It looks like we’re having nightmares tonight as Neon has dropped yet another terrifying teaser for the upcoming horror movie Longlegs, which gives us a closer look at Nicolas Cage in what looks to be his scariest role yet.

The 30-second-longLonglegs teaseropens with a new character played by Kiernan Shipka being questioned by Maika Monroe’s detective. “Do you remember anything?” asks Monroe as a spine-chilling shot of Cage’s pale and uncanny valley-looking killer pops up on the screen. “It’s like a long dream, and so dark…” answers Shipka’s character as the video cuts to flashes of a lifesized doll on a mortuary table, a woman about to be hit across the head by a blood-soaked assailant, and a shot of Cage appearing to sniff another doll. Scary, right? The clip ends with Shipka uttering, “I don’t ever wanna forget him.” It seems like we won’t be forgetting him anytime soon either. Watch the full teaser below.

Longlegs follows new FBI recruit Lee Harker (Monroe) who gets assigned to an unsolved murder case connected to an unknown elusive serial killer (Cage). But when the case takes an unexpected turn, the agent finds she uncovers a series of occult clues that she must solve to end his spree and save his next unfortunate victim.

This is not the first glimpse we have had at the upcoming horror movie as Neon started its Longlegs campaignin the most unusual way, by teasing small clips without any clue as to what movie they were for or who starred.
