Longlegs Reviews
Bit to much satanic stuff for me. I prefer jump scares over twisted devil stuff, But as far as a horror goes it was ok.
Honestly, a very confusing plot line. Had to re watch it to understand. I felt as it was jumping all over the place.
As a police thriller, it does a great job at building up the mystery of how the whole story is going to come together. I was invested in the main character and how she is going to take down the serial killer, but then it destroys all sense of realism to end like any other generic horror movie.
The fact anyone found this movie entertaining of "scarry" really says a lot about the mental capacity of our society.
Chilling at times, but really falls flat. Nic Cage does a great job at portraying such a weird individual, but other than that, other performances are flat. Maybe that was the intention, but it doesn’t work for me. There’s some thrills, but in the end, I probably wouldn’t watch again.
Very slow, but it kept me creeped out, and interested to see the outcome. The last half of the movie makes the investment 👌 worth it.
Honestly I don't know what the hype was all about. It started out good but ended up too far fetched and disappointing.. I expected way better
I really liked the build up throughout the film . Sadly it did not live up to the hype or expectations I had , but still worth watching if only for the genuinely creepy vibe that is delivered so well . Maika and Cage were awesome. I liked the heightened audio in certain cases like being able to hear even the slightest footsteps , but some parts were way too loud. Hurt my ears . Overall, slightly disappointing by the end , but I wouldn’t absolutely say no to watching it again . We’ll see.
Longlegs promised creepy vibes and delivered decent suspense, though the scares were pretty familiar. Nicolas Cage is fun to watch as always, bringing his signature weird energy. Enjoyable, if not particularly groundbreaking.
The twist alone really ruined this film for me
Great movie. Very suspenseful
Dumb movie with dumb characters. Total waste of time.
Longlegs was a psychological horror thriller that keeps the hairs on your arms standing the entire time! Maika Monroe plays an incredible lead role as Lee Harker. The location and theme add to the suspense and cold cinematic feel that drive the feelings from the film.
It was genuinely unnerving and at times terrifying, yet the plotline was difficult to follow to the point where it seemed that it was not capable of being understood, which did increase the general sense of paranoia, but left me confused and slightly dissatisfied at the end, seeking a more fully formed narrative conclusion.
Was a little slow and confusing for me.
The biggest take away of this movie is, its very well acted and Nick Cage did a great job. But the story itself, and ending, really aren't believable or sensical in the first place; which kind of takes away from the creepy characters.
Maika Monroe is excellent and Nicholas Cage unhinged even by his standards in this atmospheric, deeply chilling psychological horror serial-killer thriller. Monroe is the young, maybe psychic, FBI agent who is part of a serial killer investigation that spans decades of murders of entire families. The sparse, cold screenplay and the brilliantly isolating and disorienting cinematography, score, and sound design all combine to disturbing and engrossing effect to produce a film that doesn't reply on jump scares, and is all the better for it. Blessed with the courage of its independent convictions, it's a film that seems to exist out of time; it's a good way into the film before a portrait of Bill Clinton above a desk gives an indication of when this is set - and even then, unless I missed something, that's as much we're told. Pretty much everything about this is destabilising, leaving the viewer on shifting sands and unstable foundations.
The tension build up is incredible, and I found the main character extremely endearing, but I feel they could have done more with the story. There were things that didn't add up for me, that I feel like only existed because the story required it, rather than it making sense in what they've already established.
Made me cream in the theater
