Calling all horror movie enthusiasts under 18! This is not a drill. NEON is giving you the chance to ditch the parental units and experience the chills of "Longlegs" completely uncensored.
That's right, on Friday, July 12th, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn is hosting a special parent-free screening of Osgood Perkins' highly anticipated horror flick, "Longlegs." This R-rated thriller, already generating buzz as one of the "scariest films of the year," is your chance to see Nicolas Cage unleash his creepiest on the big screen.
But wait, there's a twist! To ensure a safe (and maybe slightly spooky) environment, NEON has enlisted the services of some rather unique chaperones – bloody-faced nuns. So you can rest assured your parents will have nothing to worry about... except maybe your nightmares after the movie.
Here's how to score a ticket:
- Head over to Longlegs@neonrated.com and RSVP.
- Get a permission slip signed by your guardian (sorry, no sneaking in this time!).
About the Movie:
"Longlegs" follows an FBI agent (Maika Monroe) hot on the trail of a serial killer. As she delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a horrifying web of occult clues that must be deciphered to stop the killer's reign of terror.
The film boasts a star-studded cast alongside Cage, including Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and the ever-intriguing Maika Monroe, known for her chilling roles in "It Follows" and "They Follow."
Intrigue Guaranteed:
The "Longlegs" marketing campaign has been nothing short of ingenious. From cryptic teasers to multiple chilling trailers and even cipher messages hidden in newspapers, NEON has masterfully built anticipation for this release. The pièce de résistance? A Los Angeles billboard with a phone number leading to a creepy voicemail from Longlegs himself, voiced by Cage. This number reportedly received over 250,000 calls in just 48 hours!
With a current Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%, "Longlegs" is poised to be a horror must-see. So, grab your permission slip, teenagers, and prepare for a frightfully good time (with some bloody-faced chaperones for good measure) at the "Longlegs" parent-free screening!
