10 Most Exciting Original Horror Movies Still To Come In 2024

10. Longlegs

Nicolas Cage has embraced the horror genre in the last few years, recently appearing in Mandy, Renfield, Colour Out of Space, and many others. 

For this reason, it's fitting to kickstart our list with the latest Nic Cage feature, Longlegs. Set in 1974, the story focuses on new FBI agent, Lee Parker (Maika Monroe), who's tasked with hunting down a serial-killing occultist (Nic Cage). Upon investigation, Lee discover she harbours a personal connection with the maniac.

Based on the promotions, the detective thriller has a similar vibe to Zodiac, Se7en, and The Silence of the Lambs. As such, it's shaping up to be a pretty messed up flick.

However, the most skincrawling aspect of Longlegs will likely be Cage himself. Though the Con Air star is renowned for his over-the-top performances, this could be his most bonkers character yet (and that's saying a lot). According to test screenings, Cage's behaviour in this film is so creepy, it may be off-putting for some. 

If that's the case, that'll just make horror purists want to see Longlegs even more.
