Greyson McIntyre’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Longlegs," written and directed by Oz Perkins, is a captivating horror film that I had the privilege of seeing at an almost packed 8:30 p.m. showing. The anticipation in the theater was palpable, with everyone buzzing until the moment the production logo appeared and silence fell. The way everyone was so tuned into the film, wanting no distractions is something I haven't fully felt in a theater in a long time. The film completely blew me away. The decision to keep Nicholas Cage out of the marketing was a bold and thrilling choice, adding to the movie's suspense and excitement.
Nicholas Cage’s performance is nothing short of magnificent. Without giving away any spoilers, I can say his portrayal is deeply unsettling. His work in "Longlegs" disturbed me in the best way possible. Cage's presence is perfectly balanced, leaving a lasting impact without overstaying. The film also boasts strong performances from Maika Monroe and Blair Underwood, who add depth to the narrative. Monroe’s portrayal of FBI agent Lee Harker is particularly intriguing, with her character’s quirks and offbeat nature contributing to the film's overall sense of dread. Oz Perkins’ direction, combined with the film's haunting sound design and surreal visuals, creates a hypnotic and chilling atmosphere that is reminiscent of classic serial killer movies. "Longlegs" is a film I can't wait to watch again, as it encapsulates the essence of horror and suspense in a uniquely captivating way.
