Horror movie fans have been sent into a frenzy over 'psychologically scarring' new flick - and it has already earned a 100 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The chilling blockbuster, titled Longlegs, stars actress Maika Monroe, 31, as an FBI agent in pursuit of a serial killer.

Set in the 1990s, during her investigation, she uncovers a 'series of occult clues that she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.'

The movie, which also casts Nicolas Cage, 60, will be released on July 12 but is already being hailed as 'sinister' and 'unsettling' by early viewers.

And horror fans who have already had a sneak peek at the film in full have been flooding review platforms to gush over the blockbuster.

One person on LetterBoxd wrote: 'Longlegs is a scary movie. But not scary, like cue the loud music, cut to scary ghoul, audience gasps, movie continues... Longlegs is scary in the way that it crawls under your skin and gnaws at your bones. 

'It's the festering wound in a spot you can't reach. A movie that reminds you that evil exists.'

Another commented: 'Unlike so much mainstream horror, Longlegs refuses to hold your hand. 

'It's a chilling amalgamation of a Fincher-esque procedural with classic religious fanaticism, and the result is something uniquely nightmarish. 

'It's difficult to iterate how good Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage are. Their performances are more of an experience - something for the horror history books.

'Admittedly, this type of movie is my love language, but it's been a minute since a serial killer horror movie has been this good. All praise [director] Oz Perkins.'

Someone else quipped: 'My favorite part was when I was able to exit the theater into broad daylight and a happy crowded street.' 

But the praise did not stop there as another viewer shared: 'LONGLEGS is one of the best serial killer films in recent memory. 

'The confidence Oz Perkins displays in his framing, atmosphere, and pacing, has been suggested before, but it reaches its full potential in this psychologically scarring police procedural, that steadily evolves into something even more sinister and otherworldly.

'Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage are phenomenal with the former barely keeping it together under intense emotional distress, while the latter delivers a disturbing, but controlled performance that stays consistent with Perkins' chilling tone. 

'A meticulously crafted and unnerving descent into hell that will haunt your mind and soul.'

Director Oz Perkins previously shared with IndieWire: 'I'm somewhat surprised that people are so kind of terrified by it and find it to be so intense and so gnarly and so grotesque and so brutal. 

'I never set out to make anybody feel bad. 

'I don't know that any filmmaker necessarily does, although there's a couple of people who wonder if their intention is to make people feel bad. 

'I don't like those movies at all. But for me, honestly, I just tried to make something that was good and that people would want to enjoy.'
