LONGLEGS

I didn't know much about Longlegs at all going into the theaters. I had watched one trailer, but I've heard that there have been multiple trailers out. I didn't bother to watch them because I didn't want the movie to be given away at any chance. I wanted to be surprised, but I am still in shock. I had a great feeling this would be one of those movies, especially since it was so packed in the theater. I've never seen a theater so packed and long, and the anticipation was so heightened. I like the concept of Longlegs, and Nicolas Cage did a spectacular job playing long legs. It was so creepy to see Longlegs and how she goes about his way of killing people and joking about it. It reminded me of Art The Clown from Terrifier and his way of joking, laughing, creeping up on you, and being playful. I loved it. I thought it was genius and very bizarre. His face was frightening, his body movements and the way he spoke were wild and chaotic, and his way of thinking, his choice of religion, and his intelligence were alarming. Longlegs terrifies me, and I like how we discover why it's called Longlegs at the movie's beginning. I was so excited and mesmerized that not one person looked at a phone screen at all during the movie. It's not your typical jump-scare horror, which is why many people will have a different opinion than me about this film. We're so used to those typical jump-scare movies. But we also have to remember there are psychological and thriller films that don't contain any jump scares, and for this one, they didn't necessarily need a jump scare. It had so much suspense in the beginning sequence, starting with a substantial red screen and a quote from someone, and it's silent, and you can hear a pin drop in the theater. It's eerie, horrifying, and confusing because you don't know what will happen.

They did a great job of keeping you on your toes at all times; you never knew where the movie was going to go and what direction it was going to go in, and it was terrific to see precisely the protagonist, Agent Lee Harker, who is an entirely different person than her job which is an FBI agent she's reserved, she's socially awkward she is introverted and very skittish call when she has the FBI agent jacket on; she is WORKING. She is locked in and dedicated and transforms into a different person. It's incredible and fascinating to watch. I love it. I loved watching her every second on the screen. Maika Monroe is the perfect person to play this role, and she did it so phenomenally that it almost felt like she wasn't active anymore; it was beautiful. I loved every second of her acting; she was spectacular, and this film is for everyone who is a fan of the movie Prisoners, The Silence of the Lambs, or even The Lovely Bones I was getting that kind of flashback to. It is probably the best movie I've seen in a very long time from beginning to end; it is astonishing: the editing, the visuals, the camera angles, and the scenery shots of Vancouver. It was chilly and foggy. It was so quiet and disturbing. I loved every second of it. I felt like I was present at that moment in every moment, and I have nothing wrong to say about this movie. I can't find anything foul to say, and I loved it more because I didn't know a lot going on, and that made it more and more intriguing for me and very fun, and it was amazing to watch. Longlegs is this generation's Silence of the Lambs. And if you love that movie, you will love Longlegs even more.
