Longlegs 2024

★★★★★

Watched 13 Jul 2024

This was outstanding. Genuinely creepy, genuinely scary, genuinely disturbing, taut and suspenseful. Nicolas Cage is indeed incredible, somehow still finding new depths and layers in his performances, but Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, and Alicia Witt are also excellent.

Like all of Oz Perkins’s films before (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House, and Gretel & Hansel, all highly recommended) it’s atmospheric in a distinctly unsettling way and shot so well that he can make a simple hallway look like the scariest place on Earth.

For me it has jumped to the top of the horror class of 2024 so far, and this has already been a year that is quite strong for horror.

It’s also the fourth wide-release movie this year (after Immaculate, The First Omen, and Late Night with the Devil) to prominently feature Satan, so I’m not quite sure how to take that!
