“You’ve got the teeth of the hydra upon you.” It’s finally time. After letting this trailer play in theaters for a month already, Neon has released the teaser trailer for Longlegs online for everyone to watch. It’s one of the best modern teaser trailers ever made – a brilliant remix of the Alien text slow title reveal, but this time for an eerie serial killer horror thriller. FBI Agent Lee Harker is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes unexpected turns, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again. Longlegs is the latest film from director Oz Perkins (of The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Gretel & Hansel) – all those creepy teases were leading up to this. The horror film stars Maika Monroe as Lee Harker, Nicolas Cage, Alicia Witt, Blair Underwood, and Dakota Daulby. This is such a disquiting, frightening, captivating teaser – one of the best of 2024. Makes me insanely curious to find out what the F is going on – I’m definitely in now.

Here’s the first official teaser trailer (+ posters) for Oz Perkins’ Longlegs, direct from Neon’s YouTube:
