Brent Lang Executive Editor “Longlegs,” an occult-tinged horror mystery about an FBI agent on the trail of a serial killer, opened to a phenomenal $22.6 million, easily outgrossing “Fly Me to the Moon,” a $100 million dollar rom-com featuring two of Hollywood’s brightest stars. To pull off that upset, “Longlegs” got a lift from some sensational reviews, as well as a creepy performance by Nicolas Cage. The film’s opening weekend results are a record-breaking debut for Neon, the indie distributor that did an outstanding job of generating word-of-mouth for “Longlegs” thanks to a viral marketing campaign.

Longlegs director Osgood Perkins has shared further insight into the film after its worldwide release last week – on how its titular villain, played by Nicolas Cage, was inspired by Se7en, on deciphering its ending, and those creepy dolls.In an interview with Variety yesterday (July 13), Perkins (the son of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Psycho) talked at length about the film after its first weekend at the box office.In Longlegs, Cage’s character kills himself after an interrogation by Lee Harker (Maika Monroe), long before its climactic, bleak ending. His sudden departure was inspired by the villain of Se7en: John Doe, played by Kevin Spacey.Perkins explains that, when making the movie, he and his team were “consciously aware of our references”, and that they wanted to “crib or steal a move from one of the great serial killer movies” when they could.And so, the total on-screen time of Cage’s Longlegs was inspired by how Spacey’s John Doe appears in the 1995 David Fincher film only in “three or four scenes” – “the fact that John Doe gave himself up” inspired Perkins’ intention for the full reveal of Longlegs to be “almost anticlimactic”.“We wanted to sort of — “rip off” is not the right word — “borrow” is more close to what we were doing,” Perkins says.On the film’s ending, which sees Harker trying (and only somewhat succeeding) to stop the spread of Longlegs’ Satanic murder spree in the Carter household, Perkins maintains to Variety that it was always intended to play out that way.“The ending was meant to be tragic,” he explains.

Nicolas Cage has said he based his satanic serial killer character in Longlegs on his mother, something he has described as “constructive”.Directed by Osgood Perkins (the son of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Psycho), the horror thriller follows FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) who is assigned to a number of unsolved killings across town connected to a mysterious figure known as Longlegs.Cage plays the titular Longlegs, who is joined by other cast members Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Michelle Choi-Lee, Dakota Daulby and Kiernan Shipka.In a recent interview with the New Yorker, the actor revealed that he drew inspiration for the character from the unlikely source of his own mother, Joy Vogelsang.“Not that she was satanic,” he clarified. “But her vocalisations, the way she would move.”He added that there were just a few vocal tics that he recalled from his childhood that were helpful for him when getting into the Longlegs headspace.“She would talk, like, ‘Oooh, Nicky, you looked just like a little bird when you were born’,” he continued.
