Longlegs Released Nicolas Cage’s Creepy Song, And It’s The Thing Of Nightmares

As a horror enthusiast and film critic, I have seen my fair share of scary movies throughout the years. But I must admit, “Longlegs” has left me utterly speechless and deeply disturbed. The way this film has been marketed, from its controversial twist ending to the haunting performances by Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, has truly captured my attention.

The following article contains SPOILERS for Longlegs.

As a gamer, I’ve been thoroughly surprised by the release of “Longlegs.” This horror film directed by Oz Perkins has been making waves with its impressive reviews, such as TopMob’s perfect score in their review. The movie leaves audiences feeling uneasy long after the credits have rolled. It’s been praised for various reasons, including the controversial twist ending and standout performances from Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. The marketing team has done an excellent job promoting the film as well, with Neon recently releasing a recording of Cage’s bone-chilling song from the movie. To be honest, hearing that song again wasn’t something I eagerly anticipated.

Among the many anticipated horror films set to hit theaters in 2024, the film “Longlegs” has unexpectedly gained significant traction at the box office. This surge can be attributed in part to its inventive marketing strategy. Posters for the movie label it as the top-grossing film, even mentioning “Despicable Me 4” in the same breath. The intrigue surrounding “Longlegs” has also been fueled by trailers that conceal Nicolas Cage’s appearance, leaving viewers eager to witness his terrifying transformation on screen.

As a music enthusiast with a soft spot for unconventional sounds and unsettling tones, I can’t help but be intrigued by Neon’s latest release. Having grown up listening to a diverse range of music, from classical symphonies to grunge rock anthems, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the artistry that goes into crafting sounds that evoke strong emotions.

Title of the song is “Fire, Fire, Fire, Sizzle,” which gives off an unsettling vibe even before playing it. Though it includes conventional auditory features, the enigmatic lyrics and mumbled parts create a challenging listening experience. The movie referred to this as the final musical composition by Dale Ferdinand Kobble prior to the onset of the voices.

In the movie, Cage portrays the character of Kobble, who goes by the nickname “Longlegs” when he leaves cryptic signs for law enforcement following his heinous crimes. Prior to his descent into violence, Kobble was a musician. However, he experienced a psychological breakdown which ultimately drove him to take lives.

Although Neon claims the song was composed “prior to the dominance of the voices,” the character is clearly in distress as this track is unveiled. The haunting melody is far from soothing and not something I’d casually play during my leisure time. Yet, it aligns perfectly with the film, incorporating glam rock elements into the chorus. This musical style runs prevalent throughout Longlegs, establishing an appropriate ambiance for the movie. Impressively crafted, yet I can’t shake off its unsettling atmosphere – a true horror show.

I’m really excited about the release of “Longlegs” because, despite being a horror fan myself, I feel that the serial killer subgenre has been underrepresented in recent films. The ’90s saw some fantastic examples of this type of horror with movies like “Se7en” and “The Silence of the Lambs.” These films didn’t just aim to scare us, but also kept us hooked with their intriguing mysteries.

Right now, you have the opportunity to watch Nicolas Cage shine in “Longlegs,” showing in theaters across the country. His role in this film is among his finest performances, making it a must-see on the big screen before it’s gone.
