Longlegs is an interesting film. It's sometimes good, sometimes scary, and sometimes laughably goofy. The marketing for the film was undoubtedly the greatest thing about it. It was so overhyped and well sold that I was convinced I'd be seeing a movie completely different than the one I just saw a few hours ago. The end result wasn't bad at all, it's just.. not the ultimate horror fright fest it was made out to be. The critics, filmmakers, and Nicolas Cage all raved about how Cage is unrecognizable and how he gives a skin crawling performance that you wouldn't be able to tell was him. I'm just gonna break the news and say that you can definitely tell it's Cage and he absolutely makes it a very Nicolas Cage role. He did a great job but I really wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to find him hilarious or terrifying. It was a memorable performance but I was way more puzzled and confused than scared. The rest of the movie is beautifully shot, scored, and paced. The story is riddled with plot holes galore and the twist veers into pretty silly territory. It's a good movie but it's not the scariest film of the decade or even the whole year.
