Loved the foreshadowing of Carie Anne telling Lee that she’s been to the Camera farm before. Or at least someone who looks like her has (ie: Lee’s mother).
Husband: "Would you like to join me in the kitchen honey?" Wife: "sorry, ill be right back" Husband: "No ill be right back, youll still be in the kitchen" That dialogue was badass. great movie, creepy as hell.
Is it the “scariest” or “creepiest” movie of all time time like people are saying? No. Not even close. But it’s filled with disturbing imagery and the twist/reveal to tie it all together was amazing. I think it’s gonna be a classic.
I mean i wouldnt call it scary perse, tense,creepy and dread filled for sure! Is it a beat all of its ilk? No. But to me its up there. Top 10, if not top 5 in the genre in my book. Def one of the best supernatural thrillers/serial killer movies ive seen in a long time!
@@nyc443 Missin out. Dont let one persons review dictate whether you think youll like a movie or not. At the very least check it out when it hits streaming/available to rent.
Maybe one of Longlegs' goals was to transcend his physical body. He put a bit of his own soul in every metal ball that he put into the dolls. It's why he says, “ I won't only be in here - I'll be a little bit of everywhere. Waiting...in the wings...in the Father's wings!” He then kills himself, knowing his evil spirit and influence lives on. It's his soul on the telephone that tells Lee about Ruby's birthday party. A part of Longlegs' spirit is in Ruby's doll. And it's implied that the spirit of Longlegs possesses Lee at the end of the movie. It's why he blows a kiss to the audience at the very end, as if to say “We did it. The Man Downstairs and I won.” Of course, that's all just a metaphor to show that it doesn't matter if evil people like Longlegs physically die - their evil, and the consequences of their evil, live on long after them.
She didn’t run out of ammo. She only fired 3 times, cylinder should have had 5 or 6 depending. Plus revolvers don’t jam like autos do. The rounds in the chamber didn’t fire because supernatural forces were at play.
@@Billie64 considering she just watched her mum murder another agent I don't think she was best prepared. Obvious explanation is usually the most correct. Not everything has a hidden subtext
@@robinlove6981 no you’re right, the final moment of the film totally wouldn’t have hidden subtext. It’s not like the whole movie has had paranormal elements and hidden subtext.
I agree with most people that this movie wasn’t very scary, frankly I thought it was a bit of a slow burn. But at the same time, this is probably one of the only movies that has been able to genuinely disturb and upset me and I don’t know why. I almost walked out of the theater to breathe and get away from it for a minute. Good horror for me personally.
I saw LongLegs yesterday and absolutely loved it. It’s now in my top 5 horror/thriller movies of all time. It didn’t scare me but the tension and dread it instilled in every scene was awesome. Like I said I loved this film. I want to see it again.
not necessarily, because she’s half-psychic before it’s about longlegs…i feel like the devil being inside of her a little or something like that makes more sense, like she could catch bad guys coz the devil is apart of those crimes? but she could’ve been psychic beforehand, as this creator suggested, and that was why he wanted her
I think she was able to find clues by association, meaning being fed all of the cult leaders’ freaky way of coding letters, subliminal messages from her mommy and some how (which I still don’t understand) she was personally linked to long legs. She never revealed her association with the killer because she kept a lot of secrets from her boss. When questioned by her boss she kept being evasive/generic with her answers. The ending revealed some answers but not all.
@@joannewright4572if I understood right, she did not remember anything because there was also a doll of herself at her childhood house. The doll/spirit have some level of control over her like the rest of the girls who were targeted
I think it’s Satan himself guiding Lee. Like longlegs mention he had a laughed about her joining FBI. And Lee mention her hunches felt like tap on shoulder aka Satan
God, i want to love this movie so much. It was sitting at an 8 or 9 until the 3rd act. It felt so rushed and undercut the mystery by staight up saying, "Satan did it." I would've been happier with a final confrontation with longlegs leading to his death and a bunch of unanswered questions. Which would've made the audience debate if it was actually Satan or just a crazy guy(to me, that's a more interesting conversation). All in all 6/10
Yeah i thought the exact same, the big explanation scene was kind of annoying , i feel like directors or maybe the studios feel like audiences cant handle any ambiguity. It would have made it much more legendary and thought provoking if they left some of it unexplained. Nic Cage was amazing in it though I thought.
@@thehotel5758 Agree it was a mess plot wise. Soooo many holes. But great acting and cinematography and atmosphere. It was a 6/10 - that's not bad, but it was an 8 or a 9 for me until the half baked conclusion that doesn't tie up any of the loose plot threads. I think they threw a lot of spooky ideas in a basket (secret codes, killings in a date pattern, possessed dolls, Satan worship) and shook the basket real hard and wherever the ideas landed was the script. None of it is -really- tied together. You could ask why any of what happens in the movie is happening (that was my question). And it turns out the motive was as simple as "Hail Satan" because... ooooh, spooky. Why the coded notes? Why the elaborate date pattern? What was the endgame?
I went into this movie somewhat blind, having only watched the trailer once. Didn’t want to spoil it for myself. To be quite honest I think this is one of the most terrifying movies I HAVE seen in my 31 years. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Nicholas Cage was unrecognizable and disturbing.
@@raggarbosse3207 yep. I remember a time when people actually analyzed movies like Enemy and Only God Forgives, going into the metaphores and meaning instead of describing what you just literally been watching.
I foreshadowed the end scene when Lee was invited to her partners house and met his daughters. She invited Lee to her bday party and I knew it would go bad.
A little over hyped, but still good. It's more creepy and unnerving, than scary. The 3rd Act was good, but I was personally hoping it didn't go in that direction. It's a played out trope, even if the twist was good (tho, me and my friend called it immediately when "Ms Ruby" showed up). Up until the 3rd Act/Chapter, it felt like Remedy studio game. Maika Monroe gave me big Jesse Faden from Control vibes. Grounded, but supernatural. The ending made it into a different movie lol.
Yes, and the ending did seem much more boringly similar to the same tired tropes from both better horror movies like Hereditary and worse horror films like The Conjuring movies. Not innovative at all. Certainly not in the league of SE7EN or SILENCE OF THE LAMBS to which, for some reason, critics insist on comparing this film.
@@TheJohnnyCalifornia I could see the Hannibal vibes, if this became a series of movies and we saw Lee become more twisted and nihilistic as she tried to raise Ruby and solve murders. Maybe.
The film after I let it settle made sense. It's kinda a feature length shock visualization in a world shook by a possession. Sure cage is the vikian but the ai called villain gives himself ups, cooperates and lives as a law abiding citizen. He's. Clearly pisses, curse to carry out the devil work and like the mother have crafted a way to use possession as a means to get others to do the dirty work. I saw Kong legs as a tortured tournamented man's only driven crazy by his cursed purpose. Does that excuse his actions ? By no means I think the character is responsible for unleashing the evil. I think the film it self acts as a conduit of some sort or gateway for evil.
@@blackmanwithcomputer You know, - potential spoilers - the "surprise" villain was more interesting than Longlegs himself. I was never really scared or creeped out by Longlegs in the film as he never lived up to the way the trailers set him up. Just a somewhat effeminate serial killer about as well developed as a comic book villain. And the fact that he's a Satanist added little. On the other hand, the entire "it's Satanic" reveal is a bit tired and honestly kinda laughable. At least movies like Hereditary or The Last Exorcism add a little bit to it, but considering we've had actual cult murders and other violence from Jonestown to Branch Davidians to all sorts of New Age cults and even Hare Krishnas, but horror movies like this one and the Conjuring series still use Satanists as the villains is just kinda eye-rolling. Like most possession films (except The Evil Dead) it never really lands for me. He might as well been a member of the Cult of Cthulhu - at least that would have been a little more interesting if not any more original. However, "Mother Exposition" came off a lot more complex and insidious as far as her relation to the protagonist.
I think he made a deal early in his career with some nefarious force and wanted out. The way out was lengthy service to evil. That sounds miserable, once any glamor gained wears off. When he finished "the work" he could be in control of his body again and, in this case, get some rest.
I feel like the ending was kinda sudden, I thought it would go more into explaining how Lee killing her mother would affect their cursedness, or how the kid would end up with both of her parents dead and her numb. I thought it would be longer because of the marketing, I didn’t see it before but my friend told me about the scene where Maikas heart reached 170bpm, and figured it would be because of some jumpscare at the end, so I was kinda waiting for that to happen not realized it was during her interrogation. Still an amazing movie that disturbed me quite a bit
i was in a really serious mood watching it because i was expecting it to be very scary, then afterwards I realised it was a legendary nick cage comedy. I am desperate for the nick cage scenes to be uploaded because i kinda forgot exactly what he said, and need to reminisce and quote those scenes in fits of laughter
This was a great movie, the marketing was just way too good. It did not need the “scariest movie of the decade” promo. Whoever thought that was a good idea is an idiot. The whole time I was watching I was waiting to get scared so the marketing could live up to the hype. But it never happened, it’s for sure creepy as hell but not scary to an average 25 year old man. A nice creepy story that ended kind of fast. But not fast enough to where you discredit the whole movie. Visually 10/10 Plot 7/10 Pacing 6/10 Suspense 9/10 Scary 3/10
Fully agree. Everything felt quite shallow and brief. The paranormal and serial k*lIer stuff were short, longlegs appearance was shortlived and they didn’t explain so many things. It would be much more interesting to find out how longlegs came about and also more details about the devil and its purpose etc
I thought it was a great psychological thriller and kept you on edge I swear. It’s different categories of horror. For this genre of horror it was amazing
I absolutely loved this movie. I think the only reason anyone is negative on it is because they went in thinking “let’s see the greatest movie of the decade”. You’ll always be disappointed going in like that. It’s human nature. I didn’t like Gladiator that much the first time I watched it for the same reason. It ended up being a top 5 of all time movie for me. Longlegs is GREAT
I feel like this is an intimate trauma story and the tone stays so dark and macabre that you never get a break. Those kinds of films stick with you for years and keep people talking.
----SPOILERS--- My take on the ending is that we are witnessing the whole process begin again. In the opening scene, Long legs chose/knew Lee (even as a child) to be his eventual successor and her mother to be his apprentice. In the ending, Lee has taken Longlegs mantle, with the detectives daughter becoming her eventual successor. As for her apprentice, we, the audience, just took the mother’s role. We witnessed the act and ensured it was done. And we now, in essence, discuss and “spread” it. My other thought is that Lee has possibly been the living embodiment of satan the whole time. As a child, Lee seemed to sense Longlegs arrival to her house. And there are her mother’s numerous references of never having any friends or family come visit. When Longlegs looks at Lee and says, “Hail, satan”, it might not have been just a vocal declaration of his loyalty to death, but a direct salute to Lee, his master, after she told him that his “work was done”. And if I’m not mistaken, take a look at the barn doors (x marks the spot). The insignia on the barn doors (the one that is the actual design of the door; not the little x’s) is the same symbol pictured in the 9 levels of hell book that is shown a few scenes prior - (the symbol under the inverted triangle).
Not so sure how this makes sense. Lee could not be the devil. She might have supernatural powers that Longlegs was able to sense of Lee as a young girl which made him obsessed with her
The doll discovery that was insightful. What a mother wouldn't do to save her child! I believe the little girl must've gotten possessed as will at the end because she kept hugging the doll and didn't even scream or cry when her mother was being murdered.
I loved this film, it had a very eerie atmosphere and was very disturbing and creepy. deserves a 10. not sure what people expected from the marketing, I think everyone is being so toxic to rate this anything lower than an 8
I might be absolutely completely misinterpreting the ending…BUT. I’m choosing to look deeper into that running out of bullets, there’s no way it’s a coincidence, it’s emphasized too much to be just nothing. What I interpret it is, throughout the film the killers of the families murder and suicide while being confused and not in control. What I think happened is Lee is in a trance and the devils making her see what they want her to see. That Carter is trying to murder his family. Long story short, she shoots carter 2 times and he mom once, that’s what we see. 3 bullets left… I believe in reality Lee actually killed carters wife, daughter, and then herself. I left the theater with this interpretation and it absolutely had me satisfied and excited, even if it comes out to be a stretch or “wrong” I’m gonna continue to believe it😭
My interpretation is that Harker makes a deal with the devil in the last scene, just as Harkers mom made a deal in order to keep her daughter alive to grow up. I think Harker in that moment was presented with a gift, ultimately a decision, the same decision the villain told harker she would have during the interrogation scene. I think its either she kills the girl, or she keeps the doll around and continues the work to keep the girl alive.
I thought Carter went to the kitchen and fully stabbed and killed his wife. If she shot everyone once shoot to kill everyone including herself that’s 5, where was the last bullet shot? I think Longlegs “everywhere presence” is now infecting the Lee and little girl in the end Master/Apprentice
So are Lee and Ruby's birthdays both on the 14th? I don't remember if they were addressed in the movie, but since all the other child victims birthdays were I would assume so. How would Lee and Carter never address or recognize this throughout the film knowing about the pattern of the victims birthdays?
@@chadcognac5626 Lee not realizing is explained because at one point it says that her doll's influence on her is causing her to see what it wants to see and not see what it doesn't want her to see. why tf Carter didn't connect the dots, i have no clue
I THINK LONGLEGS IS LEE'S FATHER!!! i found it strange that her father was not mentioned the whole movie. the father could have left them early on in lee's life then returned with that plastic surgery look which could explain y they thought he was a stranger. it could be a play on word association with the spider daddy lonlegs. otherwise y name the killer that random word. anyone else agree? any other evidence? i have not heard this theory yet
@@LisaMason70why did he sign his letters longlegs then? What sort of explanation is that lol, ‘it’s not randomly named because he signs his letter that way’ like what?
This movie just has a good unsettling vibe that is consistent throughout. Just very foreboding and tense more than anything. Some of the best/scary parts are when Nicolas Cage is on screen. Dude plays a very good serial killer.
I thought Nicolas Cage is acting and make up were way over the top. Have you ever seen someone that actually looks like this in real life he looks like a deformed transvestite and the female actress was terrible. She basically didn’t act. She just stared blankly into the screen through every Shot and you’re supposed to believe her mother the hoarder who barely leaves the house is walking around still knocking on peoples doors giving them dolls. It’s just such a ridiculous storyline and Nicolas Cage act like a crazy person. It’s so over the top. The whole movie was terrible. The only thing was the cinematography, it looked more like a real setting then some of the enhanced movies today other than that, it sucked
thought the agent was going to fall under the influence of the demon as she kept on getting more deep in the investigation and there’d be a big final event like how Hereditary destroyed their house. Still somewhat better than Mandy and those movies
I don't think you can understand the movie without accepting that it definitely has supernatural influences in it. It's not only human based like Silence of the Lambs.
Only problem with one scene is when they are searching the attic in barn while it is stormy and dark outside, but when they hit the attic part, it has sunlight coming down from two roof windows.
I agree! but now reading possible theories as to why she didnt do it... It might be that Lee was Satan itself all along... allowing Carter to kill his wife, Lee herself killing him afterwards and protecting both girl and doll. By keeping the doll and the girl safe she is able to keep the ritual going.
Maybe that's why they made the girl embrace it in the movie and put her head on its shoulder, as it gave a reason not to shoot the doll right away as she could accidentally shoot the girl instead.
I thought it had a good feel and thought it was filmed very well. However, I thought Cage's performance was too much for how little we knew the character. It came off too corny for me, but that isn't his fault. The story or editing just didn't hit me.
When the partner gets domed, I thought “Hell yes, here we go!” Then the pursuit in the house and its overall plain and unremarkable backdrop made it so much more anxiety inducing and frightening!
Carter and his family were possessed or in the process of becoming so when Harker arrived. They were obviously off. I got annoyed by the dialogue about the birthday "cakes" though, like who has more than one cake?. "I'll cut the cakes, I'll cut the cakes "wasn't right at all.
They mentioned his luggage just contained notebooks that were full of writing and that it matched the handwriting on the letters left at the crime scenes
My only question.. Lee picks up the ringing phone after escaping the basement.. Is that supposed to be the literal devil on the phone? Or perhaps another accomplice if they want to do a sequel? Or is this just supposed to be open to our own interpretation. Or with Lee losing her mind, was the phone really ringing?
I agree with the idea that it wasn’t scary but unsettling. They made the movie off in a way. The dialogue was purposefully awkward and had lots of long pauses. Any time it introduces a concept it always makes something of it. The girl talked about her dad not wanting her to grow up, the mother also says that. The dolls all had a black veil and in the beginning scene they also had a black silhouette. That could be inferred to be the doll. The man the basement is always mentioned. And he was in the basement. The birthday party was mentioned and at the end it culminated at it. There were scenes that showed that long legs was not necessary evil or supernatural but simply corrupted and insane. Everything about it was specifically designed to be unsettling.
I don’t get the scene at 5:30 .. you’re telling me someone breaks in to ur home and leaves a note and you calmly sit down and read it and just assume he isn’t still in your house and won’t harm you? What was that
Were anyone annoyed by the jump scares in the film? I remember that one scene where Harker was going through the photos and all of a sudden BOOM a flashback to a distorted imagery of longlegs, which told us nothing. It wasn’t even scary. I almost went deaf in the cinema
Sounds like your cinema just isn't using good audio I was sitting right up the screen and audio system it had lots of bass as for the jumpscares they did feel kinda out of place but samething needed bc it was getting boring sometimes
@@matthewmcmeme I love that movie! And yeah, it has more than two, I know. It's just a general rule for me. Of course not every movie that has more than two is bad... I should have wrote my statement in a more nuanced way to allow for exceptions. My all time favorite horror movie, The Thing, has four or so. By way of example.
Having just come from the theater, I can honestly say that I was a bit underwhelmed. There was so much hype going into this film, that I REALLY wanted to be scared shitless. Instead, I heard myself laughing at some of Lee’s dead-pan dialogue, as well as when Longlegs asks the hardware cashier what her birthday was, and her response was “Dad, that creepy guy is here again” without ever really looking up from her magazine 😂 For the most part, however, it was really well done.
My biggest issue is i went in with the wrong idea of what this movie was even gonna be. After watching trailers i got the feeling that it was gonna be like long legs is some demon, not literally just some guy that yes has a supernatural aspect with being a satanist but at the end of the day is still just a guy. And with his bizarre appearance and behavior that we only got small glimpses of in those trailers the dude almost doesnt look human which drove this idea so deep in me that this is a catch the demon thing. I did not expect it to just be chasing this weird guy that worships satan. I thought this was gonna be a very different movie and was disappointed because i was drawn in so hard from the expectations the trailers gave me and got a different thing. Even with it ending up this way im not very impressed by the execution and think overall on practically every level whats here could have been done so much better. I think we got way too much of this extremely isolated "lets solve the puzzle and find the killer" and not nearly enough of the killings, impact of the killings on families/communities, the worlds general reaction to this killer being out there, etc. i think long legs should have been like an overbearing boogeyman to the world or atleast the area this takes place i think his killings were isolated to an area or something. But we didnt get any of that. It was extremely isolated to the main character and the fbi just solving the case like any other case out there. I think long legs needed to be bigger than that it feels underwhelming that he wasnt built up like this end all be all top priority of the FBI that puts an atmosphere of terror around anyone that knows he exists. I was mislead, underwhelmed, and overall just unimpressed by what i ended up getting. And its like the more i talk about it and the more i think about what it could have been and what i wanted it to be the more i hate it.
I thought he was going to be possessed by a demon after he died. But he just kind died and it was over for him. Watching it I thought the killings were going to be to summon a demon and he would be the vessel, but there was no real payoff.
I’m almost positive those silver balls are where the families souls were stored and that’s why once they are broken that girl goes back to normal and Lee feels that blur when hers is shot
I purposely avoided reading and watching a lot of the hype, just as I did with In A Violent Nature. I hated that flick but this one was pretty good. I can still enjoy movies even if I've read up on them a bit, but these 2 were mass hyped already. Another recent flick that I didnt know hardly anything about was They'll Never Find Me and it turned out to be pretty good shit.
@@austinburrowes8611 I think it’s a movie on whether you love it or didn’t and then some are in the middle. I think it was more tailored to a specific audience and I try to be very open and I definitely appreciate the work that was put in and see why people loved it but for me it didn’t hit and the ending didn’t hit as hard as I wanted it to.
There's not a movie on the planet that can scare me because I know what fear is when you're in a car accident like I was and the only thing left the person to hit you was his actual decapitated head stuck in the windshield of your car. Then that's the scariest thing you could ever imagine. Nothing in the movies or fictional world can top that. And yes, that was actually true what happened to me?
2 things drive me crazy in the plot. 1. If it is supernatural and the family kill themseleves why does longlegs need an accomplice? That would explain why there is no physical evidence of him at the scene. 2. Brushing off an old Polaroid at home does not warrant an arrest…
I think she only had “mind ability’s” lol I believe it was because she was infected by the doll. I mean she was under the trance of the doll the whole time movie right? Until her mom shoots it?
Great movie overall. Compared to other horrors of this decade its a 9/10 or a 10/10. Maybe even past 2 decades. Though it draws many techniques from earlier what film doesn't. It has an original premise that goes against the typical horror doll archetypes as the dolls are scary without having to actually be alive.

I saw LongLegs yesterday and absolutely loved it. It’s now in my top 5 horror/thriller movies of all time. It didn’t scare me but the tension and dread it instilled in every scene was awesome. Like I said I loved this film. I want to see it again.
Yesss
The reason Lee is so “psychic” is because long legs is feeding her the answers sub consciously
not necessarily, because she’s half-psychic before it’s about longlegs…i feel like the devil being inside of her a little or something like that makes more sense, like she could catch bad guys coz the devil is apart of those crimes? but she could’ve been psychic beforehand, as this creator suggested, and that was why he wanted her

Which makes no sense and is a plothole
God, i want to love this movie so much. It was sitting at an 8 or 9 until the 3rd act. It felt so rushed and undercut the mystery by staight up saying, "Satan did it." I would've been happier with a final confrontation with longlegs leading to his death and a bunch of unanswered questions. Which would've made the audience debate if it was actually Satan or just a crazy guy(to me, that's a more interesting conversation). All in all 6/10
Yeah i thought the exact same, the big explanation scene was kind of annoying , i feel like directors or maybe the studios feel like audiences cant handle any ambiguity. It would have made it much more legendary and thought provoking if they left some of it unexplained. Nic Cage was amazing in it though I thought.
@daviddoyle7580 100%. Nic cage is the main reason I want to give this a second watch.
Exactly how I felt. I was sitting at a solid 8 and by the time I left the theater I gave it an entertaining 6/10.
I agree. I wanted more of longlegs being a serial killer. Vs paranormal doll stuff. So I gave it 6/10 as well.
@@thehotel5758 Agree it was a mess plot wise. Soooo many holes. But great acting and cinematography and atmosphere.
It was a 6/10 - that's not bad, but it was an 8 or a 9 for me until the half baked conclusion that doesn't tie up any of the loose plot threads.
I think they threw a lot of spooky ideas in a basket (secret codes, killings in a date pattern, possessed dolls, Satan worship) and shook the basket real hard and wherever the ideas landed was the script.
None of it is -really- tied together. You could ask why any of what happens in the movie is happening (that was my question). And it turns out the motive was as simple as "Hail Satan" because... ooooh, spooky.
Why the coded notes? Why the elaborate date pattern? What was the endgame?
I went into this movie somewhat blind, having only watched the trailer once. Didn’t want to spoil it for myself. To be quite honest I think this is one of the most terrifying movies I HAVE seen in my 31 years. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Nicholas Cage was unrecognizable and disturbing.
This director obviously had a sense of humor. FBI agents… Lee and Carter… rush hour… lol😂
what??
This wasn't really an analysis, rather a summary of the movie.
Feel like its a common thing for these types of videos...
@@raggarbosse3207 yep. I remember a time when people actually analyzed movies like Enemy and Only God Forgives, going into the metaphores and meaning instead of describing what you just literally been watching.
@@StevenAnthonyGuitarwe need matpat to come back to do a thorough analysis on this movie in film theory
@@cadencelawrence5778 Chris Stuckmann did some great ones back in the day as well.
I foreshadowed the end scene when Lee was invited to her partners house and met his daughters. She invited Lee to her bday party and I knew it would go bad.
Cage was absolutely brilliant
Best Horror Character/Acting possibly ever!
DADDY!!! MOMMY!!! UNMAKE ME!!!
He's amazing.
So was Monroe
@@harrypotter-mc1sq ya for sure they both were excellent
that ending with the kiss was amazing
A little over hyped, but still good. It's more creepy and unnerving, than scary. The 3rd Act was good, but I was personally hoping it didn't go in that direction. It's a played out trope, even if the twist was good (tho, me and my friend called it immediately when "Ms Ruby" showed up).
Up until the 3rd Act/Chapter, it felt like Remedy studio game. Maika Monroe gave me big Jesse Faden from Control vibes. Grounded, but supernatural. The ending made it into a different movie lol.
Yes, and the ending did seem much more boringly similar to the same tired tropes from both better horror movies like Hereditary and worse horror films like The Conjuring movies. Not innovative at all. Certainly not in the league of SE7EN or SILENCE OF THE LAMBS to which, for some reason, critics insist on comparing this film.
@@TheJohnnyCalifornia I could see the Hannibal vibes, if this became a series of movies and we saw Lee become more twisted and nihilistic as she tried to raise Ruby and solve murders. Maybe.
The film after I let it settle made sense. It's kinda a feature length shock visualization in a world shook by a possession. Sure cage is the vikian but the ai called villain gives himself ups, cooperates and lives as a law abiding citizen. He's. Clearly pisses, curse to carry out the devil work and like the mother have crafted a way to use possession as a means to get others to do the dirty work. I saw Kong legs as a tortured tournamented man's only driven crazy by his cursed purpose. Does that excuse his actions ? By no means I think the character is responsible for unleashing the evil. I think the film it self acts as a conduit of some sort or gateway for evil.
I have to say brother that was a fantastic breakdown one of your best.
@@blackmanwithcomputer You know, - potential spoilers - the "surprise" villain was more interesting than Longlegs himself. I was never really scared or creeped out by Longlegs in the film as he never lived up to the way the trailers set him up. Just a somewhat effeminate serial killer about as well developed as a comic book villain. And the fact that he's a Satanist added little.
On the other hand, the entire "it's Satanic" reveal is a bit tired and honestly kinda laughable. At least movies like Hereditary or The Last Exorcism add a little bit to it, but considering we've had actual cult murders and other violence from Jonestown to Branch Davidians to all sorts of New Age cults and even Hare Krishnas, but horror movies like this one and the Conjuring series still use Satanists as the villains is just kinda eye-rolling. Like most possession films (except The Evil Dead) it never really lands for me. He might as well been a member of the Cult of Cthulhu - at least that would have been a little more interesting if not any more original.
However, "Mother Exposition" came off a lot more complex and insidious as far as her relation to the protagonist.
Who ever was behind the market was really skilled
What is the purpose of providing Harker with the information to break the code? Is there a reason for helping her solve the mystery?
To make her become the successor and to mess up the local fbi unity
I think he made a deal early in his career with some nefarious force and wanted out. The way out was lengthy service to evil. That sounds miserable, once any glamor gained wears off. When he finished "the work" he could be in control of his body again and, in this case, get some rest.
To me, the implication was that Lee was to be the next Longlegs with Ruby as her assistant.
@@goodcitizen3027 I'd love to see how that played out. It could be really interesting ✨️
I feel like the ending was kinda sudden, I thought it would go more into explaining how Lee killing her mother would affect their cursedness, or how the kid would end up with both of her parents dead and her numb.
I thought it would be longer because of the marketing, I didn’t see it before but my friend told me about the scene where Maikas heart reached 170bpm, and figured it would be because of some jumpscare at the end, so I was kinda waiting for that to happen not realized it was during her interrogation.
Still an amazing movie that disturbed me quite a bit
i was in a really serious mood watching it because i was expecting it to be very scary, then afterwards I realised it was a legendary nick cage comedy. I am desperate for the nick cage scenes to be uploaded because i kinda forgot exactly what he said, and need to reminisce and quote those scenes in fits of laughter
MOMMEEEE. DADDEEEE. 😂
This was a great movie, the marketing was just way too good. It did not need the “scariest movie of the decade” promo. Whoever thought that was a good idea is an idiot. The whole time I was watching I was waiting to get scared so the marketing could live up to the hype. But it never happened, it’s for sure creepy as hell but not scary to an average 25 year old man. A nice creepy story that ended kind of fast. But not fast enough to where you discredit the whole movie.
Visually 10/10
Plot 7/10
Pacing 6/10
Suspense 9/10
Scary 3/10
Fully agree. Everything felt quite shallow and brief. The paranormal and serial k*lIer stuff were short, longlegs appearance was shortlived and they didn’t explain so many things. It would be much more interesting to find out how longlegs came about and also more details about the devil and its purpose etc
I thought it was a great psychological thriller and kept you on edge I swear. It’s different categories of horror. For this genre of horror it was amazing
I absolutely loved this movie. I think the only reason anyone is negative on it is because they went in thinking “let’s see the greatest movie of the decade”. You’ll always be disappointed going in like that. It’s human nature. I didn’t like Gladiator that much the first time I watched it for the same reason. It ended up being a top 5 of all time movie for me. Longlegs is GREAT
no i was disapointed because there was so much hype and then it just wasn't that good.
I feel like this is an intimate trauma story and the tone stays so dark and macabre that you never get a break. Those kinds of films stick with you for years and keep people talking.
people are gonna forget about this so fucking fast bro.
----SPOILERS---
My take on the ending is that we are witnessing the whole process begin again.
In the opening scene, Long legs chose/knew Lee (even as a child) to be his eventual successor and her mother to be his apprentice.
In the ending, Lee has taken Longlegs mantle, with the detectives daughter becoming her eventual successor.
As for her apprentice, we, the audience, just took the mother’s role. We witnessed the act and ensured it was done. And we now, in essence, discuss and “spread” it.
My other thought is that Lee has possibly been the living embodiment of satan the whole time.
As a child, Lee seemed to sense Longlegs arrival to her house.
And there are her mother’s numerous references of never having any friends or family come visit.
When Longlegs looks at Lee and says, “Hail, satan”, it might not have been just a vocal declaration of his loyalty to death, but a direct salute to Lee, his master, after she told him that his “work was done”.
And if I’m not mistaken, take a look at the barn doors (x marks the spot). The insignia on the barn doors (the one that is the actual design of the door; not the little x’s) is the same symbol pictured in the 9 levels of hell book that is shown a few scenes prior - (the symbol under the inverted triangle).
Wow...good take so lee is the actual devi
Not so sure how this makes sense. Lee could not be the devil. She might have supernatural powers that Longlegs was able to sense of Lee as a young girl which made him obsessed with her
no
@@rushmore309 c c
@@jonhenrychris6973 no she did what she had todo otherwise she would've joined her mother
The doll discovery that was insightful. What a mother wouldn't do to save her child! I believe the little girl must've gotten possessed as will at the end because she kept hugging the doll and didn't even scream or cry when her mother was being murdered.
I loved this film, it had a very eerie atmosphere and was very disturbing and creepy. deserves a 10. not sure what people expected from the marketing, I think everyone is being so toxic to rate this anything lower than an 8
I gave it a solid 9.
I might be absolutely completely misinterpreting the ending…BUT. I’m choosing to look deeper into that running out of bullets, there’s no way it’s a coincidence, it’s emphasized too much to be just nothing.
What I interpret it is, throughout the film the killers of the families murder and suicide while being confused and not in control. What I think happened is Lee is in a trance and the devils making her see what they want her to see. That Carter is trying to murder his family. Long story short, she shoots carter 2 times and he mom once, that’s what we see. 3 bullets left… I believe in reality Lee actually killed carters wife, daughter, and then herself.
I left the theater with this interpretation and it absolutely had me satisfied and excited, even if it comes out to be a stretch or “wrong” I’m gonna continue to believe it😭
ISnt it a 6 shooter?
My interpretation is that Harker makes a deal with the devil in the last scene, just as Harkers mom made a deal in order to keep her daughter alive to grow up. I think Harker in that moment was presented with a gift, ultimately a decision, the same decision the villain told harker she would have during the interrogation scene. I think its either she kills the girl, or she keeps the doll around and continues the work to keep the girl alive.
@@seattleryan5721 That's what I was thinking as well. Makes more sense.
I love this theory!
I thought Carter went to the kitchen and fully stabbed and killed his wife. If she shot everyone once shoot to kill everyone including herself that’s 5, where was the last bullet shot? I think Longlegs “everywhere presence” is now infecting the Lee and little girl in the end Master/Apprentice
It was creepy and unnerving.
A movie plot that inspies as many theoretical backstory/future possible timelines as Longlegs is doing something right ❤
So are Lee and Ruby's birthdays both on the 14th? I don't remember if they were addressed in the movie, but since all the other child victims birthdays were I would assume so. How would Lee and Carter never address or recognize this throughout the film knowing about the pattern of the victims birthdays?
Exactly.
@@chadcognac5626 Lee not realizing is explained because at one point it says that her doll's influence on her is causing her to see what it wants to see and not see what it doesn't want her to see. why tf Carter didn't connect the dots, i have no clue
This is not a breakdown or an analysis. This is a recap.
I THINK LONGLEGS IS LEE'S FATHER!!!
i found it strange that her father was not mentioned the whole movie. the father could have left them early on in lee's life then returned with that plastic surgery look which could explain y they thought he was a stranger. it could be a play on word association with the spider daddy lonlegs. otherwise y name the killer that random word.
anyone else agree? any other evidence?
i have not heard this theory yet
He signed his notes Longlegs. They didn't randomly name him that.
@@LisaMason70why did he sign his letters longlegs then? What sort of explanation is that lol, ‘it’s not randomly named because he signs his letter that way’ like what?
She was not playing outside. She went outside because she saw the car outside. Did you see the movie?
12:41 if you want to skip the synopsis and hear his thoughts
This movie just has a good unsettling vibe that is consistent throughout. Just very foreboding and tense more than anything. Some of the best/scary parts are when Nicolas Cage is on screen. Dude plays a very good serial killer.
I loved the movie. Nick Cage was awesome and creepy af and Maika is literally the Screen Queen. Nobody compares to her
I thought Nicolas Cage is acting and make up were way over the top. Have you ever seen someone that actually looks like this in real life he looks like a deformed transvestite and the female actress was terrible. She basically didn’t act. She just stared blankly into the screen through every Shot and you’re supposed to believe her mother the hoarder who barely leaves the house is walking around still knocking on peoples doors giving them dolls. It’s just such a ridiculous storyline and Nicolas Cage act like a crazy person. It’s so over the top. The whole movie was terrible. The only thing was the cinematography, it looked more like a real setting then some of the enhanced movies today other than that, it sucked
I suspect the film actually ran out of budget. The third act felt like many compromises were made to try and wrap it up prematurely.
thought the agent was going to fall under the influence of the demon as she kept on getting more deep in the investigation and there’d be a big final event like how Hereditary destroyed their house.
Still somewhat better than Mandy and those movies
Idk there was something pleasing about the nick cage movie where he was cleaning a murder arcade
I don't think you can understand the movie without accepting that it definitely has supernatural influences in it. It's not only human based like Silence of the Lambs.
The villain in both of his movies is THE Villain.
THANK YOU, KIND SIR. I spent 20 minutes trying to find a breakdown with spoilers and you did just the job!
I appreciate your effort but this seems like just a regurgitation of the movie. I was hoping for some insight as I feel I don't understand the movie
Only problem with one scene is when they are searching the attic in barn while it is stormy and dark outside, but when they hit the attic part, it has sunlight coming down from two roof windows.
I saw that too… I was like wth? Did the storm clear up?
I had thought there was some type of yellow light right outside the barn when they first entered?
i thought the same thing but i rewatched it on a pirate site and there are in fact bright yellow lights outside those windows
She had to blow the doll-head off as soon as she entered into the room.
I agree! but now reading possible theories as to why she didnt do it... It might be that Lee was Satan itself all along... allowing Carter to kill his wife, Lee herself killing him afterwards and protecting both girl and doll. By keeping the doll and the girl safe she is able to keep the ritual going.
Maybe that's why they made the girl embrace it in the movie and put her head on its shoulder, as it gave a reason not to shoot the doll right away as she could accidentally shoot the girl instead.
I'm feeling that this will end up like The Thing- not liked on release but overtime becomes a classic many years later
I thought it had a good feel and thought it was filmed very well. However, I thought Cage's performance was too much for how little we knew the character. It came off too corny for me, but that isn't his fault. The story or editing just didn't hit me.
I fell asleep in it, woke when Longlegs bashed his face on the table. That's my review.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At times it felt like hannibal , a cop mystery horror movie. I liked it
When the partner gets domed, I thought “Hell yes, here we go!” Then the pursuit in the house and its overall plain and unremarkable backdrop made it so much more anxiety inducing and frightening!
Carter and his family were possessed or in the process of becoming so when Harker arrived. They were obviously off. I got annoyed by the dialogue about the birthday "cakes" though, like who has more than one cake?. "I'll cut the cakes, I'll cut the cakes "wasn't right at all.
it was Lee's birthday too
It was good. That’s what matters
so did they catch long leg in the end?
Longlegs had his own transport. What was he doing at a bus stop with two suitcases? Where was he headed and what was in the cases?
Opted for more eco friendly transport.
They mentioned his luggage just contained notebooks that were full of writing and that it matched the handwriting on the letters left at the crime scenes
I have to watch this with my gf I don’t want to be scared 😂😂😂😂
Finally Nicholas Cage finally did a movie justice. Only took 40 years
Just watched this movie today and i thought it was brilliant. I loved the cinematography and how it set a tense sinister tone from start to finish
My only question.. Lee picks up the ringing phone after escaping the basement.. Is that supposed to be the literal devil on the phone? Or perhaps another accomplice if they want to do a sequel?
Or is this just supposed to be open to our own interpretation.
Or with Lee losing her mind, was the phone really ringing?
Either some form of communication from the spirit of Longlegs or maybe lee’s supernatural ability
This movie wasn't as creepy as I expected but the story itself was very unique and I really enjoyed this movie through and through.
I watched it yesterday with my friends, I liked the movie. Part 1 was slow , the ending of part 2 and the entire part 3 were really good , enjoyed it
This is a movie worth an Oscar.
I enjoyed it. It really got under my skin!
'Longlegs' was more creepy than scary. The promo made it seem like it would be terrifying, but it ended up leaning more towards the creepy side."
I agree with the idea that it wasn’t scary but unsettling. They made the movie off in a way. The dialogue was purposefully awkward and had lots of long pauses. Any time it introduces a concept it always makes something of it. The girl talked about her dad not wanting her to grow up, the mother also says that. The dolls all had a black veil and in the beginning scene they also had a black silhouette. That could be inferred to be the doll. The man the basement is always mentioned. And he was in the basement. The birthday party was mentioned and at the end it culminated at it. There were scenes that showed that long legs was not necessary evil or supernatural but simply corrupted and insane. Everything about it was specifically designed to be unsettling.
I wasn’t able to predict the ending that’s what I liked.
Why can't Lee just go back and get another gun, and reshoot Ruby's doll?
I don’t get the scene at 5:30 .. you’re telling me someone breaks in to ur home and leaves a note and you calmly sit down and read it and just assume he isn’t still in your house and won’t harm you? What was that
I called the ending as soon as Lee met her partners family
Were anyone annoyed by the jump scares in the film? I remember that one scene where Harker was going through the photos and all of a sudden BOOM a flashback to a distorted imagery of longlegs, which told us nothing. It wasn’t even scary. I almost went deaf in the cinema
Sounds like your cinema just isn't using good audio I was sitting right up the screen and audio system it had lots of bass as for the jumpscares they did feel kinda out of place but samething needed bc it was getting boring sometimes
I have a rule. More than two jump scares, the movie is a crap horror movie.
This movie had six...
@@stephensloniker1761did you like the movie hereditary?
@@matthewmcmeme
I love that movie! And yeah, it has more than two, I know. It's just a general rule for me. Of course not every movie that has more than two is bad... I should have wrote my statement in a more nuanced way to allow for exceptions.
My all time favorite horror movie, The Thing, has four or so. By way of example.
@@stephensloniker1761you’re speaking my language
So happy this movie was not overhyped. Fully lived up to the incredible marketing
Are u kidding? It was hyped so much as the scariest movie of the entire decade lol 😂
It was definitely overhyped online and also by many reviews. Still a great horror film nonetheless
“Not overhyped”? U gotta jus be watching tubi😂
i feel like this all the information we already knew
Great psychological horror movie. No it’s not the scariest movie 🍿. But far as a psychological horror movie 🎥 it is A+ no lie
When Lee was sitting in her hut you could see the goat shadow figure behind her right before she saw Longlegs outside.
Saying this isn’t unnerving or unsettling is a psychotic take
Really good movie. Totally enjoyed myself.
I’m not as high on it as everyone else. (Plot)
Better than The Black Phone but to me, quite similar.
It’s definitely creepy & weird. The end had a twist. The fact he was staying in the mom’s house the entire time was mind blowing.
Having just come from the theater, I can honestly say that I was a bit underwhelmed.
There was so much hype going into this film, that I REALLY wanted to be scared shitless.
Instead, I heard myself laughing at some of Lee’s dead-pan dialogue, as well as when Longlegs asks the hardware cashier what her birthday was, and her response was “Dad, that creepy guy is here again” without ever really looking up from her magazine 😂
For the most part, however, it was really well done.
My biggest issue is i went in with the wrong idea of what this movie was even gonna be. After watching trailers i got the feeling that it was gonna be like long legs is some demon, not literally just some guy that yes has a supernatural aspect with being a satanist but at the end of the day is still just a guy. And with his bizarre appearance and behavior that we only got small glimpses of in those trailers the dude almost doesnt look human which drove this idea so deep in me that this is a catch the demon thing. I did not expect it to just be chasing this weird guy that worships satan. I thought this was gonna be a very different movie and was disappointed because i was drawn in so hard from the expectations the trailers gave me and got a different thing. Even with it ending up this way im not very impressed by the execution and think overall on practically every level whats here could have been done so much better. I think we got way too much of this extremely isolated "lets solve the puzzle and find the killer" and not nearly enough of the killings, impact of the killings on families/communities, the worlds general reaction to this killer being out there, etc. i think long legs should have been like an overbearing boogeyman to the world or atleast the area this takes place i think his killings were isolated to an area or something. But we didnt get any of that. It was extremely isolated to the main character and the fbi just solving the case like any other case out there. I think long legs needed to be bigger than that it feels underwhelming that he wasnt built up like this end all be all top priority of the FBI that puts an atmosphere of terror around anyone that knows he exists. I was mislead, underwhelmed, and overall just unimpressed by what i ended up getting. And its like the more i talk about it and the more i think about what it could have been and what i wanted it to be the more i hate it.
I thought he was going to be possessed by a demon after he died. But he just kind died and it was over for him. Watching it I thought the killings were going to be to summon a demon and he would be the vessel, but there was no real payoff.
I liked it but it wasn’t a horror. It was a slow burn with a weird ending.
Nicolas Cage’s character Longlegs is based on Buffalo Bill (The silence of the lambs)
I’m almost positive those silver balls are where the families souls were stored and that’s why once they are broken that girl goes back to normal and Lee feels that blur when hers is shot
I loved the movie but I think some of the “super natural” details were left very vague and if done better could’ve took this movie to the next level
Great movie. Hope Nick Cage gets an Oscar.
Wait Wait did you say Nicholas 😳 Cage I'm out I'll be back after watching the movie myself 🏍
The movies hype really ruined it for me.
I purposely avoided reading and watching a lot of the hype, just as I did with In A Violent Nature. I hated that flick but this one was pretty good. I can still enjoy movies even if I've read up on them a bit, but these 2 were mass hyped already.
Another recent flick that I didnt know hardly anything about was They'll Never Find Me and it turned out to be pretty good shit.
Idk for me the marketing made me so excited and it totally delivered in my opinion
@@austinburrowes8611 I think it’s a movie on whether you love it or didn’t and then some are in the middle. I think it was more tailored to a specific audience and I try to be very open and I definitely appreciate the work that was put in and see why people loved it but for me it didn’t hit and the ending didn’t hit as hard as I wanted it to.
There's not a movie on the planet that can scare me because I know what fear is when you're in a car accident like I was and the only thing left the person to hit you was his actual decapitated head stuck in the windshield of your car. Then that's the scariest thing you could ever imagine. Nothing in the movies or fictional world can top that. And yes, that was actually true what happened to me?
she wasn’t targeted because of her abilities, she was given them because her mom joined forces with lo no legs
I have 100 questions about this movie. Why did harks mom get tied up though? To let the devil in?
Just saw .... MASTERPIECE
2 things drive me crazy in the plot. 1. If it is supernatural and the family kill themseleves why does longlegs need an accomplice? That would explain why there is no physical evidence of him at the scene. 2. Brushing off an old Polaroid at home does not warrant an arrest…
You can tell it’s Nicolas Cage from his chin lol
Fantastic movie !!!
I see it more as a psychological thriller , in the vein of Silence of The Lambs or The Shining with Hitchcock like accents.
Silence Of The Lambs 9/10
Longlegs 6.5/10
I think she only had “mind ability’s” lol I believe it was because she was infected by the doll. I mean she was under the trance of the doll the whole time movie right? Until
her mom shoots it?
Great movie overall. Compared to other horrors of this decade its a 9/10 or a 10/10. Maybe even past 2 decades. Though it draws many techniques from earlier what film doesn't. It has an original premise that goes against the typical horror doll archetypes as the dolls are scary without having to actually be alive.
It started strong with the crime/thriller approach but went downhill when the supernatural was introduced.
I’m so conflicted on this movie. It’s no doubt good. I have no idea if it’s great or not
I thought her being psychic was actually part of the doll because it said it made her look where it wanted her to look
