I hope you’re ready for a one-two punch of horror icons on Collider Ladies Night. Last week we put the spotlight on Mia Goth for the release of MaXXXine, and now we’ve got Longlegs headliner Maika Monroe who is, hands down, one of the most exciting voices in the horror space right now - and has been for a decade.
It Follows completely changed the game for Monroe in 2014. The David Robert Mitchell-written and directed film featured a brilliant concept that was expertly executed, putting the project on the path to becoming a modern horror classic. That wasn’t the only 2014 release Monroe had that earned such high honors. She also starred in Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard’s The Guest, yet another beloved film festival gem that went on to be hailed as top-tier horror by the masses. And Monroe has not stopped excelling in the genre since. She consistently works with directing visionaries with bold and ambitious ideas, ideas that give Monroe opportunities to push boundaries in horror storytelling and challenge herself as an actor in that space. Not only is her latest in that department a big winner in every respect on screen, but the quality of the work seems to be paying off significantly. Longlegs is already setting records for its distributor, Neon, and is poised to take in $14 - $17 million for its debut weekend.
Monroe leads Longlegs as Lee Harker, a new FBI agent who finds herself working on an especially gruesome case. Given her unusually adept perception, FBI veteran Agent Carter (Blair Underwood) recruits Lee to help him track down a serial killer with ties to the occult.
In celebration of Longlegs’ nationwide release, Monroe swung by for a Collider Ladies Night interview to dig into how she carved out the perfect place for herself in Hollywood.

I absolutely love Maika. I just watched 'Longlegs"the other day and she was amazing. 'It follows' is a masterpiece and in my opinion will rise to the top of all time classics as the years go by. That film has so many unique elements and Maika's performance is certainly one of them. Also can't forget her amazing performance in 'Watcher'. She is naturally gifted in this genre of acting and even though she is an amazing actress overall (e.g I loved her in BOKEH which is a drama film) this, what I would call Mystery/Atmospheric Horror is her element. She was born to do this work.

She's a good actress I like her. I know It Follows is the one many like most but personally I liked Watcher more. She definitely picks interesting roles with interesting characters. I've only seen three of her films so far Longlegs being the most recent but I'm going to go back to her other roles that I haven't seen yet.

The on-set environment is very important for sure. But unfortunately the experience is also very different for actors. I'm on a movie right now with huge names. The actors are having an amazing time of course, but the crew is miserable because the director has insane requests and the first AD is a bully. But they won't treat the actors the same way bc the actors are much bigger names. So they probably have no idea of what's going on even though the main actress is also a producer and friends with the director. Two crew people walked off set on the first day of shoot. There is also no point reporting this stuff because HR is there for show only. Who do you think they're going to fire? The crew member who reported the bullying or the first AD who has done other jobs with the director? Unfortunately this industry is extremely unethical. Actors get paid thousands or even millions meanwhile crew members can't even have a lunch allowance. Sorry, just a bit of a rant tangent there, but I just wish this industry didn't have as many psychopaths as it does. Anyway, I love Maika Monroe and she is definitely one of the Scream Queen of this generation. Is she's in it, I'll be seated.
