Nicolas Cage’s ‘petrifying’ new movie is the most frightening thing you’ll see this decade

The film has been dubbed 'rancid' and so petrifying, it's made people cry.

Just as the Oscar-winner is teased in the film’s trailer, and has largely been kept away from the press for much of its publicity tour, so too were his fellow actors shielded from his final look – which sees him pale, plumped and malformed via plastic surgeries, with stringy white hair (and a hint of a glam rock vibe). Witt recalled her first reaction to finally seeing Cage’s androgynous look, which drew inspiration from Gary Oldman ’s Mason Verger in Hannibal and silent movie star Lon Chaney’s work on 1925’s The Phantom of the Opera. Maika Monroe plays the lead, a troubled young FBI agent Lee Harker with a touch of the psychic about her who is assigned the unsolved serial killer case, which reveals evidence of the occult.
