Quick correction on the video. I meant to say the music sounds like it's pulled from "The Shining", not "Psycho". One thousand apologies for the mistake.
At no point were her "skills" as an FBI agent or a quasi-psychic used in any way. The only breaks in the case came when she just remembered she knew who the killer was the whole time.
This movie was one of the most boring movies I have ever watched. When it ended I said "thats it?". Not even remotely scary. Rating 1 to 10, 10 being the scariest, this movie is a solid 1.
Yea I didn’t like it. And there’s a reaction channel that I watch. He was bored with it too. He’d gotten some comments about not liking it, and also lost some subs. So you know what he does? He went and changed his entire title and thumbnail. It had previously been titled with a “snooze”, and the thumbnail with him doxing off. He changed it with “LongLegs is so scary!😱”. I lost so much respect for him for that clownery.
@@jovanjonck 100% why I was raging at this film. It *could* have been fucking fantastic, but all the ideas were half baked. I love a satanic twist, but please make the supernatural elements make sense in the world you're building!! It doesn't take tonnes of exposition or hours of backstory - just make it make sense!!!!
They tried to push every single button, basement, dolls, clowns, nuns, mind manipulation, slasher, satanic worship, faustian bargain, procedural, fbi, artsy, weird protagonist, sixth sense, sole survivor kid, occult, cryptology, blah blah, but none of them worked. It was the crappiest movie I've seen recently, and in one word it's just cringe. None of the scenes was scary, the serial killer was like a joke, nothing about the plot made sense to me. 2/10 and that's only for photography of the film
i mean... they all work, they literally just didn't work on any of them... they said 'hey heres a pattern for no reason, okay next thing we're not coming back to that' 'oh this guy kills himself and says hail satan for no reason' and nothing happens with that, no weird twist, its over and done... oh plot twist, exactly what's been happening happens again, but to the protagonists friend, and she literally watches it happen then lets it happen and kills everyone when she coulda just stopped it in the first place... zzzzzzzzzzzz
Wow, I am so happy to find your comment because I almost thought everyone enjoyed it. It actually is one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. And also it was not scary at all, just cringy and dumb.
FR. it feels like it's lazily executed. Because the guilt is on the "demon" that possessed the dolls to explain everything that happened to the families. And boom, tragedies. There's no depths in the story
I'm so glad I'm not going crazy. I feel like I woke up in an alternate universe with all this critical acclaim. The movie is barely passable as entertaining. Definitely not scary. One of many times I've gone to the movies and wanted my time or my money back. It follows was way better.
Can someone tell me why the killer is called longlegs? And also can they tell me how they found him just randomly stood on the side of the road with absolutely no explanation as to how they knew to look there? 😂 this movie was such a let down my god
I was actually livid during that scene, That’s how you catch the Sadistic Satanic serial killer with 38 kills on his resume on the side of the road? What a massive fart this film was.
They actually found him btw because Harkers hoarder mother had the Polaroid that Lee took when she was younger. That’s all it took for police to start swarming I guess. This movie just gets worse and worse the more I think about it.
Exactly what I was thinking. It would have been logical to find him in the basement of the mother’s house, but I guess that would not have worked for the ending, since they needed to reveal that he had been living with the mom for years. Damn this movie sucked.
So yeah it was a Horror, Mystery, Possession type thing. So many questions. Is the little girl now possed by the Devil? What happens now to the Agent? Why was longlegs called longlegs? Why did he pick Her mom to work for him? Where's the Dad? I could go on lol
@ohq80 I stopped caring at " The Killer kills on girls birthdays" FBI Boss" How do we stop him ? Who knows...anyway my daughters birthday is coming up.."
we are gonna see more and more of the masses praising movies that suck because it’s true that people are becoming more and more stupid the further ahead into the future we go. Everything about this movie sucked.
Wait, you’re telling me that if some random lady came to your house and said “congrats, you won this gift from the church! What is it? Oh it’s a realistic doll that looks like your daughter! Coincidence! Just make sure to keep it in your house cause ya know, everyone knows churches do this! Not creepy at all! Not unusual. Everyone would just let this happen ;)”…. So dumb.
Thank you!! I'm glad someone realizes how stupid that is- especially when someone goes up to the door of an FBI agent investigating a crime having to do with a devil worshipping serial k!ller. The movie looks good, but it is a pretentious mess overflowing with major plot holes. I was hoping this would be similar to The Silence of the Lambs. Boy, oh boy, was I wrong!
Yeah, like the FBI agent had seen a doll exactly like that before in the barn. Also, why wasn't there anyone else at the birthday party? They seemed like a pretty social, well adjusted family.
@roastbeefy0weefy Good point. It was weird that only the main protagonist was invited to the party. Doesn't the young birthday girl have any friends her own age to attend her birthday party?
The “random lady” is dressed as a nun to trick ppl into trusting her. They don’t know what’s in the box until they bring it in for their kid to open it. At that point it’s already too late and Satan or whatever possesses the family.
I am really surprised at how many people are praising this movie and Nic Cage's performance, I thought it was kind of awful. Seriously disappointed, the marketing promised something smart and twisted, this movie felt like "Nic Cage does a creepypasta story written by an edgy 14 year old."
have you even seen the film? the mom literally explains that the doll (devil) made her forget and tell her where to look… basically brainwashed her the entire time she was there.
You guys can explain to those people how they totally missed that the movie literally spelled out why she could never look in the basements…throughout the movie implicitly and then explicitly, and then they’ll pretend that the explanation is dumb cause magic isn’t realistic 🙄…as if they only ever like 100% realistic movies 🙄
So many moments I honestly though the joke was on me and this movie was a dark comedic send-up of horror-thrillers. Nope. This movie was so far up its own ass it was looking through its own eyeballs.
Agree. I laughed out loud when he was randomly standing on a road looking like Bozo the Clown. I think even Nic Cage had to be like "did the check clear? They are paying me for this crap?"
Well he was killing people before he showed up to the Harker house, he showed up there in 1974 and the first killing was 1966. He may have had another accomplice before Lee’s mother but that doesn’t seem likely. Lee also doesn’t appear to have a father figure, so maybe he had the mom make a deal with the devil instead of having the father kill the family? I don’t know lol
@@jacobbrown3479 Yes but wasn't he still killing them in the same manner? So he still didn't "kill" anyone. Hence why there was no physical evidence at all.
Bro same!! It was so fucking stupid and she literally saw her mom shoot her agent friend and all she does is gawk at her knowing full well she's possessing both the parents and the daughter.
Well, her mum was telling her that all three of the family members have to die, otherwise her and her mum's souls would be going to hell forever. She was probably wondering whether she should let them die or save them. Obviously she gathered herself and decided to at least save the little girl. I probably would have let them all die because I wouldn't wanna go to hell forever. 😂
I think that the wife was also possessed. I noticed the flinched when talking. Also, in one of the murders we saw that the mother was in sone sort of trance, while the husband committed the killings. Perhaps it was too late.
Yo when they showed longlegs singing on the tv in the fbi office and then abruptly turned it off and said, "it goes on like that" i almost pissed myself from laughing
Was so disappointed by it. Didn’t watch reviews, waited to see it in cinema. Why did they have a supernatural twist to it. For me it took away from the film! It just ruined it. Makes me want to cry.
LongLegs wasn’t a recluse…they knew him at that hardware store. It would seem that if you have a series of unsolved, grisly, bizarre murders…if I’m police or FBI IN that area……he might be worth talking just due to the EVERYTHING about him.
Did they even explain why he called himself Longlegs? Also because he didn't murder them directly, what was their cause for arrest, a few letters, a suspicion of involvement, a hunch? I don't think that would hold for long. Actually I take it back, he did write a lot about one of the murders, I guess that?
@@geoffreypereira8024 the people who knew him at the hardware store just seen him as a weirdo/creep. Most likely a junkee if I seen him so I doubt they would report him to the police over just being an extremely weird customer specifically to the murders. So therefore the police can’t be suspicious of him without any actual proof
my biggest gripe is that the main characters did not realize that Agent Carter's Daughter's Birthday was taking place on the day the couldnt figure out?? Are you freaking serious?? I am sure i am not the only one who called it when she got invited to her birthday!! LIKE SERIOUSLY!
I also hated it. Slow, boring, just a mess. Nothing happens. I got up to grab snacks, waited in line, came back and didnt miss anything. I’m mad I paid full price to see this mess.
I love Barbarian but... this was frustrating. Felt like a student project. Dialogue was unnatural. Cage singing happy birthday on the evidence TV was painfully cringe. And what was with that psych ward girl's goofy accent?
yah its as if aliens or a.i. wrote the script not knowing how humans interact and operate..the most unrealistic and strange dialogue i have ever seen in a film
Welp. I decided to go with the critic's majority opinion, and I just saw the movie. And now I have nothing but regrets. It wasn't scary. It wasn't creepy. It was just stupid and slow. So if someone likes their stupid with a big dose of slow to really let the stupid soak in, they'll love this. But I'm just mad that I was persuaded to give them my money to see it.
It was weird watching it. Until the last scene I still didn't know if there really was a supernatural element or not. And why tf is the movie called Longlegs again ?
@@brandish8215 I think it was clear there's a supernatural element when theyre examining the silver ball and the FBI agent gets a demonic vision. And you see a dark cloud leave her head when the doll gets shot.
this movie fused two styles of horror that i’m completely sick to death of, satanic possessions and serial killer investigations. the film wasn’t remotely scary, and i’m a huge fan of slow burn horror, hereditary is probably my favourite horror film. people seem to think nicolas cage was disturbing and horrifying here, i found him genuinely laughable at times, i was so unconvinced by his performance.
..... Absolutely LOUSY movie. Saw it this past week. The script was VERY weak. This movie was MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Thanks for your honest review sir!
Thank you!! I thought I was taking crazy pills with everyone talking about how amazing Nick Cage's performance was. I kept having flashbacks of Ghost Rider during his scenes. My husband and I were laughing to ourselves whenever he was on, it was so ridiculous. That closing scene, I laughed so loud and laughed some more when I realized I was the only one laughing as the end credits came on. 🤦
Oh thank god… I had to suffocate myself in the theater during his performances. When the end credits rolled I laughed out loud. How was no one else laughing but me!? I can’t believe anyone found that performance scary…
The part that pissed me off the most is when she sees someone outside her place and goes outside to investigate. She turns around and sees someone inside her place. She goes back in, gun still out, and sees an envelope on her desk. She sits downs and opens the envelope. WTF!? So let’s not look around the place looking for the person who was….JUST INSIDE YOUR FUCKNG HOUSE…no, let’s sit down and open an envelope. Jesus. This movie was complete ass.
Seen this yesterday. Myself and my friend left the cinema early. Very disappointed. Silence of the lambs it’s not. Agree about zodiac a 10 times better movie. This film is a waste of time.
@@fsrgaming1649 Exactly, And everyone keeps saying it's the scariest movie of the year and said that Nicolas cage looked really scary, I actually laughed quite alot through this movie especially the parts where he kept doing that weird singing thing. What the actual fuck do people find scary???
I haven't seen it yet. But, I have to give you credit. Nearly everyone from critics, to TH-cam reviewers, and cinephiles are all collectively riding this movie's dick like it's going out of style. Film fans can be brutal when people don't agree with them. It's like they automatically think their taste is being insulted. You're continuing to make your videos and being honest with how you genuinely feel. Regardless of if it seems like a movie fan minority opinion on social media. I respect that.
Either that, or they just didn't enjoy themselves. It's all subjective. I'll watch it and see how I feel myself. Like with anything. @@ardenaudreyarji
I think I'd have appreciated this movie a bit more without the legions of clowns and shills telling me that its one of the greatest films ever made. No. No, it really isnt. Its a mediocre indie film at best.
I agree with most of what you’ve said here. In fact you captured more or less exactly how I felt about the film. However, I disagree with one point: I actually don’t think there is a story worth salvaging. It was one horror movie trope after another with some formulaic A24 seasoning. Utter garbage.
I could not stay awake watching this movie and I kept trying because all the reviews talk about how great it is. It is horrible. It is boring. It is nothing but what I need to figure out now is how people think it’s a good movie. I cannot relate, even a teeny tiny bit.
When nameless asian cop was with main FBI protagonist at the murder witness' house and said "you go, I'll just wait in the car", I almost nearly blurted "Cover more ground that way". Literally anyone can guess what happens immeidately after.
Biggest eye roll of the movie. She goes “I’ll just go in, tell her she’s needed for questioning…” ……….. tension tension tension TENSHINNNN, her response? “…alright. I’ll wait here” what a fuckin nail biter.
Main character also had a clear line of fire at the person she just saw murder with a fucking shotgun lmaoo. Instead she goes outside to get closer to her? Like what.
They advertised this movie as scariest film of the year, absolutly NOTHING was scary about this film, the only sinister felt was when they eyes of the dolls would look evil. Other then that the whole movies was very underwhelming. 1/10 wish id known it was nicholas cage woulda watched it.
I stopped caring after this dialogue exchange, " We have no physical evidence that longlegs has ever committed a murder" " But he probably has an accomplice" Don't worry about that, we got longlegs in custody with us". This movie doesn't know what kind of movie it is, no thrill, no good police investigation, shock value, and no suspense.
I was hoping for a cat and mouse chase with a really smart serial killer. I’m so sick of horror movies going “satanic”. It’s just not shocking and I feel it’s lazy. There’s no point to the killings. No point in any of their actions. I was definitely left frustrated and checking the time multiple times throughout the movie.
I saw it last night and didn’t like it. It was slow, kinda boring, not scary and very predictable! I thought I was the only one who hated it. Lee literally just stood there and let Ruby’s mom get murdered!
She also just stood there at the window, watching the officer get shot. Then took her sweet time going down the stairs after the murder. Hate this movie!
This movie was so dull, boring, and frustrating to watch. Just dark monochromatic cinematography and dark music with string instruments. Like yeah, it was melancholy af. But it wasn’t scary or haunting or anything. So fucking boring.
When I saw the father finishing his family under a crucifix and the whole Satan thing, I thought "oh well, it's one of those movies" and rolled my eyes. The investigation was dead, the protagonist did nothing the whole movie and there were a lot of unanswered questions. It wants to be a silent of the lambs with the conjuring. Instead it's the nun and some other bad horror movie.
I actually think I might not have disliked Cage’s performance if he just wasnt Nicolas Cage. It seemed appropriate for this character perhaps, but its still the same loud, crazy, overexaggerated, “not the bees!”, acting that we expect from him.
I actually think Nick Cage is a great actor. He gives it his all. It takes a director, editor, and producer to agree on a final edit. Nick cage good. Director/editor bad
I hated Cage's performance. It was a rehash of EVERY other weirdo who kills people in movies. The makeup, the singing, and the plastic surgery are silly, not scary.
They “tired” so hard to make something, but it comes across boring, drawn out, cold, emotionless, and you feel no attachment to any character, therefore not caring or rooting for anyone. Nic Cages character is sooo ridiculously over the top he comes across as goofy, campy, and laughable. Umm and to whoever gave the “ok” to the special effects makeup on him, what in the actual hell is wrong with you 😂?
I have so many unanswered questions after watching Longlegs...And also, I felt I was watching a 3 hour movie...which did not give me anything apart from good shots and a story which I knew could have been handled better.
I see everyone glazing this movie but I found it to be trash, I was like I can’t be the only one, and I really do like movies with complex plots and characters….🤷🏽♂️
@@EntrEsprit Don't get me wrong I'm sure a lot of people enjoy Longlegs. I'm a big fan of the movie Malignant. A lot of people hated that movie. Audience score... an abysmal 52.
@@88detour honestly i never take rotten tomatoes seriously, Letterboxd and Imdb is my go to. I've seen so many 80%+ audience scores, which are just average action/thriller movies; whereas something more bold/experimental or original is met with bad scores
@@jimbeam2299 no, but the audience tastes on RT are pretty one dimenstional. They are more appreciative of blockbusters and superhero movies, even if they're bad ones. I prefer Letterboxd
Same. I thought this might be the movie to finally change my mind about him, but nope. Still an over-the top clown. The bad Marilyn Manson makeup didn’t help
no problem with the pacing or a slow burn. Cage sunk the movie the moment he was on screen. I don't know if another actor could have saved this in that role... probably yes. His performance was uncomfortable to watch, but because it was scary, but because it was embarrassing. It became very clear why they hid him in the trailer.
Appreciate this, it cuts like a knife through the fog of deification. Social Media is flooded with idiot "critics," my guard was up immediately when one was gushing about his earlier GRETEL AND HANSEL (dragged on and pretentious). For some reason nobody mentions SINISTER - a movie that 1) begins a crime procedural, shit taped to walls, old footage of family murders across the years, then veers into SATAN. But SINISTER was awesome! The cure for this should be in about one month: ALIEN ROMULUS. Let's just say Fede Alvarez's EVIL DEAD remake was anything but 'arty.'
This why Adam is one of the best reviewers, he doesn't try to spin his reviews, hes always brutally honest even when this movie is getting a 88 RT score. 🙄
Thank you! Thank you so effing much! This movie was utter garbage! SO bad! Especially Cage's performance! This is easily the most honest review of this movie I've seen.
I don't get why it was considered by some to be the "scariest" movie. The plot and characterization made no sense. It seemed to combine a serial killer movie with one about satanic influence, and many other elements. The main protagonist was said to have psychic powers and able to read the cryptic messages and was so lethargic in her reactions that she could hardly be qualified as an FBI agent: she was completely still when an entire family was about to be murdered, and when the guy killed himself by knocking his head on a table. I never understood the significance of the girls' birthdays either.
This movie would have been so much better if it was an actual serial killer as they actually exist which makes it more creepy. The doll thing sucked. The main women character annoyed me the whole way through. I was bored but I did find Nicolas cage amusing.
within the first seconds of the movie i thought "oh, it was going to be one of those movies" and it did not disappoint, it was one of those trash, garbage, stinky shit movie. i wish they could pay me for the time i lost watching this crap
So glad I found this!!! It’s such a terrible movie! How did they find the guy with just a picture took 30 years prior, with no name, no social media, no nothing? And the books? How come she pick up the exactly books and pages to know how to decipher the dates and letters? And where, where was that crowbar to begin with?????
Slow, drawn out and boring at times. I think it overly complicated story for little payoff. Even 3/4 through the movie, the movie has to recap and hand feed the audience what they just watched because the story is just not that solid.
30 year cold case and she solves it instantly. Grew up born and raised by the killer. the killers accomplice is a roommate in the basement. The final target is her boss I mean, how many layups. This is just like Midsomer, where no logical human on earth would make any of these decisions or be able to pull any of this off.
I had so many questions when this movie was over. 1. What happened in the beginning when the man was shot and she went upstairs? We never find out what the heck that was about. 2. Why the hell is he called Long Legs? Because he attacks kids and he's taller than them? 3. Why do the cops not investigate this case sooner? It seems like it was going on for long time. 4. How does our main character magically know the cypher for this stupid notes? 5. Why didn't the main FBI dude talk about how his daughter was born on the 14th? 6. Why does our main character dress like she fell out of a thrift store? There's so many more. Like nothing was explained in this movie and nothing was scary. COME ON!
You saved my wife and I from this movie. We were going to see it. I don't care for Nick when he is acting psycho. I hate it, as a matter of fact. Thank you!
what the hell did you think the movie was about 🤣 i literally don’t understand how you couldn’t have seen nick cage acting like a psycho being part of it? did you expect him to be quiet and reserved while playing a serial killer role? goodness me some of you are truly special
We’re so relieved it wasn’t just us who found this film to be a big nothing burger. I had such high hopes of this film. I wasn’t expecting jump scares and that’s fine- I don’t like jump scares particularly- but I did expect to feel sustained and building dread and I just didn’t. You have to “know someone in a film. You don’t have to like them, relate to them or root for them, but you have to have a handle on who they are. Everyone in this film was a cardboard cut out cipher.
Dude thank you! I saw so many reviews of this movie and warnings to stay away from spoilers so I only worked half a day and saw the opening premiere at my local theater…and I was like WTF is this? Am I watching the same movie they did? It’s that type of movie where if there’s not something truly scary they’ll just blast some ungodly loud sound to scare you. I hate loud sounds and classical conditioning (which I assume is what they are trying to do?) doesn’t work for this, it just makes me hate the loud noises. What was so unsettling about NC’s weird glam rocker mask? I mean I don’t think it’s supposed to be a mask in the movie, it’s his real face but…so what? He’s only in it briefly and I agree with the young girl at the desk, he;so some weirdo. And the “spoilers” I’m assuming they were all staying to stay away from are revealed early on for anyone not completely incapable of guessing why someone would get a card, be able to translate an unknown alphabet, guess that maybe that little girl in the last is this lady now! Wow, how shockingly impossibly not done in other films before! So not impressed. Whoever said not to compare it to Silence of the Lambs was right on the mark - that was a classic; this is just stylistic weirdness that isnt a classic or clever or a masterpiece or any other superlative I’ve seen lauded on it. 2/10.
@NewtonDKC I completely agree with you on this overrated movie. This movie has numerous very significant plot holes; and Nicolas Cage's character was goofy instead of scary. I'm glad I got a discount for this movie because I would be even more bothered by this lousy movie if I had to pay full price for it.

So glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a pile of crap. It's not even well acted or artsy as they're saying. It feels amateur copycat fresh out of film school approach. When she was at the desk with the bowl of cereal, OMFG that was annoying, it's like they thought these 1 point perspective shots will be awesome and sell this film. Yup no tension or atmosphere whatsoever in this film. It was a joke.
I get skeptical anytime a thriller is under 120 mins. This movie was only 100 mins long. Not alot of time for development and explanation. And it showed. Any thriller/horror films that are around 90 mins are usually borderline bad or awful. You can have alot of success with comedies under 120 mins but thrillers need time. If this movie was just 20 - 30 mins longer it wouldve been alot better. Also, Cage should've been a sicko not a weirdo. Weirdos arent scary. Just my opinion.
It was only 100 mins? My God it felt like it lasted hours. I was hoping for it to just end. I was so bored and Cage reminded me of the bee scene in WickerMan. 😅
Just got out of cinema. This was easily the worst movie I have seen in years. The acting was atrocious, the story was boring and predictable. Yes, the movie had a beautiful yellow filter laid over everything. But that`s about it. I don`t understand how people see this as a good movie - it is pretentious af, soulless and bad. Wannabe artsy, Nic Cage overacting like a theater kid. A main character that somehow became a FBI detetctive despite being constantly scared, introvert and unable to talk to people. What is that?
Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the Denis Villeneuve-ification of movies (I know it's not just his influence, but he's kind of become the posterboy for me). Slow and vacant and mood-lit doesn't equal deep. Blade Runner is my favorite film, it's slow as hell, but it's serving a specific atmosphere. Most films that employ this now are just trying to avoid stepping on any "rakes" by not making any bold decisions.
why would that equal deep? If it's just the style of the movie, maybe the director wants it to be distinct from other horror movies, maybe it's the way of creating tension and setting up atmosphere etc.
I gave this movie 15 or 20 minutes to rope me in, to no avail. So I left. There was no shape or life to any of the dialogue or action. I was bored bored bored. I don’t mind a slow paced film, but this had no movement.
I feel like while filming, they changed how things were going to play out. There was a point in the movie where a 911 call was played by one of the murdering fathers, and he said something to the effect of his daughter “not being her” before her killed her. When they found that first doll and did the “autopsy,” my first thought was there was some psychic aspect of the doll that drove the families insane and convinced them their own families were not real. Up to that point when they found the first doll, I was pretty captivated by the tone, cinematography, tension, and story. If the movie would have carried the psychic idea and used the ciphers (which ended being nonsensical), it could have been great. But the switch to the devil the way they did it felt like a cheap cop out of a resolution that they think didn’t pan out.
Huge horror fan here, I’m one of the people who hates artistic/elevated horror movies. After I saw this one, I’m glad to say I really enjoyed this one. One of the artsy horror movie that really works for me.
@@salsa_blanco The atmosphere and the cleverness with the murder mystery stuff. I think it’s the performance from Manila Monroe that really elevates the movie making me feel in the edge of my seat while I’m watching. And the third act and twist was really damn good! I think this one of the pretentious horror movie that doesn’t feel too pretentious and artsy, so that’s why it works for me.
@@77Creation The cool thing about horror genre is that it’s so subjective. Probably one of the genre that has one of the most controversial opinions because not everyone can handle blood gore.
Barbarian’s appeal was suspense that turned into some comedic relief. Longlegs was just trying to be eerie like a wannabe hereditary but the story was to disjointed and all together thoughtless.
I hate this movie so much that I will never ever admit I saw it because I am so embarrassed that I didn't walk out of this POS!! Horrible! I don't think I have ever hated a film like this piece of garbage!!!!!!
The worst part they did a brilliant job, hyping it up for so long. I feel just like you do sorry last night and regret spending the money on it. Everybody in the theater walked out disappoint.
Quick correction on the video. I meant to say the music sounds like it's pulled from "The Shining", not "Psycho". One thousand apologies for the mistake.
I didn't like Barbarian.
1,001 Do-Not-Accept-Your-Apologies! lol. :)

i hated it as well

Watched this tonight and left frustrated. There were so many cool elements and ideas but they DID NOTHING WITH THEM!
@@jovanjonck 100% why I was raging at this film. It *could* have been fucking fantastic, but all the ideas were half baked.

It started off great; intriguing, creepy and atmospheric... then it fell it apart at the half way point and became rediculous and silly
My exact thoughts, really great intro and setup. Shit climax and falling resolution
Exactly
The first half was fantastic. Completely went the opposite way after that.
fucking, hated it.
i LOVED the opening scene. but after that, TRASH
It was so silly it was stunned. No joke, there are episodes of Are you Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps scarier then this damn movie😅
They tried to push every single button, basement, dolls, clowns, nuns, mind manipulation, slasher, satanic worship, faustian bargain, procedural, fbi, artsy, weird protagonist, sixth sense, sole survivor kid, occult, cryptology, blah blah, but none of them worked. It was the crappiest movie I've seen recently, and in one word it's just cringe. None of the scenes was scary, the serial killer was like a joke, nothing about the plot made sense to me. 2/10 and that's only for photography of the film
i mean... they all work, they literally just didn't work on any of them... they said 'hey heres a pattern for no reason, okay next thing we're not coming back to that' 'oh this guy kills himself and says hail satan for no reason' and nothing happens with that, no weird twist, its over and done... oh plot twist, exactly what's been happening happens again, but to the protagonists friend, and she literally watches it happen then lets it happen and kills everyone when she coulda just stopped it in the first place... zzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm grateful this some parts of this movie creep me out.. I'm really sorry to you
100% it tried so hard and did nothing
Wow, I am so happy to find your comment because I almost thought everyone enjoyed it. It actually is one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. And also it was not scary at all, just cringy and dumb.
FR. it feels like it's lazily executed. Because the guilt is on the "demon" that possessed the dolls to explain everything that happened to the families. And boom, tragedies. There's no depths in the story
I'm so glad I'm not going crazy. I feel like I woke up in an alternate universe with all this critical acclaim. The movie is barely passable as entertaining. Definitely not scary. One of many times I've gone to the movies and wanted my time or my money back. It follows was way better.
True, and It Follows would be better titled "It Bores."
@@sunsin1592It Follows was at least creepy
Can someone tell me why the killer is called longlegs? And also can they tell me how they found him just randomly stood on the side of the road with absolutely no explanation as to how they knew to look there? 😂 this movie was such a let down my god
Also - why did she not just smash the last doll up?
I was actually livid during that scene, That’s how you catch the Sadistic Satanic serial killer with 38 kills on his resume on the side of the road? What a massive fart this film was.
They actually found him btw because Harkers hoarder mother had the Polaroid that Lee took when she was younger. That’s all it took for police to start swarming I guess. This movie just gets worse and worse the more I think about it.
@@corychapman46 cheers man. It’s just so half arsed. Literally 0 effort in certain areas 🤣
Exactly what I was thinking. It would have been logical to find him in the basement of the mother’s house, but I guess that would not have worked for the ending, since they needed to reveal that he had been living with the mom for years. Damn this movie sucked.
Soo glad im not crazy ! THIS SUCKED !!!
It really did suck
Bro I thought I was the only one too.
So yeah it was a Horror, Mystery, Possession type thing. So many questions. Is the little girl now possed by the Devil? What happens now to the Agent? Why was longlegs called longlegs? Why did he pick Her mom to work for him? Where's the Dad? I could go on lol
@ohq80 I stopped caring at " The Killer kills on girls birthdays" FBI Boss" How do we stop him ? Who knows...anyway my daughters birthday is coming up.."
we are gonna see more and more of the masses praising movies that suck because it’s true that people are becoming more and more stupid the further ahead into the future we go. Everything about this movie sucked.
This was like going to a 5 star restaurant, expecting a Wellington or a filet and the waiter brings you a bologna sandwich and shitty beans
Wait, you’re telling me that if some random lady came to your house and said “congrats, you won this gift from the church! What is it? Oh it’s a realistic doll that looks like your daughter! Coincidence! Just make sure to keep it in your house cause ya know, everyone knows churches do this! Not creepy at all! Not unusual. Everyone would just let this happen ;)”…. So dumb.
Thank you!! I'm glad someone realizes how stupid that is- especially when someone goes up to the door of an FBI agent investigating a crime having to do with a devil worshipping serial k!ller. The movie looks good, but it is a pretentious mess overflowing with major plot holes. I was hoping this would be similar to The Silence of the Lambs. Boy, oh boy, was I wrong!
Yeah, like the FBI agent had seen a doll exactly like that before in the barn. Also, why wasn't there anyone else at the birthday party? They seemed like a pretty social, well adjusted family.
@roastbeefy0weefy Good point. It was weird that only the main protagonist was invited to the party. Doesn't the young birthday girl have any friends her own age to attend her birthday party?
I imagine we only see the 1 out of ten times it works
The “random lady” is dressed as a nun to trick ppl into trusting her. They don’t know what’s in the box until they bring it in for their kid to open it. At that point it’s already too late and Satan or whatever possesses the family.
I am really surprised at how many people are praising this movie and Nic Cage's performance, I thought it was kind of awful. Seriously disappointed, the marketing promised something smart and twisted, this movie felt like "Nic Cage does a creepypasta story written by an edgy 14 year old."
You forget there’s a cool 70s filter effect
She was a psychic genius, but she didn’t go downstairs in her own childhood home for 20 years?
have you even seen the film? the mom literally explains that the doll (devil) made her forget and tell her where to look… basically brainwashed her the entire time she was there.
@@energyismygameEven more ridiculous indeed. 😅
@@energyismygame And you were satisfied with that it seems.
@jacksonscott690 did you miss the part where the she had her memories suppressed??
Dolt
You guys can explain to those people how they totally missed that the movie literally spelled out why she could never look in the basements…throughout the movie implicitly and then explicitly, and then they’ll pretend that the explanation is dumb cause magic isn’t realistic 🙄…as if they only ever like 100% realistic movies 🙄
So many moments I honestly though the joke was on me and this movie was a dark comedic send-up of horror-thrillers. Nope. This movie was so far up its own ass it was looking through its own eyeballs.
Agree. I laughed out loud when he was randomly standing on a road looking like Bozo the Clown. I think even Nic Cage had to be like "did the check clear? They are paying me for this crap?"
This movie feels like a bad adaptation of a book that doesnt exist
That’s a great analogy lol
That's actually pretty accurate.
lol underrated comment.. u know nic cage was in a decent serial killer movie..a real one called FROZEN GROUND about robert hansen..he was good in that
Spoile alert........
correct me if I'm wrong but Longlegs wasn't a serial killer, in fact he didn't kill anyone at all!
Well he was killing people before he showed up to the Harker house, he showed up there in 1974 and the first killing was 1966. He may have had another accomplice before Lee’s mother but that doesn’t seem likely. Lee also doesn’t appear to have a father figure, so maybe he had the mom make a deal with the devil instead of having the father kill the family? I don’t know lol
During her psych evaluation at the beginning they shoe her an inverted triangle and she says "father"
@@jacobbrown3479 Yes but wasn't he still killing them in the same manner? So he still didn't "kill" anyone. Hence why there was no physical evidence at all.
@@duskfiend9358 daddy ..... longlegs
i think the dumbest part was when she allowed her boss to kill his wife SHE LITERALLY HEARD THE DUDE SAY "im coming back but youre not." LIKE WHAT???
Bro same!! It was so fucking stupid and she literally saw her mom shoot her agent friend and all she does is gawk at her knowing full well she's possessing both the parents and the daughter.
@@kingoflepers she created the calendar ?? Wow
Well, her mum was telling her that all three of the family members have to die, otherwise her and her mum's souls would be going to hell forever. She was probably wondering whether she should let them die or save them. Obviously she gathered herself and decided to at least save the little girl.
I probably would have let them all die because I wouldn't wanna go to hell forever. 😂
I think that the wife was also possessed. I noticed the flinched when talking. Also, in one of the murders we saw that the mother was in sone sort of trance, while the husband committed the killings. Perhaps it was too late.
@@JDE1995 fight flight or FREEZE
Yo when they showed longlegs singing on the tv in the fbi office and then abruptly turned it off and said, "it goes on like that" i almost pissed myself from laughing

Was so disappointed by it. Didn’t watch reviews, waited to see it in cinema. Why did they have a supernatural twist to it. For me it took away from the film! It just ruined it. Makes me want to cry.
LongLegs wasn’t a recluse…they knew him at that hardware store. It would seem that if you have a series of unsolved, grisly, bizarre murders…if I’m police or FBI IN that area……he might be worth talking just due to the EVERYTHING about him.
She even knew him as "the creepy guy"
To be fair, he wouldn’t be arrested cause he doesn’t actually murder them directly so it wouldn’t matter and probably has a clear past
@@gingerjesus7012 You have nothing to ARREST him on. But maybe…question him? He’s an accomplice and a witness.
Did they even explain why he called himself Longlegs? Also because he didn't murder them directly, what was their cause for arrest, a few letters, a suspicion of involvement, a hunch? I don't think that would hold for long. Actually I take it back, he did write a lot about one of the murders, I guess that?
@@geoffreypereira8024 the people who knew him at the hardware store just seen him as a weirdo/creep. Most likely a junkee if I seen him so I doubt they would report him to the police over just being an extremely weird customer specifically to the murders. So therefore the police can’t be suspicious of him without any actual proof
Eschewing all the psychological takes and just having it be "cursed black magic" really ruined the movie for me. Really? Fucking magic?
That's the same problem I have with the movie. I thought he would be just a straight-up serial killer. No hocus pocus.
Nah! Satan! Again! If it isn’t Satan it’s one of his demon minions. It’s getting a bit stale, isn’t it?
Exactly how I felt. It just fell flat with that "It was actually SATAN all along!" factor
"Turns out the devil was the bad guy "
@@crystalshaw8744yea they should have went that route.
my biggest gripe is that the main characters did not realize that Agent Carter's Daughter's Birthday was taking place on the day the couldnt figure out?? Are you freaking serious?? I am sure i am not the only one who called it when she got invited to her birthday!! LIKE SERIOUSLY!
I also hated it. Slow, boring, just a mess. Nothing happens. I got up to grab snacks, waited in line, came back and didnt miss anything. I’m mad I paid full price to see this mess.

That makes no sense since the first half was amazing
Welp. I decided to go with the critic's majority opinion, and I just saw the movie. And now I have nothing but regrets. It wasn't scary. It wasn't creepy. It was just stupid and slow. So if someone likes their stupid with a big dose of slow to really let the stupid soak in, they'll love this. But I'm just mad that I was persuaded to give them my money to see it.
It was weird watching it. Until the last scene I still didn't know if there really was a supernatural element or not. And why tf is the movie called Longlegs again ?
@@brandish8215 I think it was clear there's a supernatural element when theyre examining the silver ball and the FBI agent gets a demonic vision. And you see a dark cloud leave her head when the doll gets shot.
this movie fused two styles of horror that i’m completely sick to death of, satanic possessions and serial killer investigations. the film wasn’t remotely scary, and i’m a huge fan of slow burn horror, hereditary is probably my favourite horror film. people seem to think nicolas cage was disturbing and horrifying here, i found him genuinely laughable at times, i was so unconvinced by his performance.
i was so embarrassed every time nic cage was on screen i had to cover my eyes from the pain of the cringe
??? wtf is wrong with you 🤡
Actors are trash these days 😂😂😂
Movies fucking suck these days it’s honestly hilarious
Actors are just glorified psychopaths
3:25 😂😂😂
Just watched this with my fiancee and her best friend. Disappointment across the board. A "modern take on Silence of the Lambs" Longlegs is not.
..... Absolutely LOUSY movie. Saw it this past week. The script was VERY weak. This movie was MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Thanks for your honest review sir!
Yup, weak script.
Thank you!! I thought I was taking crazy pills with everyone talking about how amazing Nick Cage's performance was. I kept having flashbacks of Ghost Rider during his scenes. My husband and I were laughing to ourselves whenever he was on, it was so ridiculous. That closing scene, I laughed so loud and laughed some more when I realized I was the only one laughing as the end credits came on. 🤦
yeah, hail satan 'smooch' lmfao, this was an epic nicholas cage comedy, his most over the top yet. I can't wait for his scenes to get uploaded
@@willhuck9179 That "Hail Satan" made me think of those adorable Satanic woodland creatures from that South Park episode. LMAO
Oh thank god… I had to suffocate myself in the theater during his performances. When the end credits rolled I laughed out loud. How was no one else laughing but me!? I can’t believe anyone found that performance scary…
@@randomness326 Yes! Any time someone say it was so creepy or scary or whatever. I was like did we watch the same movie?!
The part that pissed me off the most is when she sees someone outside her place and goes outside to investigate. She turns around and sees someone inside her place. She goes back in, gun still out, and sees an envelope on her desk. She sits downs and opens the envelope. WTF!? So let’s not look around the place looking for the person who was….JUST INSIDE YOUR FUCKNG HOUSE…no, let’s sit down and open an envelope. Jesus. This movie was complete ass.
This movie was shit. I’m so disappointed. The last movie to scare me in the theater was hereditary!!
It’s trash 🗑️
try talk to me or late night with the devil
Really hereditary that ending amazing but not scary for me
The best 2024 Nicolas Cage movie is Arcadian.
Hereditary is the scariest movie of all time.
Seen this yesterday. Myself and my friend left the cinema early. Very disappointed.
Silence of the lambs it’s not. Agree about zodiac a 10 times better movie. This film is a waste of time.
The movie was not scary at all.
Comparing this to silence of the lambs or seven is like Comparing burnt toast to rib eye steak ffs what a let down.
FINALLY AN ACCURATE AND HONEST REVIEW!
I was laughing in the theatre, I just don’t understand how anyone could take this movie seriously
I agree man this movie wasn't scary at all, story was confusing, and nicholas cage reveal wasn't a "HUGE" reveal.

I haven't seen it yet. But, I have to give you credit. Nearly everyone from critics, to TH-cam reviewers, and cinephiles are all collectively riding this movie's dick like it's going out of style. Film fans can be brutal when people don't agree with them. It's like they automatically think their taste is being insulted. You're continuing to make your videos and being honest with how you genuinely feel. Regardless of if it seems like a movie fan minority opinion on social media. I respect that.
It's a good movie, this guy & his four friends are miserable as hell.
Either that, or they just didn't enjoy themselves. It's all subjective. I'll watch it and see how I feel myself. Like with anything. @@ardenaudreyarji
@@ardenaudreyarji Well its their opinion, if you dislike something that doesnt make you miserable, infact, Longlegs was miserable!
I think I'd have appreciated this movie a bit more without the legions of clowns and shills telling me that its one of the greatest films ever made. No. No, it really isnt. Its a mediocre indie film at best.
I agree with most of what you’ve said here. In fact you captured more or less exactly how I felt about the film. However, I disagree with one point: I actually don’t think there is a story worth salvaging. It was one horror movie trope after another with some formulaic A24 seasoning. Utter garbage.
I could not stay awake watching this movie and I kept trying because all the reviews talk about how great it is. It is horrible. It is boring. It is nothing but what I need to figure out now is how people think it’s a good movie. I cannot relate, even a teeny tiny bit.
😂😂😂😂😂 fucken dogshit movie
Me either. Not one bit.
When nameless asian cop was with main FBI protagonist at the murder witness' house and said "you go, I'll just wait in the car", I almost nearly blurted "Cover more ground that way".
Literally anyone can guess what happens immeidately after.
The film was really predictable
Actually, the protagonist asked if she could go in on her own.
I also knew once the FBI guy introduced her to his family (like why insist??) ...again you can guess what happens to that family
Biggest eye roll of the movie. She goes “I’ll just go in, tell her she’s needed for questioning…” ……….. tension tension tension TENSHINNNN, her response?
“…alright. I’ll wait here” what a fuckin nail biter.
Main character also had a clear line of fire at the person she just saw murder with a fucking shotgun lmaoo. Instead she goes outside to get closer to her? Like what.
They advertised this movie as scariest film of the year, absolutly NOTHING was scary about this film, the only sinister felt was when they eyes of the dolls would look evil. Other then that the whole movies was very underwhelming. 1/10 wish id known it was nicholas cage woulda watched it.
I stopped caring after this dialogue exchange, " We have no physical evidence that longlegs has ever committed a murder" " But he probably has an accomplice" Don't worry about that, we got longlegs in custody with us". This movie doesn't know what kind of movie it is, no thrill, no good police investigation, shock value, and no suspense.
Cage looked like if Tiny Tim and Marilyn Manson had a baby
I was hoping for a cat and mouse chase with a really smart serial killer. I’m so sick of horror movies going “satanic”. It’s just not shocking and I feel it’s lazy. There’s no point to the killings. No point in any of their actions. I was definitely left frustrated and checking the time multiple times throughout the movie.
When I saw it was going to the satanic route, the nun costume, the crucifix, I was like "really? 🙄".
I saw it last night and didn’t like it. It was slow, kinda boring, not scary and very predictable! I thought I was the only one who hated it. Lee literally just stood there and let Ruby’s mom get murdered!
She also just stood there at the window, watching the officer get shot. Then took her sweet time going down the stairs after the murder. Hate this movie!
movie was slow and boring
This movie was so dull, boring, and frustrating to watch. Just dark monochromatic cinematography and dark music with string instruments. Like yeah, it was melancholy af. But it wasn’t scary or haunting or anything. So fucking boring.
At some point I thought “wait is this camp? Is this supposed to be funny?” This movie is indescribably bad.
It was hilarious! 😂 didn't quite hit camp because the cinematography was stunning but very close!
i felt like i was being pranked
if you want to watch a movie that`s bad but in a funny kind of way, go for "Night Swim". Watched it in theater last year and couldn`t stop laughing.
When I saw the father finishing his family under a crucifix and the whole Satan thing, I thought "oh well, it's one of those movies" and rolled my eyes. The investigation was dead, the protagonist did nothing the whole movie and there were a lot of unanswered questions.
It wants to be a silent of the lambs with the conjuring. Instead it's the nun and some other bad horror movie.
It was a 10 until the third act... became a 5. Fuck the story and end was terrible.... The most generic lazy shallow reason for murders.
Agree with adam....shit film not scary n so slow.cage was just nick cage in drag
@@petemcaleese7648 casual
I actually think I might not have disliked Cage’s performance if he just wasnt Nicolas Cage. It seemed appropriate for this character perhaps, but its still the same loud, crazy, overexaggerated, “not the bees!”, acting that we expect from him.
Sweet!!! I'm in.
I can't believe how much I don't not disagree with this comment. thanks for sharing.
Do you hate fun? he was awesome.
I actually think Nick Cage is a great actor. He gives it his all. It takes a director, editor, and producer to agree on a final edit. Nick cage good. Director/editor bad
😂😂😂
I hated Cage's performance. It was a rehash of EVERY other weirdo who kills people in movies. The makeup, the singing, and the plastic surgery are silly, not scary.
Nicolas Cage got the Lisa Rinna special from the makeup crew.
lmfao
They “tired” so hard to make something, but it comes across boring, drawn out, cold, emotionless, and you feel no attachment to any character, therefore not caring or rooting for anyone. Nic Cages character is sooo ridiculously over the top he comes across as goofy, campy, and laughable. Umm and to whoever gave the “ok” to the special effects makeup on him, what in the actual hell is wrong with you 😂?
I have so many unanswered questions after watching Longlegs...And also, I felt I was watching a 3 hour movie...which did not give me anything apart from good shots and a story which I knew could have been handled better.
I see everyone glazing this movie but I found it to be trash, I was like I can’t be the only one, and I really do like movies with complex plots and characters….🤷🏽♂️

I was fighting the slumber myself
0:55😂 That’s the whole movie 😂
Just saw this movie in theaters, it’s terrible
no problem with the pacing or a slow burn. Cage sunk the movie the moment he was on screen. I don't know if another actor could have saved this in that role... probably yes. His performance was uncomfortable to watch, but because it was scary, but because it was embarrassing. It became very clear why they hid him in the trailer.
I heard that she has spidey senses and that sounds stupid
You and I have the same taste bro. Barbarian had a good first half then turned into utter trash.
Longlegs is shit from the first minute.
Appreciate this, it cuts like a knife through the fog of deification. Social Media is flooded with idiot "critics," my guard was up immediately when one was gushing about his earlier GRETEL AND HANSEL (dragged on and pretentious). For some reason nobody mentions SINISTER - a movie that 1) begins a crime procedural, shit taped to walls, old footage of family murders across the years, then veers into SATAN. But SINISTER was awesome!
The cure for this should be in about one month: ALIEN ROMULUS. Let's just say Fede Alvarez's EVIL DEAD remake was anything but 'arty.'
This why Adam is one of the best reviewers, he doesn't try to spin his reviews, hes always brutally honest even when this movie is getting a 88 RT score. 🙄
Thank you! Thank you so effing much! This movie was utter garbage! SO bad! Especially Cage's performance! This is easily the most honest review of this movie I've seen.
I don't get why it was considered by some to be the "scariest" movie. The plot and characterization made no sense. It seemed to combine a serial killer movie with one about satanic influence, and many other elements. The main protagonist was said to have psychic powers and able to read the cryptic messages and was so lethargic in her reactions that she could hardly be qualified as an FBI agent: she was completely still when an entire family was about to be murdered, and when the guy killed himself by knocking his head on a table. I never understood the significance of the girls' birthdays either.
I could not agree with you more. So glad I’m not alone. 😅
This movie would have been so much better if it was an actual serial killer as they actually exist which makes it more creepy. The doll thing sucked. The main women character annoyed me the whole way through. I was bored but I did find Nicolas cage amusing.

5. Why didn't the main FBI dude talk about how his daughter was born on the 14th?
6. Why does our main character dress like she fell out of a thrift store?
There's so many more. Like nothing was explained in this movie and nothing was scary. COME ON!
You saved my wife and I from this movie. We were going to see it. I don't care for Nick when he is acting psycho. I hate it, as a matter of fact. Thank you!
what the hell did you think the movie was about 🤣 i literally don’t understand how you couldn’t have seen nick cage acting like a psycho being part of it? did you expect him to be quiet and reserved while playing a serial killer role? goodness me some of you are truly special
We’re so relieved it wasn’t just us who found this film to be a big nothing burger. I had such high hopes of this film. I wasn’t expecting jump scares and that’s fine- I don’t like jump scares particularly- but I did expect to feel sustained and building dread and I just didn’t. You have to “know someone in a film. You don’t have to like them, relate to them or root for them, but you have to have a handle on who they are. Everyone in this film was a cardboard cut out cipher.
Dude thank you! I saw so many reviews of this movie and warnings to stay away from spoilers so I only worked half a day and saw the opening premiere at my local theater…and I was like WTF is this? Am I watching the same movie they did? It’s that type of movie where if there’s not something truly scary they’ll just blast some ungodly loud sound to scare you. I hate loud sounds and classical conditioning (which I assume is what they are trying to do?) doesn’t work for this, it just makes me hate the loud noises. What was so unsettling about NC’s weird glam rocker mask? I mean I don’t think it’s supposed to be a mask in the movie, it’s his real face but…so what? He’s only in it briefly and I agree with the young girl at the desk, he;so some weirdo. And the “spoilers” I’m assuming they were all staying to stay away from are revealed early on for anyone not completely incapable of guessing why someone would get a card, be able to translate an unknown alphabet, guess that maybe that little girl in the last is this lady now! Wow, how shockingly impossibly not done in other films before! So not impressed. Whoever said not to compare it to Silence of the Lambs was right on the mark - that was a classic; this is just stylistic weirdness that isnt a classic or clever or a masterpiece or any other superlative I’ve seen lauded on it. 2/10.
It’s a pile of horse shit
@NewtonDKC I completely agree with you on this overrated movie. This movie has numerous very significant plot holes; and Nicolas Cage's character was goofy instead of scary. I'm glad I got a discount for this movie because I would be even more bothered by this lousy movie if I had to pay full price for it.

So glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a pile of crap. It's not even well acted or artsy as they're saying. It feels amateur copycat fresh out of film school approach. When she was at the desk with the bowl of cereal, OMFG that was annoying, it's like they thought these 1 point perspective shots will be awesome and sell this film. Yup no tension or atmosphere whatsoever in this film. It was a joke.
I get skeptical anytime a thriller is under 120 mins. This movie was only 100 mins long. Not alot of time for development and explanation. And it showed. Any thriller/horror films that are around 90 mins are usually borderline bad or awful. You can have alot of success with comedies under 120 mins but thrillers need time. If this movie was just 20 - 30 mins longer it wouldve been alot better. Also, Cage should've been a sicko not a weirdo. Weirdos arent scary. Just my opinion.
If it was any longer I would have started manifesting demons in the cinema! Way too slow! Nothing happens until the last 15 minutes.
It was only 100 mins? My God it felt like it lasted hours. I was hoping for it to just end. I was so bored and Cage reminded me of the bee scene in WickerMan. 😅
Just got out of cinema. This was easily the worst movie I have seen in years. The acting was atrocious, the story was boring and predictable. Yes, the movie had a beautiful yellow filter laid over everything. But that`s about it. I don`t understand how people see this as a good movie - it is pretentious af, soulless and bad. Wannabe artsy, Nic Cage overacting like a theater kid. A main character that somehow became a FBI detetctive despite being constantly scared, introvert and unable to talk to people. What is that?
Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the Denis Villeneuve-ification of movies (I know it's not just his influence, but he's kind of become the posterboy for me). Slow and vacant and mood-lit doesn't equal deep. Blade Runner is my favorite film, it's slow as hell, but it's serving a specific atmosphere. Most films that employ this now are just trying to avoid stepping on any "rakes" by not making any bold decisions.
Seriously, great points! Blade Runner is one of my favorites too.
why would that equal deep? If it's just the style of the movie, maybe the director wants it to be distinct from other horror movies, maybe it's the way of creating tension and setting up atmosphere etc.
THANK YOU
Villeneuve is an overrated bland director and his blandness is infecting other films
@@jimbeam2299 who should be talked about as much as Villeneuve among currently working directors in your opinion?
Nothing can top Hereditary.
I gave this movie 15 or 20 minutes to rope me in, to no avail. So I left. There was no shape or life to any of the dialogue or action. I was bored bored bored. I don’t mind a slow paced film, but this had no movement.
I feel like while filming, they changed how things were going to play out. There was a point in the movie where a 911 call was played by one of the murdering fathers, and he said something to the effect of his daughter “not being her” before her killed her. When they found that first doll and did the “autopsy,” my first thought was there was some psychic aspect of the doll that drove the families insane and convinced them their own families were not real.
Up to that point when they found the first doll, I was pretty captivated by the tone, cinematography, tension, and story. If the movie would have carried the psychic idea and used the ciphers (which ended being nonsensical), it could have been great. But the switch to the devil the way they did it felt like a cheap cop out of a resolution that they think didn’t pan out.
Huge horror fan here, I’m one of the people who hates artistic/elevated horror movies. After I saw this one, I’m glad to say I really enjoyed this one. One of the artsy horror movie that really works for me.
Nice! Glad it worked for you.
Would also like to hear what you like because this movie sucked
@@salsa_blanco The atmosphere and the cleverness with the murder mystery stuff. I think it’s the performance from Manila Monroe that really elevates the movie making me feel in the edge of my seat while I’m watching. And the third act and twist was really damn good! I think this one of the pretentious horror movie that doesn’t feel too pretentious and artsy, so that’s why it works for me.
I usually hate McJumpscare franchise gore fests but hey? To each their own.
@@77Creation The cool thing about horror genre is that it’s so subjective. Probably one of the genre that has one of the most controversial opinions because not everyone can handle blood gore.
Barbarian’s appeal was suspense that turned into some comedic relief.
Longlegs was just trying to be eerie like a wannabe hereditary but the story was to disjointed and all together thoughtless.
I hate this movie so much that I will never ever admit I saw it because I am so embarrassed that I didn't walk out of this POS!! Horrible! I don't think I have ever hated a film like this piece of garbage!!!!!!
It suckz ass
But do you hate it?
The worst part they did a brilliant job, hyping it up for so long. I feel just like you do sorry last night and regret spending the money on it. Everybody in the theater walked out disappoint.
Spiderman across the spider verse was worse
