On Thursday, Brightcove added FrightPix as a new media customer. FrightPix launches on June 15 across the United States, and will use Brightcove, the world’s most trusted streaming technology company, and its award-winning platform to distribute the content.

FrightPix is a free, ad-supported video-on-demand service (AVOD) emphasizing horror, thrillers, and true crime. The new service will feature content from the three genres, combining modern thrillers and classic scares with true crime tales and original programming. FrightPix will be the next go-to stop for fans of these three genres.

Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as Lee Harker, an FBI agent assigned to work on a cold case involving a serial killer played by Cage. The cryptic trailer never shows Cage's face, but his sadistic voice can be heard as he stalks and frightens Monroe's Harker. While speaking about his character to The New York Times, Cage said, "I play […] a possessed Geppetto.
