Trailer for ‘M.F.A.’, One of the Most Important Films of the Year

Published

After being sexually assaulted, Francesca Eastwood plays an art student who confronts her attacker and digs deeper into campus violence in this timely, unpredictable thriller. One of the most important movies of the year, the acclaimed revenge thriller M.F.A. will be available in select theaters and on digital platforms October 13, 2017.

The film, from director Natalia Leite and writer Leah McKendrick, takes on the searing current issue of sexual violence on campus. I explained that it both empowers and enlightens in my review out of the SXSW premiere.

“Noelle (Francesca Eastwood), an art student struggling to find her voice, is sexually assaulted by a fellow classmate. Attempting to cope with her trauma, she impulsively confronts her attacker, leading to a violent altercation that culminates in his accidental death. Noelle tries to return to normalcy, but when she discovers she is only one of many silenced sexual assault survivors on campus, she takes justice into her own hands. A vigilante is born – retribution is the inspiration she’s been waiting for.”

The cast also includes Leah McKendrick, Clifton Collins Jr. and Peter Vack.

Published

NEON wants to make sure not a day goes by in the next month that you’re not thinking about their acclaimed new horror movie Longlegs, and today is damn sure no exception.

NEON has set up a dedicated phone number you can call to have a little chat with “The Man Downstairs,” who happens to be a serial killer dubbed Longlegs. He’s played by Nicolas Cage in the upcoming movie, and dialing the number will result in a deeply unsettling pre-recorded message from Cage’s latest character. The number is 458.666.4355. Dial if you dare…

Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.

The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.

In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”

Bloody Disgusting’s own Meagan Navarro raved in her 4.5/5 star review that Longlegs “gets under your skin and festers like a nightmare.” “Nicolas Cage is operating in rare, depraved form,” Meagan’s review continues, delivering his “most unsettling performance yet.”
