Longlegs is like someone dropped the scripts for 5 or 6 different vignettes for a horror anthology film and then just scooped them all together into one script and filmed it.
I gotta talk about this movie... I hate to be one of those "it was overhyped, not scary" late-comers to a popular movie but this was such a mess compared to what I was expecting. So many different concepts all stuffed into one film.
Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, but let's throw in some devil worship stuff, some Carrie shit, fuck it let's do the creepy doll thing too.

Here's the deal. Everyone says not to look up anything about this movie, and especially not to look at what Nicolas Cage looks like.
Hard disagree.
Go look up exactly what Nic Cage looks like in this movie.
If you see him and say "oooh that's creepy, what a scary looking guy" then you're going to enjoy Longlegs.
If you can't help but see Nic Cage himself, wearing a ton of makeup, and looking absolutely comically ridiculous, this movie ain't gonna work for you.
