I really liked how little they explained that aspect, how it spread or why, pretty great show-don’t-tell. Blair Underwood was sublime, he f***ing killed it

Allows the viewer to retain something new out of each and every watch.

I love when films do that s***

Fantastic movie. Cage is menacing.

I was sleepy going into my morning screening, but when ”it” started in the title sequence I had to lock in.

All the usual aspects for a film were done very well. Speciifcally to horror, I liked the religiosity of it and the ambiguity that they maintained through it. Usually movies with the undertones always over explain but there wasn’t much explanation about the 7 heads ten crowns. Felt good to still have some mystery. Speaking about mystery, do yall think Lee was entranced by the doll at the end? Could see that as a real possibility

To just finish up and elaborate on what I didn’t like…

I wasn’t invested in the characters, the tone was confused, and the plot relied on a lot of contrivances. I responded to most of the third act with a big shrug. Like, and… Most of what it offered was aesthetics, but beyond that it didn’t have a cohesive point of view with much to say. Sure, you could work out some thesis about religious trauma and how it effects women and children, but it feels shallow at best. Most of all, though... I just wasn't scared.

I’ve said my piece. Y’all have fun.

Yeah this was f***ing great

That was f***ing unsettling man

Nicolas Cage gives probably what is the most terrifying performance of his career as Longlegs. Some real spine tingling s*** comes from him. On top of the general fear I felt/am feeling, the serial killer mystery at the core was well done. The imagery laced throughout the film is chilling. Combine that with a good score to accompany the film and you got some moments that won’t leave your brain. Even I didn’t expect this film to pan out the way it did based on the one trailer I saw. Longlegs may very well be the best horror/thriller of the year and I’ll stand by that.

5/5

seems like I may be in the minority again?

Alien preview before the movie

when the doll was draped in the veil and you could see those red eyes through it

Second-most terrifying behind Wicker Man. I was scared by how bad that movie was

I just said pretty much the same thing. So creepy

In that scene when theyre talking about cutting the cake and theyre kinda bickering and shes like “haha so sorry well be right back 😅” and hes like “no Ill be back, youll still be in the kitchen” was soul sucking

Didn’t stick the landing imo

This was a good movie but much more of a thriller with horror aspects than a flat out horror film. That being said i enjoyed it a lot and the cinematography and acting performances were A1. This is a lot better than hereditary which i saw some people comparing it too.

This is not better than Hereditary.

Nah I feel the same way.

the goat

What I liked most was the setting and atmosphere. Act I was the best part

I'm excited for Shelby Oaks too

I think people in my showing hated it lmao. Thought it was pretty good.

I like Chris. I don’t care that he’s soft on films. He’s just likable.

Hereditary actually had a super complex and important message about empathy / freewill. Everything about it was intentional. It was innovative. It had compelling characters. It had one of the best performances in the entire genre. Y’all ain’t f***in with Hereditary. Not even close.

Oz sounds kinda lame

On the one hand, I want to identify or atone with the father by going down the same path and representing the good name in the genre in question, but then I also have a sort of a distaste for it,” Perkins explains. “I wouldn’t say I’m someone who likes or dislikes horror movies. I don’t see new ones. I have no interest. I’ll never see “MaXXXine”, I’ll never see “Pearl”. I saw “X” for reasons; it wasn’t on purpose. I don’t see contemporary things. They don’t interest me at all, and that’s not to say that they aren’t great. I’m sure they are great and make a lot of people happy, which is all that really matters. But I like the horror genre because it’s the genre that permits the most invention and it encourages the most poetry. It’s all guessing and grasping at what is essentially unknowable.
