'Longlegs' carries a pervasive creepiness that’s not really about the story. ... Rather, it’s about an idea — an idea that there is something that everybody is afraid of.

I had a blast, but I do wonder how much better it could be if Perkins picked a lane [between police thriller and horror]. It all adds up to a more than solid genre flick I didn't love, but can definitely see why so many do.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 3, 2025

Perkins’ contract with us seems to be: I’ll give you a hundred minutes of unsettling creepiness, but in return you have to accept one of the dumbest denouements a horror story has ever posited. And one of Nicolas Cage’s most outlandish performances.

| Original Score: C | Dec 24, 2024

Produced through Nicholas Cage's Saturn Films company, this is a movie whose quality transcends its low budget, partly because of some strong performances.

| Original Score: B | Dec 8, 2024

"I was connecting dots that I don't think that I should've because of all the added details didn't make much sense in the end"

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 3, 2024

The film left me feeling uneasy, something which never happens. Longlegs is demented, diabolically strange, and it has one of cinema’s creepiest villains.

The horror mixture may be subjects tackled separately in previous films, but including the crime procedural with a traditional occult story helps ground the film, slightly, to something more real.

Osgood Perkins’ dread-dripping serial killer thriller brings the devil home.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2024

Longlegs isn’t as great as the classic ‘90s horror films it resembles, but it provides a gripping serial killer tale nonetheless.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 24, 2024

Longlegs has the ability to make the banal suddenly and delightfully sinister.

Osgood Perkins's horror film is artier than any other new movie I saw this summer.

| Sep 16, 2024

Few things are as heartbreaking as witnessing a movie that has so much going for it completely disintegrate in a morass of poor creative decisions..

It's not a bad film, but it's not the movie that influencers and marketing people sold us. [Full review in Spanish]

The most terrifying aspects of Longlegs aren’t in its spooky ciphers, sharp jolts, or even Nicolas Cage’s full freak-flag performance, it’s in the stink of apathy.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 3, 2024

Writer-director Osgood Perkins leaves a mark on modern horror with a picture that’s so disturbing that it will make you look twice the next time you’re by a dark corner. All signs point to Longlegs being a true classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 3, 2024

Perkins’s horror plays like it takes place in a vacuum, devoid of regular emotions and suffused with unnerving darkness, populated by only a handful of characters who will inevitably connect in one way or another.

Sweet dreams, kids: Longlegs is unforgettable, for better or worse.
