Blair Underwood embraces the demonic dark in “Longlegs" with Nicolas Cage
SalonBlair Underwood terrified me last weekend to the point where my Sunday was ruined. I brought the terror on myself by going to see his new film “Longlegs.” "Longlegs," written and directed by Oz Perkins, is a horror-thriller starring Underwood, Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, about a bizarre serial killer with a talent for recruiting unlikely accomplices. But the thing is, for a horror film, that's an original story that was made for $10 million, to do $22.6 million the first weekend is phenomenal.” This is Blair Underwood's first horror film, but it won't be his last. You know, $22 million is $22 million and people say, "Ah, it's not $100 million or $50 million," but the thing is, for a horror film, that's an original story that was made for $10 million, to do $22.6 million the first weekend is phenomenal. I went and saw the film this weekend, and then my wife and I had to make two or three stops on the way home and we're telling people about, "Yo, we just saw this film," and people in a restaurant who we don't even know are like, "Oh, s**t, you're talking about 'Longlegs'?"
