin in the woods where: “A group of five college kids are forced to match wits with unwelcoming residents when they fly to a ‘deserted’ island for a party weekend.” But they encounter, “ravenous genetically enhanced dogs bred to kill.”
The Breed also had a funny Bond one-liner, “Give Cujo my best,” which, to those who aren’t familiar with killer dog movies, is a reference to Stephen King’s Cujo. We wonder if they will keep that in for the remake.

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops
The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.
This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.
The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.
Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.
Which one will you see first?
