When I watched Longlegs, I was immediately drawn into its eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The story was so captivating, blending crime procedural elements with supernatural horror in a way that kept me hooked from start to finish. Maika Monroe’s portrayal of FBI agent Lee Harker was incredible! Her determination to solve the string of grisly family murders was palpable. And Nicolas Cage as the mysterious and terrifying serial killer Longlegs? He gave an amazing performance! What really stood out to me was how the film balanced its slow-burn tension with these shocking, visceral moments. Each new discovery in the case drew me deeper into this twisted world, especially as Lee unraveled the Satanic messages and realized her personal connection to Longlegs. The twist of the movie, completely blindsided me. It added layers to the story and made the final confrontation even more disturbingly sad. But then there was the ending. Don’t get me wrong, it was intense and emotionally charged. Lee being forced to kill her own mother to stop her from continuing the murders had to be done. Yet, I felt like something was missing. The story was so rich and full of tension that I expected it to end on a stronger cliffhanger, one that would linger with me. Overall, I thought Longlegs was an amazing movie. The characters, the atmosphere, and the twists were great, and it’s definitely one of the better horror films I’ve seen in a whike. I just wish the ending had left me with a stronger sense of unease.
