Longlegs Review: Does It Live Up To The Hype?

- Osgood Perkins, the son of the iconic Psycho star Anthony Perkins, has crafted one of the darkest, most nihilistic horror movies I’ve seen in years. A fellow critic turned to me as the credits rolled as asked me, “dude, did we just see a classic?” While it’s too early to say, I nevertheless found myself deeply shaken by this nightmarish thriller.

Seeing Nicholas Cage go from a demented revenge driven husband to a quiet reserved janitor fighter to a goofy interpretation of Dracula to a hideous insane killer just shows his insane acting skill
He’s been on a roll lately. Dream Scenario, Reinfield, now Longlegs. He’s doing a speed run across all the genres and is nailing it so well in every role. He’s so underrated
@@rari2943 have you seen Mandy and color out of space? Two of the best movies ever made literally
@@crimsonngb32 no I don’t think I’ve heard of those, I’ll definitely check them out though.
@@rari2943 the first one Mandy is what I was referring to in the comment about the demented husband
@@crimsonngb32 ah ok. I was wondering so I’ll check it out
The fact that you used a photo of gary glitter to describe Nicholas Cage's character lets me know how f*cuked up he'll be
I agree! Gary Glitter was a pedo creep.
Too compare anything to gary glitter is actually quite a low blow for the movie as that sick person should just be forgotten.
He started his career specializing in f’ed up characters, and then he went mainstream. I’m glad he’s returning to the kind of parts he played so well in his youth.
Horror movie staring a Jimmy Saville styled character would be some scary shit
@@superfurryfox1 Hows about that then never mind jim will fix it jimmy here to fix you up real good
Longlegs, Maxxxine, and Nosferatu all in the same year, a good time for horror fans.
And a Quiet Place Day One which is not really horror but I heard it has a lot of jump scare moments
Alien: Romulus
Terrifier 3 is my most anticipated grindhouse horror
maxxine is not horror lool.
Quiet place day one was ass 😂@@Model_Roe
I thought this was going to be a monster movie about a giant spider.
same xD
No that’s Sting
I thought it was gonna be a giraffe...
Thats Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal
I thought it was going to be about a man sowing people together to make a spider
Thank you for not spoiling this and respecting fans need to see it for themselves.
This and Robert Eggers Nosferatu are the two films I'm looking forward to, longlegs looks like it'll be more unnerving.
Have you seen the trailer for Cuckoo??? Looks really really solid
@@furleysbrain just watched it now, you're right.
Mandy? Or Color out of Space ..highly recommend both..✌️
@@Monz805 color out of space is an inferior film as it does not include cheddar goblin 😎🤣
Assferatu
Nic’s voice from the trailer sent a chill down my spine
😂
H U U H U H
UOHHHHHUOHHHHH
T H E R E S H E I I I I I S S S S S
Maika owns the horror genre. I have faith that above all: she will deliver. The cast is refined and smart, so I will go into this excited but cautious. Can’t wait.
Agree 💯 I think Mia Goth and Maika Monroe are the new scream queens of the 2020s taking the throne from Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt
What else has she been in? Not familiar with her work
@@robalexander2016 She was in Watcher
@@Model_RoeTRUE
? She hasn’t really done anything herself to stand out, just been in some good movies
I can't wait to see this movie.
We need an intense horror movie that’s going to make you feel uneasy, thinking about it at night. That’s how I want it to be. This has a feeling to it that it might be good. I hope so
its horrible
@@mitchwayland7687Horrible as in tense asf and anxiety inducing, yeah.
This movie might give me nightmares and I cannot wait!
There are ppl who seen it at a early screen saying that the movie is really good but also disturbing
I'm a bit worried that long legs might not be a serial killer he might be an entity..... You don't actually see him kill anybody in the trailers....
@@realitysven Think they didn’t want to show too much, we’ll just have to wait and see once it comes out
@@realitysvenwell you do see him tying up someone in the tralier
Have you seen the trailer? It’s creepy as fuck
I heard the same thing like it's getting rave reviews but everybody is saying it's very disturbing
You have me starving for this movie when I was already drooling with anticipation. How dare. (Great job)
Blackcoat's daughter was such a haunting experience.
It does not contain lots of jumpscares but the atmosphere was so well built.....
I cannot express how much I wait for this and especially to see Nic as Longlegs.
Amen!!!
Delighted I watched this now. I have been looking forward to this film since I first heard about it and I'm glad that such positive things were said about it.
Does the sound design in the trailer play similarly in the film?
Cause that scary breathing and Hoo Hoo from Cage is so good
Yes the sound design in the actual movie is a real standout, there are some harrowing scenes. Screaming especially, the sound is tuned perfectly to where it feels like my head was gonna blow up LOL
I can’t wait!!! Looks fantastic and I’m a huge fan of Seven & Silence of the Lambs.
I didn't find it scary and didn't think about it much afterwards. I even found it a bit ridiculous at the end. Waste of my time.
Yup I just got out of it. It looked cool but ultimately kinda sucked.
looking forward to it next week.
I have no idea how you enjoyed this so much, I was so utterly disappointed in this movie. I love me a slow burn, but by the half way point I was hoping I could just fall asleep so as to not irritate my girlfriend with how bored I was. The final act was so goddamn dumb that I can't recommend this movie to anyone.
100% same. idk why all these people are loving it
@@ren.sparks I was so mad I made a Rotten Tomatoes account lol
@@charlespeter5610 VALID. I may need to do that as well lol
Yep. Very True. I was with my girlfriend too and we both didn't like none of it. It wasn't scary, it's just bad, the ending was very predictable because of how they presented it and they also did the ending dirty, it should've ended a lot longer.
@@charlespeter5610
SAME
These comments are wild. Either people loved it, or they aggressively, AGGRESSIVELY, hated it. It may not have been the scariest movie I’ve ever seen but I liked how dark the themes were and it kept me interested the whole time. Overall I have to say I really liked this one.
Last time I got so hyped was before A night with the devil, which was a huge disappointment imo. Hope longlegs delivers.
Yeah that one kind of sucked.
Agreed. I kept waiting to be scared and never really got that feeling. I guess people are easier frightened nowadays.
@@funkrobot9762 If people didn't describe it as terrifying it would've been much better. I still liked it, but it was much different than I anticipated.
*Longlegs* is probably a completely different beast...pun intended.
@@marvindaughtry6237the TikTok crowd is scared of everything apparently
I only hope that long legs is an actual seriel killer and not some imaginary ghost or something Because in the trailer you see other people doing the killing that would suck big time
Looking forward to this even more now! Can't wait to see Longlegs next weekend!
I hope it's released in my country THIS year, at least...
The fact kids are getting murdered in this movie makes it terrifying right there without even seeing it yet. I’m so hype.
😂
The same thing they're giving Terrorizer grief over possibly doing. Wow.
You hyped about seeing kids die?
Pretty sure they are happy in the sense that something different will happen. Traditionally kids in movies when out in peril usually get out fine and unfazed. So it’s hard for the audience to grasp any sort of belief in the peril when we always know they’ll be fine. It’s nice long legs will be switching it up. Most studious nowadays will never green light something if a kid dies in the movie. I’m just excited because it’s different and we could see something we don’t always see
@@artworkkitchen7056 this is only true if you watch mainstream horror movies and not even really then. Indie horror kids are never safe.
I thought it was ridiculous and stupid. Why would the FBI not have it on file that the same woman from “the church” visited with a doll before every family was killed?? Did they just not do their due diligence? Bc that sorta clue is usually glaring esp if the woman from the church is the main character’s mother. What a stupid movie. If this is the new bar for serial killer movies we need to step it tf up.
A strange nun arrives at your daughter's birthday party and presents a master crafted super creepy doll in their likeness saying that they have "won" it in a contest. Totally acceptable and believable.
A 3-decade killing spree highly wanted serial killer is suddenly IN YOUR HOUSE at night! You, an FBI agent, contact no one, and decide to go to sleep after not finding him there. Right.
Just so many functional inconsistencies and irrationalities with this movie.
Thank you both - I also thought this was so dumb in so many ways.
Happy 4th Of July JOBLO Horror.
Been my most anticipated film of the year. Betting it'll be another instant classic, horror has been on a great roll the past few years.
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this!!!
Visually it has the looks of 'Alan Wake 2.' & Lee is a version of Saga Anderson from the game. Can't wait to watch when it reaches to this shore.
Yeah I definitely see the resemblance and I love it.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Especially when the main character is standing at the evidence wall/board, it reminds me of Saga's headspace thingy.
Yes the lighting especially In the FBI office was very Alan wake 2
So hyped and extremely excited for a genuinely unsettling and terrifying horror movie for a while. CAN'T WAIT!!!
Got to see an early screening of this on 35 mm in a packed theater. Quite the experience
What is the gore level? I’m good with “disturbing” imagery etc, blood, but I’m not into like seeing intestines dangling outside a body. Eg I don’t watch movies like Saw, Hostel or Terrifier.
@@JH-bx8lb I think you'll be ok
How bad are the jump scares lmao
Don't forget Perkins 2015 film The Blackcoats Daughter. Also fantastic horror film.
People need to manage expectations
Loved Mandy...and Color out of Space...cant wait for this✌️
The hipster film of the summer. You're not cool unless you talk about how much you want to see Longlegs.
I've seen a lot of non hipsters online wanting to see it including myself there is a lot of buzz around this movie and everybody across all demographics seem pretty excited to watch it and that's all to do with their genius marketing this movie randomly popped up on my TH-cam feed with the creepy ass thumbnails lol I was too scared to click because of how creepy the thumbnail looked but the marketing was genius I think that's why everybody wants to see it
lol what? I can’t see “hipsters” being this into a horror movie
@@giancarloleon9983 You, luckily, don't have a hipster sibling.. it's insufferable.
Why can't movies like this come out every year. Cannot wait to watch this
You are a good guy for not spoiling it. Thank you
This is absolutely going to be good, I can feel it,also looking forward to Nosferatu,hopefully we get a couple of classic horror movies.
The film features original music composed by ZILGI (believed, but not confirmed to be a pseudonym for Elvis Perkins who previously scored The Blackcoat’s Daughter and I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House).
This reminds me of "Prisoners"? how would you say it is compared to that?? Are they similar - or am I off base?
i really doubt Maika kidnaps someone and tortures them
Definitely not prisoners
@@gorequillnachovidalsure he wasn’t talking about her
@@TimmySquibs lol, please watch both movies and come back
@@gorequillnachovidal I have actually but since you prefer I spoil it I can do that too if you’d like?
Thanks for the info bro can’t wait to see it next week
Me and my girl have seen Abigail the first omen and strangers chapter one in theaters this year. She's been waiting for this one. We going to see it soon as it hits the theater
Same me and my girl have watched them all on theaters
Super underwhelmed by the movie. It wasn’t weird enough, scary enough, or gory enough. The previews had me very hyped too. It wasn’t by any means terrible but it wasn’t amazing either.
Thank you i love horror movies but most that is coming out these days are not good. Hope this is worth it
While I found the concept original, and the tone and performances effective, the script left a lot to be desired. I’d give it a five out of ten stars. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t live up to the hype.
short answer: no it doesn’t live up to the hype.
I’m honestly glad to see I’m not the only one disappointed by the movie. The twist, for lack of a better word, felt really cheap to me. I was so excited and even bought standard priced tickets (which I never do because I’m a cheapskate).
Same! Over hyped & overmarketed
The first 3/4 of this film were absolutely terrifying and well written. The last half hour was like it someone left a complex, disturbing, well made horror/mystery film on the cutting room floor with no clear ending. And a few toddlers who watched too many generic horror movies wrote the final act.
Dont want to jinx it but i really think this is going to be something else
It probably won't happen but Monroe, Cage and Witt deserve Oscar nominations for their performances in this.
I’m a huge horror buff and I haven’t been this excited for a horror film in a long time. My only concern is I was excited for Late Night With The Devil as well and the reviews were glowing but it left me disappointed. I got caught up in that hype too.
Same with this movie 😢
If I leave a theater very unsettled after what I watched, even days later...
*job very well done☠️😵💫👏*
I have been trying to find a summary of the plot of this movie for a bit now, and while I respect you not getting into spoilers, I really wish you did!
I just don't care about movies anymore, and am more intrigued by novel ideas and concepts, which is why I am trying to find out what this movie brings to the table.
Since I keep stumbling over this channel when out looking for things that catch my fancy, it's only fair that I subscribe!
I gave it a 7/10. Very unnerving but not as scary as some people hyped. Very good plot but too many plot holes or forgotten elements for my liking. Also laughed at the scene where the flashed ball pythons under a red light knowing they were just chilling there as someone put a red light over them but I think that's just because I own a few and my first one will stare at me and pout if I don't take her out enough lol
I'm honestly so excited to see this
I'm so excited to see this. Happy 4th 🇺🇸
Civil war and this were my most anticipated this year. Maxxxine was a bit of a disappointment
Still holding out hope for Maxxxine. I am a huge Ti West fan. Longlegs looks right up my alley. Maika Monroe is fantastic and love atmospheric horror. Civil War was great and in my top 5 this year
@@rossm7071LOVED civil war, legitimately one of the most intense experiences in the theater. The last 45 minutes is crazy.
@@mattcollins3591 You could totally tell it was an Alex Garland film. Had a similar tone to 28 Days Later
The master of props on this movie is 25 years old! Impressive
Is Maika Monroe in this? Love anything she is in...
Edit. I always get her first name wrong 😂
Yes
@Model_Roe thanks Roe. Cool name BTW 😎
In It Follows She was Great & I've not seen Her in anything else! So I'm going to watch Her previous Films & Can't wait to see This! Cheers 🥂
@eddysandland58 IT Follows was a masterpiece and her portrayal of that character was just enraptured, Ive thought.
Well: she is in a film called 'Villains', which is on Netflix. Great movie.
I have a few movies I've not seen by her, but she was great in that; with Kyra Sedgewick (also great) and Alexander Skarsgaård (whom I rate also)
Maybe a good suggestion for you ! Enjoy. I've seen it 3 times in the last few years.
So excited for this one!
When I heard it compared to silence of the lambs it got my attention.
You forgot to mention Watcher. I used to have such a huge crush on Alicia Witt back in the day. I’m excited to see her again. I really hope this film abcs MaXXXine turn around what has been a horrible year for horror so far.
I need to see that interrogation scene hope someone puts it out
Osgood is a master at crafting atmospheric and creepy horror films that are slow burns that relentlessly move towards disturbing climaxes.
Oh. Osgood's brother was the composer for I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House. A movie with an unusual and haunting score.
Ok here's my question. I love crime movies (prisoners, etc), I'm ok with horror movies. Should I watch it?
Last time I was this hyped for a horror movie was after seeing the first red band trailer for evil dead a few years back.
Im excited..it will be premier on 12 july at my country
Oh damn, I'm so excited to see this - I don't remember the last film I felt so pumped for!
Nick Cage is unstoppable these days!
Ya quiero verla!
Well sold
I should have known better than to watch a review before seeing it. Now I know that there is an unexpected shift in the movie that would have been more exciting if I werent expecting it.
Excellent review.
With Maxxine disappointing im really happy to hear this is amazing
Can’t wait to see this
A film that evokes a ton of dread. However I felt like the film was trying to do too much, and that held it back for me.
I also can’t wait for Cuckoo! I’m seeing Longlegs on Thursday.
Glad to see a very positive review and that it didn’t disappoint! 🎉🎉🎉 good horror movies are a rare thing these days
can't wait to see this.
I don't know who cut the trailer(s) but you can tell they actually cared n didn't reveal too much..either that or they didn't know how to cut it n hoped for the best 😂. Either way I'm excited.
I thought it was great but the marketing was a little bit scarier
Hi, thank you for your review. I really want to see this movie as I am a fan of horror movies. I can handle unsettling I can handle jump scares etc. love silence of the lambs. My question is about the level of gore. I am not a fan of Saw gore or Hostle gore or animal torture. ( like where your seeing an animal suffer) . Are you able to tell me what I can expect in that regard? Thanks so much.
There is a little gore but it’s very tame overall.
July 12th can’t come fast enough, I can’t wait. Hanging like a junkie needing a fix lol
Just saw it. Loved it!
It’s funny. I like horror films but I feel very nervous about watching this one…
I don't think I'm gonna watch it not because I don't think it'll be gas because I know it will be it just looks so disturbing and unsettling and everybody who's watched it is giving it rave reviews but is saying it's disturbing
It is never implied that maika's character is on the autism spectrum😭
His handsome just like.his father.. Anthony Perkins
last horror/psycho thriller films that made me hard were Hereditary and Midsommar from Ari Aster and I hope this film lives up to such level of horror
I’m actually even more interested in Cuckoo
Saw it tonight and loved it!!
I am interested in the plot yes, but I am mainly seeing it to see Nicolas Cage!
Hollywood has been so unfair to Alicia Witt
Ever since I saw her in urban legends I knew she was meant to be big but she never got the chance
Sopranos for me
Excited for Longlegs this weekend but why has there been so little love for Late Night with the Devil this year? It's definitely been the best horror of the year so far.
Let’s calm down with comparing its success or even anything with seven and silence of the lambs which are two of the best films ever created
one of them is. Seven doesn't quite make the cut for greatest movies of all time but definitely makes the cut for one of the most disturbing.
I’m so excited for this film it looks insane and your review just made me buy a ticket for Friday! Quick question, are you able to say if this film has any heavy scenes of animal cruelty? Asking because of the pet carrier and cat. I can handle heavy gore and humans getting hurt in horror films 😂 but animals is another story. I stop watching if I see animals get hurt, it’s just too much. Just a heads up on that part would be very much appreciated 🙏
no animals get hurt at any point
@@ren.sparksthere’s a decapitated cow…but you don’t see it happen.
This film tortures all who watch it for 1hr and 41 min.
Good luck.
I’m sold ❤❤❤
Nicholas Uncaged is the GOAT
Along With TALK TO ME 😮 LONGLEGS Is Another Future Classic 😊
Definitely NOT a masterpiece. Or even close to on the level of Silence of the Lambs. But I did enjoy it, nonetheless. I just felt the final reveal was a cheap cop out.
I'll be really disappointed if the killer doesn't have freakishly long legs
My worry is that its rated 15 in the UK. So was Hereditary, but I personally didn’t find that scary. My fear is it won’t be as shocking as horror enthusiasts would hope. Slow burns need to be worth the wait.
I’ve had pretty tempered expectations as far as gore goes or explicit material goes. because it’s pg-13 here in the US.
I mean it's getting rave reviews but everybody who's watched it so far say it's pretty disturbing
@@justamurse5646It’s actually rated R here
So is Sinister
@@ekc9922 oh dang you’re right! That makes me happy, I was a little bummed when I swore I saw pg-13. Maybe it was an early unofficial rating or I hallucinated it ha. Either way good news for us.
Thank you for the spoiler free review.
