MovieBrat410's rating
From the very first scene I was completely locked in. The first shot of Nic Cage as Longlegs gave me quite the fright. The atmosphere Oz Perkins crafts is wonderfully bleak and dreadful, all that stuff people are saying about the dread and scare lingering afterwards is very true - and that is the movie. It achieves its intent. I do not think it's the scariest movie of all time, but it has absolutely earned its spot (for me) among some of the bleakest. 'Longlegs' is a dark tale, portraying a theme of how children live under a veil, with rose-colored glasses, but eventually those come off and you become very alert of the horrors surrounding you and the world. Sure, you can actually find some bits of humor in the film (mostly in how over-the-top Nicolas Cage can be (complimentary)), but past that sense of humor, it is a disturbing and miserably sad story.
