Longlegs 2024

Certainly unsettling!

There's a fair bulk of awning time accustomed to Bill Clinton in this thriller. Luckily, there are no cigars to be apparent as his Presidential visage looks bottomward on FBI abettor "Carter" (Blair Underwood). He's in allegation of an analysis attractive into the annihilation of absolute families in their homes. There's no affirmation of any third affair anywhere, with the ancestor consistently activate accepting dead himself afterwards slaughtering aloof about anybody else. Thing is, adolescent abettor "Harker" (Maika Monroe) thinks that there's way added to it than that. She's got a array of sixth faculty back it comes to these things and anon she and "Carter" are on the aisle of the eponymous appearance (the sparingly acclimated but able Nicolas Cage) who may - or may not - be the antecedent of some cryptic letters larboard abreast the armpit of anniversary atrocity. Central to her theories are some eerily attractive dolls. There are adolescent size, altogether fabricated with ceramics and accommodate abstruse aluminium spheres. What's the purpose of them? It turns out that "Harker" ability be able to arm-twist some answers from her mother "Ruth" (Alicia Witt). She's not absolutely the abounding shilling but as the detective recalls an appointment with a drifter abounding years earlier, we activate to admiration if mum ability be added involved... It's arbitrary this adventure with elements that accomplish faculty and others that bound about authoritative it about absurd to amount out who's accomplishing what to whom nor, added importantly, why? The rather barbarous accident does let it down. It's rushed and serves to ample in years account of artifice with bristles account of chat - indeed, I couldn't advice but admiration if a aftereffect was in the annihilation as the adventure captivated all too abruptly. Monroe delivers able-bodied here, as does columnist Andres Arochi who helps actualize an about claustrophobic atmosphere to add absolutely a bit of astriction to the plot. It's not abnormally scary, but it takes a altered access to creating abhorrence for the apperception rather acknowledgment the eyes - and it works absolutely well.

I had fun. It's fun. Hail Satan! Any Satan cine is appealing aerial on my list. Was a air-conditioned cool Satan kid in aerial school. All Anton LaVey book letters and stuff. It's a accomplished Satan movie.

I was absolutely acquisitive this would accomplish up for the ashen abeyant of Oddity (2024), and it absolutely did. Longlegs (2024) mixes elements of abstruse pseudoscience with the "Devil fabricated me do it" Satanic agitation to bear a acceptable apathetic bake abstruseness area the Devil is absolutely authoritative them do it. Nicholas Cage delivers a abuse acceptable achievement as the titular Longlegs and it's nice to see Kiernan Shipka in yet addition "psycho" role afterwards The Blackcoat's Daughter (2017). MaXXXine (2024) is abutting on my list. _Please don't disappoint_. ♪ Let me in now and it can be nice! Accomplish me go now and I'll accept to appear back, not once, not twice, but as abounding times as I like! **SPOILERS BELOW!** Y'know, if Ruth had aloof attempt this !@#$er, we could've abhorred a lot of bloodshed. Also, kids, don't be Agent Browning. It's important to be acquainted of your surroundings. This arena is apparently the affliction blackmailer in this movie. Also, also, blink and you'll absence it, but the Devil does a attending off in the ambit back Lee turns to investigate the aboriginal gunshot.

Nicolas Cage proves afresh with this cine that he can comedy any role after problems. He's such a accomplished actor... He's nailing his role in this movie. Cine itself is aberrant and interesting. And if you're one of those bodies who brand aberrant abhorrence movies, you will like this movie. I alone enjoyed it.

I afresh ventured to the cinema and bent a screening of the latest cerebral thriller, "Longlegs." The blur delves into the askance apple of a consecutive analgesic who is believed to be bedevilled by Satan, application his aroused abilities to ambition adolescent girls built-in on the 14th of the month. He ability these girls a doll, which charcoal asleep and silent, confined as a adverse commencement to their approaching doom. Nicolas Cage portrays the ambiguous killer, actualization sporadically throughout the cine in an abashing all-white ensemble with anemic face acrylic and hair. His awesome arrangement of "Happy Birthday" and abashing gestures add to the film's air-conditioned atmosphere, abrogation admirers on bend about his abeyant accomplice. "Longlegs" exudes a awakening vibe evocative of 1980s cinema, with a arrant beheld appearance that may not bell with abreast audiences. The aimless cinematography and truncated framing add to the film's abashing nature, creating a faculty of anxiety amid viewers. The advance extra delivers a achievement that feels uncomfortably raw, as if she herself is grappling with the character's turmoil. Her assuming adds to the all-embracing ache of the film, abrogation audiences analytic the admeasurement of her character's possession. While the blur does action resolution on the character of "Longlegs," it ultimately avalanche abbreviate of recommendation. As a cinephile who appreciates the nuances of filmmaking, I begin "Longlegs" defective in actuality and ball value. While alone tastes may vary, I adopt films that appoint and allure from alpha to finish, rather than abrogation me activity disenchanted or disturbed. "Longlegs" artlessly did not adjust with my preferences or expectations for a acute accurate experience.

Oz Perkins is able and brilliant. And also, what new cryptic accent is that?

A abhorrence blur which excels in the cinema. Genuinely alarming with a abundant atmosphere, a abundant script, and one of Cage's best able performances. Monroe is excellent, as is Perkins' score. Banger 4/5
