‘Longlegs’ Uncaged: Dial This Number for the Creepiest Call of Your Life

NEON wants to make sure not a day goes by in the next month that you’re not thinking about their acclaimed new horror movie Longlegs, and today is damn sure no exception.

NEON has set up a dedicated phone number you can call to have a little chat with “The Man Downstairs,” who happens to be a serial killer dubbed Longlegs. He’s played by Nicolas Cage in the upcoming movie, and dialing the number will result in a deeply unsettling pre-recorded message from Cage’s latest character. The number is 458.666.4355. Dial if you dare…

Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”

Bloody Disgusting’s own Meagan Navarro raved in her 4.5/5 star review that Longlegs “gets under your skin and festers like a nightmare.” “Nicolas Cage is operating in rare, depraved form,” Meagan’s review continues, delivering his “most unsettling performance yet.”

First Look: Jason Patric Joins the Cast of ‘Terrifier 3’!

Filming officially wrapped last week in New York on Damien Leone’s slasher sequel Terrifier 3, and we can confirm that Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Narc) has joined the cast!

The news was first reported by Deadline this afternoon.

“To say it’s an honor and a privilege having Jason on board is an understatement,” explains director Damien Leone. “He’s one of the best actors of his generation and has a deep respect for this franchise and his craft which is why I’m thrilled for fans to see his pivotal role in the Terrifier universe.”

Leone adds, “It’s not every day I get to work with the star of some of my favorite films (if you know me, you know how I feel about The Lost Boys in particular), so this has been a dream come true and a very exciting collaboration to say the least.”

In Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting’s Terrifier 3, directed once again by Damien Leone, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is set to unleash another round of chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.

Returning cast includes Lauren LaVera (Sienna), Samantha Scaffidi (Victoria Heyes), Elliot Fullam (Jonathan Shaw) and AEW superstar Chris Jericho (Burke), with Daniel Roebuck set to debut as Santa Claus. Makeup effects legend Tom Savini will also appear.

Terrifier 3 opens exclusively in theaters nationwide on October 11, 2024.

Written and directed by Damien Leone, Terrifier 3 comes courtesy of Dark Age Cinema Productions. Phil Falcone Produces with Lisa Falcone acting as Executive Producer. Co-producers include Michael Leavy, Jason Leavy, George Steuber, and Steve Della Salla. Brad Miska, Brandon Hill, and Erick Opeka Executive Produce for Cineverse. Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor also Executive Produce.

Terrifier 2, the 2022 instant cult slasher sensation, was produced on a micro-budget and then went on to generate more than $15 million at the global box office, generating significant buzz, generating a scary amount of press coverage and popping everywhere from Saturday Night Live and Bupkis to rap lyrics and ugly holiday sweaters.

Terrifier 3 was named by USA Today as one of the Top 10 most anticipated Horror films of 2024. Following the theatrical run, Cineverse plans to release the film across all platforms, including its SCREAMBOX horror streaming service. Terrifier is also bleeding into other areas, including Halloween t-shirts, podcasts and novelizations.
