It may not have entered the summer with the billing of a blockbuster, but the crime thriller Longlegs has built plenty of hype with its stellar reviews, clever trailers and the promise of a new wild performance from Nicolas Cage. Now playing, you have the chance to watch Longlegs for yourself, and we have all the info you need to know to do so.
Longlegs is written and directed by Osgood Perkins, who has a connection to one of the best Hollywood thrillers of all time, Psycho, as he is the son of Norman Bates actor Anthony Perkins. While not quite reaching Psycho levels, Longlegs has earned some of the best reviews of the year, with it sitting at a 91% "Fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes as of publication.
