Longlegs Review: Does It Live Up To The Hype?

Published 2024-07-04
Osgood Perkins, the son of the iconic Psycho star Anthony Perkins, has crafted one of the darkest, most nihilistic horror movies I’ve seen in years. A fellow critic turned to me as the credits rolled as asked me, “dude, did we just see a classic?” While it’s too early to say, I nevertheless found myself deeply shaken by this nightmarish thriller.

    Seeing Nicholas Cage go from a demented revenge driven husband to a quiet reserved janitor fighter to a goofy interpretation of Dracula to a hideous insane killer just shows his insane acting skill
  • @47bloodhound
    The fact that you used a photo of gary glitter to describe Nicholas Cage's character lets me know how f*cuked up he'll be
  • @FredCracklin
    Longlegs, Maxxxine, and Nosferatu all in the same year, a good time for horror fans.
  • @fakirpoo
    I thought this was going to be a monster movie about a giant spider.
  • Thank you for not spoiling this and respecting fans need to see it for themselves.
  • This and Robert Eggers Nosferatu are the two films I'm looking forward to, longlegs looks like it'll be more unnerving.
  • @Stevo0929
    These comments are wild. Either people loved it, or they aggressively, AGGRESSIVELY, hated it. It may not have been the scariest movie I’ve ever seen but I liked how dark the themes were and it kept me interested the whole time. Overall I have to say I really liked this one.
  • @sophial.6633
    Maika owns the horror genre. I have faith that above all: she will deliver. The cast is refined and smart, so I will go into this excited but cautious. Can’t wait.
  • We need an intense horror movie that’s going to make you feel uneasy, thinking about it at night. That’s how I want it to be. This has a feeling to it that it might be good. I hope so
  • @wstine79
    I can't wait to see this movie.
  • @choppabrown3741
    There are ppl who seen it at a early screen saying that the movie is really good but also disturbing
  • @joekae1841
    Last time I got so hyped was before A night with the devil, which was a huge disappointment imo. Hope longlegs delivers.
  • @pilotman463
    Does the sound design in the trailer play similarly in the film? Cause that scary breathing and Hoo Hoo from Cage is so good
  • You have me starving for this movie when I was already drooling with anticipation. How dare. (Great job)
  • @colmobrien9558
    Delighted I watched this now. I have been looking forward to this film since I first heard about it and I'm glad that such positive things were said about it.

    Blackcoat's daughter was such a haunting experience. It does not contain lots of jumpscares but the atmosphere was so well built..... I cannot express how much I wait for this and especially to see Nic as Longlegs.
  • I have no idea how you enjoyed this so much, I was so utterly disappointed in this movie. I love me a slow burn, but by the half way point I was hoping I could just fall asleep so as to not irritate my girlfriend with how bored I was. The final act was so goddamn dumb that I can't recommend this movie to anyone.
  • I can’t wait!!! Looks fantastic and I’m a huge fan of Seven & Silence of the Lambs.
