NEON announced today a unique promotional campaign for "LongLegs," the new serial killer feature from Osgood Perkins, starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. In partnership with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, NEON will allow moviegoers under 17 to see "LongLegs" without parental supervision. The event, scheduled for Friday, July 12th, will feature chaperones dressed as bloody-faced nuns to ensure the teens' safety.
To attend the parentless screening, teens must RSVP at Longlegs@neonrated.com and provide a signed permission slip from their guardians.
"LongLegs," hailed as one of the “scariest films of the year,” was written and directed by Perkins (known for "The Monkey" and "The Blackcoat’s Daughter") and stars Maika Monroe ("It Follows," "They Follow"), Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage. The film follows an FBI agent who uncovers a series of occult clues while pursuing a serial killer.
The promotional campaign for "LongLegs" has generated significant interest, beginning with cryptic teasers released earlier this year. The campaign included mysterious teaser trailers, posters, and cipher messages in local newspapers. In late June, a billboard in Los Angeles featured a phone number that, when dialed, played an unnerving message from Longlegs, the character portrayed by Nicolas Cage. The phone number received over 250,000 calls within the first 48 hours.
"LongLegs" opens nationwide on July 12th and currently holds a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
