    Blackcoat's daughter already made me believe about the capability of Oz Perkins to create such a haunting atmosphere around his films which lacks in recent horror movies! The marketing of this movie in itself is so brilliant even if the movie would not be that good, I don't care, whomever is behind this marketing deserves an Oscar! The fact that all in all we already have 8 minutes trailers in total and we still don't know about the look of Nic is amazing......

    I just watched this last night at my local Theater and it was brilliant, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I was constantly searching the frame for clues or for someone to be standing in the shadows ready to jump at you. I love how they live by the ‘less is more’ motto and withhold a lot of information so you’re kept guessing. I wasn’t too into the plot explanation that happens at one point or some of the twists, but overall this is a very effective horror for me and definitely will get a hold of a physical copy when it comes out.

    My hype was through the roof for this movie after seeing the marketing, and it squandered my enjoyment. Especially after how much I liked the Blackcoat's Daughter. Longlegs is not "the scariest movie in a decade", nor is it "highly disturbing". It is a modern rendition of Silence of the Lambs, and I don't understand how some people are saying it's not. It was marketed to be a different movie, similar to how they did "It Comes at Night". They marketed that as a horror movie and it turned out to be an apocalypse movie.

  • @PointsofReview

    I found it to be pretty disturbing, but I agree that much of the marketing about it being "the scariest movie of the decade" is quite misleading. The general audience will likely be disappointed with it, but I still think it demonstrates some fairly strong directorial instincts from Perkins.

    Either the hype is real or they did a phenomenal job at making ppl wanna see it. I really am worried though that everyone who loves it prefaces it by saying “you will love it or hate it depending on your opinion of the genres”. I’ve loved some of Osgood Perkins films and some I’ve hated. And tbh the ones I’ve hated were praised as well. Just hope it comes close to the hype though I think the SotL comparisons aren’t beneficial.

You just need to know beforehand what you getting yourself in to, I think people with common logic will realise this isn't for them and go see Inside Out 2 instead (which is a great film) but that film is more for everybody if you know what I mean, like anybody can go see Inside Out 2 and come out of the theater satisfied, because it that type of film to please the Public (General audience) while Longlegs is to challenge the public.

    I love Nic Cage and I am a huge fan of good horror (not franchise or slasher stuff). I would love to see this in a theater, but I don't have a friend who likes horror and it's not a film that I would be comfortable seeing alone. Going to movies by myself used to be my favorite treat, but now that I am old (almost 77) and I have to move slowly and park in handicapped spaces due to polyarthritis. I don't feel confident about seeing a horror film alone, even during the day. There are so many nutballs and just plain thieves that seek out weaker people to prey upon. So sadly, I will have to wait for the DVD or On Demand. In the meantime I have Blackcoat's Daughter on my DVR and I haven't seeen Pig yet so I can see that for $2.99 On Demand. One character that you didn't mention is Lee's mother played by Alicia DeWitt. She is an actress I enjoy and she doesn't work a lot. I hear that she is very good in Longlegs. Thank you for your thoughtful and balanced review. I have heard from other reviewers as well that Longlegs is a film that gets to you in a way that requires processing over time. I enjoy character driven stories far more than plot heavy ones, especially in the horror genre. It's not exactly a horror movie, or even a thriller, but Dream Scenario is Nic's most recent film where he creates a character that we are both drawn to and repelled by. It's a remarkable film that I recommend to literally everyone. I will not be a bit surprised if Nic is nominated for an Academy Award for this performance. This is Kristoffer Borgli's first English language movie and he has a promising career ahead of him. I smashed those Like and Subscribe buttons! 😀

    I think that might be a bit of an oversimplification. I will say, its "style" is incredibly strong - the art direction, editing, camera movement, sound design, grading, etc., all are phenomenal. Some of the plot "beats", dialogue, and performances are not to that same level, but there's still enough "substance" to elevate it over similar pictures.
