Longlegs is one of the most unnerving films in some time. In the film we follow Maika Monroe, as usual putting on a great performance, but here she is a more sheltered character and she nails it, as she tracks down serial killer Longlegs, Nicholas Cage giving possibly his best performance. The film itself is uneasy much like Silence of the Lambs or Se7en, but Cage ups it by being the creepiest of the creepy. The film is low key and very tight with glimpses of experimentation. Still wrapping my mind around the twist of why/how this killings happen but it adds another great horror film to 2024. This will find an audience with the true crime pod crowd i feel, and it deserves its birthday cake.
