<\/picture><\/div>\nLet\u2019s admit it; the horror movie marketing playbook is a predictably well-trodden path. Roll out the monster, cue the jump scares, rinse and repeat. Every other horror film pats itself on the back with a prompt, \u201cthe scariest of the decade\u201d, flashing across the screen, waxing lyrical of its niche new indie filmmaker\u2019s experimental new take on the genre, \u201cnever seen before\u201d. <\/p>\n
But Neon has been doing things. Freaky things<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The production company\u2019s marketing team has orchestrated a symphony of suspense that somehow feels like a cold sweat on a sultry summer night. It\u2019s a remarkably Hitchcockian exercise in stoking fear and curiosity, making your skin crawl before a single frame has flickered on the screen. Neon has managed to carve out a unique space for Osgood Perkins\u2019 Longlegs<\/i>; their approach to the much anticipated crime-horror has been to embrace the unknown and make it the film\u2019s central draw.<\/p>\n The initial teaser was very nonchalantly dropped back in January. It was a visual enigma \u2014 a 36-second clip featuring creepy images of blood-soaked rooms and a haunting 911 call. No plot spoilers, no clear hints, just a tantalisingly vague glimpse into something terrifying. Enough to send the internet into a frenzy, with fans dissecting every frame with forensic precision in search for answers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
