Four Horror Favorites with Longlegs’ Maika Monroe and Osgood Perkins

[@frogge8034]

I love how opposite their tastes are - Osgood is clearly a fan of historic cinema and Maika is much more contemporary. Osgood is all about the artistry and filmmaking decisions while Maika is just like "I love a good twist." Both equally as valid! Can't wait to see how their worlds collide in the film.

[@MrJoycie1]

The 20 years between them might also contribute to it, but yeah Oz seems like a student of film

[@aandromaliuss]

POSSESSION MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@vincentdilella4489]

These two have great taste in horror films. American Werewolf, Possessor, Dogtooth and Hour of the wolf are literally some of my favourite horror films. Great list guys!

[@garydodd2837]

Never seen Dogtooth or Cat People, watched trailer for both but never did it for me..maybe one day..

[@Locusto199]

@@garydodd2837I was introduced to Yorgos’ after seeing The Lobster. Then I watched Dogtooth and knew I wouldn’t miss any of his upcoming films. Certainly not for everyone I guess tho.

[@timallenbrown]

@@garydodd2837 I liked Dogtooth! It's not really creepy in a horror sense, it's more of an unsettling film about bizarre abusive family dynamics. The dad is a real piece of shit!

[@Locusto199]

Maika and Mia Goth have become some of the best in the horror genre. Can’t wait to see Longlegs.

[@Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

Yes! I love these women playing bad ass roles! I would also like to throw out Anya Taylor Joy too. The Witch, The Menu, Split, and Last Night in Soho ( not super scary but still kinda horror).

[@Locusto199]

@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall. good call. I love The Witch, and she’s tremendous in Split. Standing out with McAvoy killing that role is very impressive.

[@Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

@@Locusto199 The Witch is one of my favorite movies ever, but if you havent given the menu a watch I would highly recommend it to anyone out their. Mia Goth is great too. I haven't seen Maxxxine yet though. :(

[@v1deo.hunter.d317]

Id throw out Melissa Barrera too for Scream 5 and 6 and Abigail, she's awesome

[@charliepanayiotou4305]

Osgood really resembles his father

[@CrazyAboutMediaWithBen]

But he also got shade of Henry Thomas who played young Norman in Psycho 4.

[@masterofallgoons]

​@@CrazyAboutMediaWithBen - True. That's the perfect description. I really can't unsee that he's a mix of those two actors now.

[@GoodnightJonboi]

Is his father Perch Perkins from Bikini Bottom?

[@agi2160]

​@@GoodnightJonboi 😂 Are you good?

[@Rayburn652]

and his grandma xd

[@senatorturkey5332]

I wish Osgood had been given a chance to talk about Cat People, it’s incredible. Beautifully shot, and basically invented the idea of relying on suggestion instead of reveal in horror cinema.

[@Sims_E]

Well, maybe he was talking about the remake..

[@Starrydarry8]

Yesss love the love for Possession and Isabel Adjani

[@PixelatedFaerie]

I'm glad to see he has such good taste. Possession is one of the greats.

[@peterkovic2241]

Had no idea the guy from Legally Blonde became a director. His movie looks sweet!

[@SerlingPictures]

Watch his movie the black coats daughter. It's fantastic.

[@nl3064]

​@Serling Pictures - Black Coats Daughter is a rewatchable movie, and has a certain draw to it, but it's not fantastic. It's a mostly mediocarly filmed movie, but with a strong, creeping atmosphere that carries the whole thing.

[@drewmcgill5290]

@@nl3064I loathe it lol. Dreadful movie. Praying he made a good movie along with the atmosphere with “Longlegs”.

[@nl3064]

@@drewmcgill5290 he probably hasn't. At this point, it's obvious Oz Perkins hasn't got the directorial skills to pull off his (on paper) somewhat decent ideas. He may have somewhat of a knack for effective atmosphere, but that's where he stops dead.

[@77Creation]

@@drewmcgill5290 I love it. Blackcoat is one of my favorite movies.

[@darthcheeseburger]

Man, she is super beautiful. Can't wait to see this on Friday!

[@sirtorchington]

Possession // Possessor !! Maika has a thing for Christopher Abbott 😂

[@Sharpe1502]

To be fair, I don’t think he’s been in a bad movie yet.

[@nadagabri5783]

Blackbear too. I think u r right becuzse blackbear does NOT even fit into horror it’s far far from it still she names it as her top

[@chovue2363]

by association, christopher abbots also in a yorgos lanthimos movie. 😂

[@benrom916]

He's hot, talented and have a taste for working in artsy movies.

[@LoganardoDVinci]

Possession is the GOAT horror film

[@chuckmendez8446]

It was nice from David Byrne to give Maika the big suit he used for the “Stop Making Sense” show.

[@eedoamitay3341]

I know Osgood has already few movies under his belt, but I hope this is actually the start of an even longer list of projects to come from him, I think he has a really clear sense of what he wants from his movies and he knows horror very well to make stuff that is truly scary and at least somewhat unique to the usual horror movies we see.

[@SSuillin]

I began to dispute Maika's level of horror understanding after Black bear (which I also loved and think Plaza should be going into any audition from that saying, y'all want me in another mother role already - mmkk I'm gonna show you something from Black bear) and then she picked the quintessential 80s slasher. Loved her in 'Watcher' and with this Longlegs role she clearly has her finger on the pulse big time, as well as her agent

[@bukowski20]

Maika Monroe was superb in this film. Nicely understated. And she's goddamn luminous, which doesn't hurt.

[@francescadalbosco1685]

Both have great lists but Maika's picks mesmerized me!

[@jessesfilms1269]

this might be my favourite top 4 from both of them

[@joshblank1]

Alien, Thing, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Predator

[@speakertone]

I'm like 95% sure Oz picked the 1982 Paul Schrader Cat People because his mom, Berry Berenson, is in it (although only briefly). A great pick regardless!!

[@v1deo.hunter.d317]

Maika was great in longlegs

[@MegaDeath22]

Possession is so crazy. That movie is so uncomfortable the entire time. Ugh soooo good.

[@jose9593]

Black Bear, yessssss

[@benrom916]

Maika have the talent to work with both Aubrey and Christopher.

[@Batamus]

Dude Possession stresses me the hell out, so good.

[@brianschwartz5298]

Possession rocks, hell yeah Oz

[@Mooneyplane]

Would love to see Maika in a Yorgos film!

[@theluvsongwriter]

Black Bear is so fucking good. Ironically I saw two of Maikas picks at Sundance.

[@Hello-d9h]

I'll check them all out and Thank you for sharing too 👍👍👍👍

[@stephendavis6267]

Maika would be incredible in a Lanthimos film alongside Stone and Qualley.

[@jacksonwright5145]

Possession really is one of the best. Isabelle Adjani is absolutely unhinged for the whole film and it is never not entertaining.

[@brandoh98]

I love her lol shs caught my attention in it follows which to date is a definite one of my all time favs...but boy watching this movie had me smiling most of the time,her on screen alone...was like mommy...mommmy?

[@SETH5641]

Maika Monroe + Yorgos would be a wonderful tandem

[@garydodd2837]

Great video..i love their choices..Posession and Possessor great films and Freddy Kruger has to be in there..classic..For me if anyone interested....Drag Me To Hell 2009..TimeCrimes 2007 (spanish movie) Confessions 2010 (Japanese movie) then probably the classics Halloween, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (with the late great Donald Sutherland and Nightmare on Elm Street...Although the film that scared me most in life is a Drama..Requim For A Dream, scariest almost Soul destroying movie about the impact of drugs with Jared Leto and Jennifer Connolly..I wouldnt watch again for anything😊

[@oblivion31]

Wonder if Maika borrowed that jacket from David Byrne

[@DJGamingSmash]

AMAZING picks!

[@37willdog]

We need Maika Monroe in a Lanthimos movie

[@sergiosanchez3344]

I already knew his favorite 4 horror movies before he told them. Its the same 4 horror movies 90% of the letterboxd user base has.

[@alexanderford3831]

GRETEL & HANSEL is a sensory feast. I came to BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER late, but it's an instant classic. I hope LONGLEGS kills it at the Box Office.

[@weird.girl4444]

POSSESSOR!! Yessssss

[@JonCordier-mr3wp]

Maika and Osgood I love your taste in horror movies

[@TheLongestTake]

There's a scene in The First Omen that I feel is direct homage to that sequence from Possession that Perkins mentioned.

Possessor really is very messed up but i think longlegs is maybe more messed up. Come to think of it Riseborough was so good in Possessor. Brilliant really

[@andy3728]

I’m surprised Osgood didn’t mention Psycho because of his late father

[@flynnjaman]

Hour Of The Wolf is the 🐐

[@dunnowy123]

Clearly a thing for wolf themed/named movies lol

I'm sure one of Os's favorite horror movies is Quigley. I mean that's on all our lists, am I right? 😋

Everyone here who hasnt seen the blackcoats daughter should watch it. Its really damn good.

Cat People, my man!

[@nicxasa]

Osgood cooked here, great taste❤

[@nl3064]

I wouldn't say "great" necessarily. Hour Of the Wolf is excellent and about time someone mentioned it. Possession was bad. Cat People, for me, was a forgettable bore. And American Werewolf is a fun but basic choice.

[@zonastarwars4397]

@@nl3064 "Possession was bad" hahahahaa

[@nl3064]

@@zonastarwars4397 how is that funny? It was basically made in every way. The acting was hilariously over-the-top. I was honestly laughing throughout at how hyperbolic both performances were. There's nothing of note about it. It was just plain in every aspect. Maybe teenage film bros like you should watch better movies before taking that obnoxious psuedo-intellectual tone.

[@zonastarwars4397]

@@nl3064 it's so ironic how you are annoyed by pseudo intellectualism when you are the one saying "movie bad" with 0 arguments haha. Not only that, but you started this by criticizing someone else's personal subjective taste because you couldn't handle the praise it gets lmao talk about being a film bro. i understand why someone wouldn't like it, but acting like there's nothing of value in it is beyond pretentious. the cinematography, the locations, the plot, the cosmic horror combined with the horror of more personal human issues, etc. Come on now, if you can't see anything good with it you are trying way to hard to be an ass.

[@nl3064]

@zonastarwars4397 I gave you a couple reasons; the hilariously bad acting and plain, unremarkable Cinematography standard for the eighties. And while I personally love Cosmic Horror (huge fan of Lovecraft)...how does that instantly make Possession good? I'm sick of this modern mentality of "oh, the theme/concept automatically makes up for mediocre filmmmaking!" Oh, it has _personal human issues_ , oh well! That makes the film itself so remarkable then! Cosmic horror. Possession is bordering on almost a knock-off of Arthur Machen's novella The Great God Pan - which was (apart from a pretty good first quarter of the story) itself a pretty mediocre Cosmic Horror/ Weird Horror novella. Possession itself is poor as cosmic horror, since it tells a pretty small scale, insignificant story that basically amounts to a Body Snatchers scenario...with only one case of replacement...? There's barely anything outlandish or alien about it. Nothing to bend the mind, as is a typical aim of Cosmic Horror. Honestly, I really struggled to remember this movie. It was that forgettable. While writing this, I put it on again...and really struggled to make sense of the plot. It's a complete, poorly slapped together mess to cap everything off. It's not being an ass when you can't see anything good in something that's not good.

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

HEY that guy was in Legally Blonde!

[@drewmcgill5290]

Possessor kicks so much fucking ass.

[@sirtorchington]

"It's a movie, deal with it" that is the perfect perspective to watch Longlegs with too. Get over the weird shit that feels unrealistic and just watch the movie lol

Monroe doesn’t look the same. Hollywood got to her. I have less respect for her. She’s done something drastic to change her facial features. She looks like a different person than she did in It Follows. It’s weird how after a while in Hollywood, they start changing their looks. And not for the better. Monroe is only a few years away from plastic surgery that will horrifyingly alter her image beyond REPAIR.

I so badly wanted to love Longlegs, but it’s so underwhelming. Not scary, not bizarre or weird, and not gory. 5/10…maybe a 6.
