Longlegs Is Now The Biggest Indie Horror Box Office Hit In A Decade

The Nicolas Cage movie Longlegs is officially one of the biggest indie horror box office hits in years.

Director Osgood Perkins' acclaimed, R-rated serial killer flick has been chugging along in theaters even against strong competition from the likes of "Deadpool & Wolverine," "Twisters," and "Inside Out 2," among others, over the past month. Perkins, on the other hand, is a challenging director who made an uncompromising, exceedingly dark movie about a deranged serial killer that somehow managed to cut through the noise and become the biggest horror hit of 2024 to date. The "less is more" approach got people hooked and, even though response among general moviegoers was a bit mixed, the film garnered must-see buzz, leading to incredible holds week-to-week.
