Longlegs 2024

★★★★★

Watched 11 Jul 2024

twistin’ and burnin’ and twistin’ and burnin’ in hell. forever. 

longlegs… longlegs… longlegs. my most anticipated movie of the year. 

i feel. unnerved. i can’t say the movie itself was AS scary as early reviews suggested, at least not to me, but what i can tell you is that you will likely leave feeling… strange. uncomfortable. like a million daddy longlegs crawling on your skin.

there was a bit of humor interjected in there, which i didn’t expect, but it doesn’t last for very long and it doesn’t really take you out of it at any point. the tension is constantly creeping up and there’s always a sense that something is waiting, watching. following our protagonist but you can’t see it. you just know it’s there. 

nicolas cage is incredible, of course. he’s absurdly creepy and occasionally just absurd in his delivery. something about the way he delivers his lines always makes me crack a smile no matter how horrific he is. and don’t worry nic cage enthusiasts, there’s a scene where he screams. several actually. it’s a necessity in any horror film he’s in i think, might be in his contract. and maika, wow. she delivered a powerhouse performance. constantly on edge, questioning everything. always scared, but determined to figure out what’s going on. 

overall, absolutely fantastic performances. creepy score. beautiful cinematography. dreadful atmosphere and tension. the finale was especially tension inducing, i was gripping my seat. 

amazing film.
