See this is exactly why I come to you for movie reviews. You're able to look at things from so many different perspectives, and even if you yourself don't enjoy a film, you're not shy to give out praise where it's deserved. I appreciate your content so much. You get it.
I watched this movie last night and I left not knowing how to feel about it. The Cinematography was amazing and the silence in the movie definitely made me feel creeped out while watching it. I wasn't necessarily scared while watching, but felt eerie because of the vibes it gave off. One thing that did ruin my experience though was the couple sitting next to me, they wouldn't stop talking and kept laughing and shoving each other which made it hard to not look over at them during the movie. Some people just don't have movie theater etiquette anymore!
To help describe the feeling you had, it’s dread That’s the vibe of it It’s not necessarily outwardly scary but more of a “I shouldn’t watch this” thing if that makes sense
Its pretty slow and I dont think its that great. Maybe I need to see it again, but I just dont think it can compare to silence of the lambs, dressed to kill, seven etc. Cage is awesome in his role, but I felt this movie just kind of is a hit and miss for me.
Yup. Saw this pre-screening and it was completely full. They were recording during the movie expecting screams but people were laughing at Nick Cage. No one interviewed after lol
@@badlandschugsnumber1fan123 I’m not going to spoil anything but there’s a scene involving Nick Cage in a car. My theater, including myself, were hollering when it happened. However, I don’t know if the director was intending to make that scene unsettling or funny but DAMN, I love bat-shit crazy Nick Cage😂
@@nelsonsanchez762the funniest parts for me is when he’s speaking with the store clerk (Oz Perkin’s Daughter). And in the flashback with Lees mom as a confronting him. His off set reactions were hysterical
@@XboxNuisance well that’s the way they did it and it worked for me Every single time there was a woosh and she had some sort of suspicion, she was correct about it
@@JoelyTheNighthawk it’s not really a spoiler, it’s just something about her character that you see basically at the beginning of the movie and it’s obviously gonna be teased throughout A spoiler would be if I told you WHAT she got suspicious about
*spoiler* That’s interesting, I thought it was because she had a past connection with him that was the initial reason she was having those ‘whooshing feelings’. Because once they explained that she had a past connection with long legs, that’s when the whole ‘intuitive’ plot went out the window for me. She had these repressed memories that were coming back in waves at a time until it all flooded back in her mind in the end once that doll broke.
@@Weezy.y oh yeah? You mean the lil growls here and there and the 2 sec shot of the demon under the blanket? Its that the satanic part your talking about? Because from what i saw was nic cage just making dolls and killing himself in the end. There was no devil summoning. No demons appearing to attack anyone (besides being in the dolls) which was stupid. It was wasted potential
Never ending genre debate. Horror can be a thriller, thriller can be a horror. Both can be a detective story. Genres interfere and overlap all the time. Also SPOILERS the third act is all about the devil and possesed dolls :D
monkey see monkey do, give me a effing break, it is a horror film & a very good one at that. Easily the best serial killer horror/crime thriller since Anthony Hopkins portrayed Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs (1991) which was 33 years ago. Forget Manhunter. Last but not least, i like 3C but he is so off on his analysis & rating of this film, so completely off & it is never predictable, you're just writing to write. It's called Horror/Crime 🤡
The audience I saw it with left the theater pretty excited by the experience. Most likely very young people in a particular audience that boo'd. At the same time... who are people booing or clapping for after a film? The creators are not going to be at your showing (unless otherwise noted).
3C doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. It's damn near a masterpiece. This is not for him he can stick to silly + kid shit because he is a grown ass man who likes soft shit that kids would like.
You're incorrect about the pyschic ability, or seem to have misunderstood, cause it was used quite frequently. If you watch it again, there is periodically a whisper and wind sound that guides her to something important and this is that ability kicking it. It's also felt more directly anytime she is in close proximity to or in contact with the metallic balls or Longlegs himself where she gets those vivid visions in red. Its implied the psychic powers are a direct result of her doll still being intact.
I came here for this comment. You are spot on. While I liked the critique I was like wait a minute, the film DID address this lol. They showed her mother shooting the doll of her for this reason, and the doll's influence on people the entire movie. Also, that connection explained why she seemed to be in a trance all the time, and why she did not remember certain things, but was led to find other things.
Yep I work at a movie theater and it’s crazy how every show is either selling out or getting 75 percent full. Happy to see an Indy Horror Film doing well.
**SPOILERS** Remember the scene when Lee was at Agent Carters house and his daughter said her parents keep all her belongings? Later on, Lee sees her mom she also tells her she’s kept all of her belongings. That gave me a feeling either Agent Carters family is going to die or her mom was because thats no mere coincidence.
@@forbiddencroisantI was going to make a similar comment! Certain parts were definitely predictable. At first, I thought I was just lucky guess but after further thought, nah. Shit was predictable BUT there were still some nice surprises
@@andrewcruz3837 I can definitely understand why some may not really fw this. This is a very stylized, slow burn horror movie that is really meant to psychologically creep you tf out even days afterwards vs having you jumping out of your seat from scares
The movie also completely lost me when it became super unrealistic. I saw it during a sold out showing earlier today, and the audience was seemingly NOT feeling it based on the scoffs and chatter I heard leaving the auditorium… I’m still happy I saw it though, solely for the atmosphere and cinematography.
In the middle of watching it now. It's so slow and kinda pretentious lol. Came to see Chris's thoughts to help decide if it's worth finishing... Probably wont finish it.
You said it perfectly man. I enjoyed it till the end where it led to. Needed more nicolas. Even nicolas & monroe on camera together more would’ve been dope.
8:41 but it is tho, just came from watching the movie, it has a sound cue at a few times in the movie *SPOILERS* She senses something in her mother’s house behind the locked door, she senses Longlegs before he knocks on her door, she literally has a spider-sense and it has a sound cue and her mother gets rid of it by destroying her doll, you see her ability literally leaving out the back of her head. The visions of the red liquid and snakes are her psychic abilities at work
And she spends a long time staring at Agent Carter’s daughter when they first meet. This could be seen as her social awkwardness, but I think it could also be her feeling something bad will happen to the little girl, but not knowing what
I didn't see much marketing for it, so I went in with little to no knowledge. I really enjoyed it, definitely much better then some of the other films that have come out lately.
People who saw the trailers and claim that they were misled are nuts. This movie was 100% going to be supernatural. Some people are so stupid that they can't interpret clear hints from trailers though. Also, I loathe people who get upset just because the ending didn't happen like they wanted it to.
More traumatizing than scary. There are so many sudden brutal scenes. My head is still ringing a bit a day later. I definitely recommend seeing it in the theater as the cinematography is awesome.
Watched it yesterday night and I loved it, this was a really good movie, I was in it from start to end. Reminds me of Seven and X files because it was in the 90s or late 80s
I think the “psychic” ability was in relation to long legs being connected to Lee. Each doll he made contained “his essence” …and during his encounter with little Lee and her mother, he mentions he’ll be able to “come and go whenever he wants, as often as he wants”. So, was she psychic…or was she just pulling from the connection with long legs which in turn gave her “psychic” abilities? I think that’s why it wasn’t really brought up again.
I really felt like I was crazy for thinking the story was undercooked, thanks for this review. But I do hope this brings more general audiences to give disturbing movies a chance.
You definitely need a rewatch because you let your hype ruin the film experience for you. It really sucks when everyone complains about trailers that show to much but the one time a trailer try’s to be mysterious everyone ends up shitting on the movie after because it’s not what’s they “expected” 🤦♂️
I saw a premier of it and I thought it wasn’t that bad but yeah I was very confused and disappointed with the psychic stuff not being explored but Nickolas cage did great and I really like the detective aspect of it not the biggest fan of the ending
I can truly say that because of your channel I've decided I want to go into the film industry. Your honest reviews and the true emotion you hold for cinema inspired me to want to create a film that can get an A+ in all categories.
i agree 100% i definitely walked out underwhelmed but i do feel like they explained her “sixth sense” SPOILERS!!!!!! The silver ball inside the dolls was explained to be pieces of long legs, and though its a leap, it was said that it allowed him to tell her where to look for things, playing into that cat and mouse game trope. which is why when her doll was destroyed she lost her connection to her “abilities”. is it lazy and one hell of a stretch, yes, but its there atleast lol
Nicholas Cage is in my top 5 favorite actors, and holy crap he is petrifying with that makeup, and I find the movie so clever using his messages, and emphasizing so many sounds.
Just saw it & 100000% agree. I enjoyed the movie all the way up until we finally got the revelation of what was causing everything. And it was a bit of a letdown. So I didn’t enjoy it & it took away the realism that you’re talking about. It lost me there too. Would have rather just had more Nicolas Cage.
I've already seen a lot of reviews and this is the most cogent to me. Totally worth seeing, maybe even twice. But too many clichés thrown into a blender by the end. Perkins straight up needs a co-screenwriter because this has always been his sticking point.
tha'ts a shame and i like 3C but he can stick to analyzing soft ass kid humor films. He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about when it comes to films like LONGLEGS. He sounds foolish. 3C should just review G / PG, & PG13 because he is a grown ass man who thinks like a juvenile kid. The R-rated world is NOT for him.
i have heard so many people whining about it not being realistic. WE LIKE MOVIES ABOUT DEMONS AND GHOSTS AND UNDEAD KILLERS/ZOMBIES??? since when does it matter if a horror movie is not realistic?
@@HALLOWEENSLASHERHard agree. I wish I hadn’t watched so many reviewers who acted like this was the scariest movie in years. The film was fine but nothing I care to watch again.
it’s not scary in the way i feel the marketing was trying to convey, it’s more unsettling then anything and that’s what made it WORK for me!! going into this movie with the thought of it being a thriller instead of a horror is what will give you the best outcome for anyone who is preparing to be utterly terrified.
@@NSMexicano2008if your saying watching this movie makes you farther away from God, your wrong. People can watch horror movie about Satan or demons without believing it or following that agenda.
I agree 100% with this review. The story points at the end just didn’t fulfill me. The ending of part two was disappointing because I wanted more confrontation between the two main characters. I definitely wanted more I feel you and agree.
Not seeing Cage is the point! I didn’t need to see him more at all. The story isn’t about him, it’s about Lee. All the great thriller/horror/detective films don’t show their villain for the majority of the film. It makes them more terrifying!
Yet they adandon the hiding the face thing and give him a long monologue runing that immersion that I agree can be affective. But as soon as that’s done he’s gone
@@3CFilms sure, give him his moment. But I don’t want to see more for a longer period of time. I would’ve cut the scene in the market with him and the girl. Don’t have any character not take him as a threat. That’s my only complaint.
When I first heard about the movie, I thought it was about spiders. Kinda like those movies about giant spiders that attack a town or mall, But recently I found out the true story, I might see this thanks for the review.
Not going to lie, I’d have to give it a strong 6.9/10. It definitely lacked the horror aspect. I did enjoy it more as a crime/thriller. Maybe Hereditary set the bar too high for me aha
She wasn’t psychic, it was her connection to her doll i.e Satan that pointed her in certain directions. Things make more sense on rewatching and also half of the reasons I love this film are from discussions, lore & theories online that spawned from the ‘Birthday Murders’ website that launched before the films release.
I didn’t feel like it’s was a horror, more like a suspense/thriller. The end could have been better and the explanation behind long legs was lacking a bit
Your comment about feeling unsettled at home struck a chord with me. On my way home after seeing the movie, I felt the same way and convinced myself that someone might be in the back seat of my truck (half cab). Didn't go away until I turned on the interior light and physically put my arm back there.
I pretty much agree with everything you said. I loved the atmosphere it created, and I was spooked out half the time without there being any obvious reason. I also love to watch a horror movie that has me trying to figure it out right away. I definitely enjoy being surprised by new plots that haven't been played out a million times before. There was some great cinematography. Right from the beginning. Unfortunately, it all just fell flat. Everyone at the theater sat there for a minute when the credits started, and then was like, wtf?? It had so much potential to really be amazing, and the storyline was really interesting , but too many things that weren't explained and rushed through. I also really didn't like the FBI agent. She was really weird acting and awkward, and it just made it unbelievable that she was actually a Fed. Nicholas Cage was amazing and truly frightening. He definitely has a knack for playing a scary, weird, psychopathic character. I wished there was more of him actually in the movie. I feel if they had left the far-out supernatural aspects out, it would've made a more horrifying conclusion that would've left the audience more satisfied. I rate it 1 star for the overall movie. 100 stars for the hype and secrecy of promoting the film. I wouldn't recommend going to the theater, and it's not something I'd watch again. I love Nick Cage, tho! ❤
I really liked the acting, dialogue, and most of the story, but the last like quarter of the movie really sank it. And they left so much unanswered in an unsatisfying way.
The scene in the last act, when Lee’s mom went to her partners house for the daughter’s bday. When the door opened the couple greeted her mom , there was an ominous vibe when they let her in and when the door closed , you may not have noticed the satanic silhouette with horns when she enters the home… creeped me tf out
Yessss I agree 100% I was like oh okay that’s what we’re doing :\ and just not disturbing in anyway but the cast I love but this was just so not it the marketing was my fav part lol
This is the conundrum with the battle between streaming and theatrical releases. Imagine you stumbled across Longlegs on Netflix or Shudder and none of the hype existed. I think most of us would be shouting about this bizarre little gem of a movie we’d discovered. But because of all the hype calling it “a masterpiece” and “scariest film of the decade” etc. we are instead let down by it. But here’s the question: as a filmmaker or studio, do you want people to absolutely love your movie or do you want as many people to see it as possible? Hard question to answer, especially with a more offbeat movie like Longlegs.
Am I the only one that thought it was complete shit ? Watch horror a lot so maybe I'm desensitised. But as soon as I seen it was a 15 rating I thought, can't be much of a horror if a 15 year old can see it. And boy was I right, absolutely fuck all happens in this movie, and I have seen scarier tales from the crypt. But hey, that's just my opinion. Just wish it did not get all this hype.
It wasn't ''A Scariest film of the Decade'', But it was definitely an interesting watch, I would definitely recommend it to people who are more into crime/thriller genre, because this is definitely not a horror film. It has horror elements but it wasn't a full blown horror movie from start to finish. There was some unsettling and creepy parts but I never felt truly scared. Nic Cage and Maika Monroe were both great, the actress who plays Lee's mother in the film was fantastic, she was absolutely creepy. But it definitely a type of movie that you need to see twice, it demands that. So I am definitely going to be seeing again but this time alone at home. I just came out of the screening couple of minutes ago, so the movie is very fresh in my mind but I just... I don't know, I need to sit with this movie for a bit and think how I feel about it, because there were stuff I really, really liked and then there were some other stuff that I would put under a question mark. That's why I think it necessary to see it twice. I can say that I think this film should have been either longer or a mini-series, a 1 hour 40 minute runtime is not enough to tell such a story I feel like, there is quite a lot that is left to viewer's imagination, a very ambiguous ending. I don't hate the ending but I do wish we got a conclusion, it felt like we will be getting Longlegs 2 or something... but either way, I can't decide fully on how I feel about this film, I will say I did like it more than I did not like it, but I don't want to go in the details because I am not 100% sure if even the things I did not like I truly don't like you know? But it definitely was an experience that I overall enjoyed but at the same let down by few things, I did feel like it needed to be longer at the very least and the jumpscares were weak... absolutely weak to me. But I will still recommend for anybody to go check it out for yourself, especially like I said before if you are fan of these type of movies (Silence of the Lambs, Seven or Zodiac) then this could be a good time for you. I will say this, this film is definitely also not on par with Silence of the Lambs or Seven in terms of filmmaking, storytelling and etc etc... It definitely pays homage to those films but at the same brings an interesting unique twist to the movie which I did really like. So yeah, go check it out. I feel like this movie is going to be very divisive, some people will love it some people will like it and some will straight out hate it, it definitely a more of A24 type of horror/thriller flick. Also, Nic Cage's performance was definitely something... I did not know how to approach his character... but eventually he did get under my skin but I can see some people straight out laugh at this character because of how ridiculous he is in this. Even I smiled couple of times because Nic Cage was having a lot of fun in this one, oh my oh my... He was chewing every scene, the interrogation scene definitely is going to be a memorable scene from the movie. Gosh, I went on a huge rant.. I need to chill, but at the moment it very hard for me to rate this, I need to wait a bit until I can truly comprehend what I just saw.
3:03 I haven’t seen it yet but I’m intrigued… if a horror/thriller movie sticks with you this well after it’s over and your back home, that’s usually what makes a good movie in my opinion. Even tho your review is different then what most people are saying, just having described how it stuck with you and came home with you really peaks my interest to see it more.
My BOY Chris always be telling the truth man! I thought the trailers was wayyy scarier than the movie. I can't believe people are calling this a MASTERPIECE already???
I haven't seen a scary movie that's "scared" me since I was 6 years old. There's more feelings to a scary movie that make them good IMO. Unsettling, eerie, tension, atmosphere etc. Movie was awesome
I really think when it comes down to marketing, people need to manage expectation because critics and regular viewers have a different minds when it comes to the movies rating, there are some movies also where the critics rating high and audience scores is low.
I was on board. Then I was kinda like, ummm. I was cool with Cage's performance, but it was telling me a few different things that came across as confusing. Ultimately, I was left with questions and underwhelmed with the mystery of it all. The reason for the story that they landed on was meh at best. Thanks for another great review, Chris! Keep up the good work, sir. #GeeSawThat 🤘🏿😁👍🏿
***Spoilers*** They do bring up the psychic thing at the end. It's the demon telling her where to look due to her doll having the entity and still being in tact. Once her mom blows the head off she loses that ability. They show the smoke leaving her before she faints.
Similar experience. I’ve seen most horror movies this year later in the evening opening weekend and longlegs was by far the most packed crowd. The only other movie I’ve seen this year with as many people was Dune Part 2 which is extremely impressive to me that this many people are coming out to see the movie.
I’m used to sold out screening at Disney Springs on an opening weekend, but even the smaller theaters in Orlando area were sold out. I was surprised cause Maxxxine didn’t even sell out anywhere in this area. That said I loved it even into the reveal. I think the movie does a great job at showing you something supernatural is happening early on through the main characters psychic abilities. So by the time act 3 came around I had already suspended my belief. I also felt I didn’t need it 100% spelt out because it was more about the effect of these things. Thematically there’s a lot there which I can see going over casual viewers heads. That said I do think giving even 2 more minutes to actually wrap up the story would’ve been helpful. The third act did feel rushed compared to the rest. I also think it would’ve been more effective if the final scene showed more. I know it’s probably a budget issue, but after seeing the horrific aftermath of all these murders, when we finally are at the murder scene it’s surprisingly tame. My guess is it was a budget issue here .
Saw it last night!!! Fan-f-ing-tastic!!!! I dunno, I think this movie and “Late Night w/ the Devil “ are both so awesome, and make up for 4 movies last year! The First Omen, In a Violent Nature, MaXXXine, TV Glow…( I haven’t seen the last one, but people are talking abt it!)
wow, i thought where the movie led near the end to was the only good part of the movie. it was the only part i was feeling somewhat scared and uncomfortable with. the rest of the movie tho… it was okay, i’ve seen better done with criminal investigation shows that was more horrifying and scary, whole episodes even 😭 but SAME HERE, person next to me said “well that was disappointing”
This is the only review of Long Legs I’ll watch before seeing it, but this is a little sad to hear as I think the value of your opinion is super aligned to mine! Hopefully I end up enjoying it!
Watched this one twice. The second time was more unsettling, as all of my hyped up expectations were gone. As for the psychic abilities, I took it as if it was connected to the doll, and I noticed, particularly during the second viewing, it popping up throughout the film
I agree with this! I liked it, and the cinematography and sound design was utilized perfectly, and the acting was top notch. But story wise, when it was all over, I was still hungry. Lol! I wish the film would have learned more into either realism or supernatural than it did, but I felt like the balance it struck wasn't very effective. The most terrifying part to me was something that the film just sort of glossed over, and I wish it would have been touched on just a little bit further, because it would have made for a great "omg, no way!" kind of reveal. That said, I enjoyed it and will probably watch it again several times, but there were portions of the narrative that needed a bit more work.
Just got out of it. 😮WOWZERS! Nicolas Cage made it a comedy to me but that's just because I'm sick6 😅 The fact that it's just getting started isn't exciting to you Chris? It's a new movie setting up the future I'm happy to have ushered into our reality
They definitely overhyped this movie by calling it “scariest movie of the decade” it’s definitely not that it was average at best a one time watch for me not something I’d go out of my way or pay to watch again
Bro it was said like a joke in passing 50 out of 50 ain't bad still could be psychic 😂 you lost me in that one it was basically explained she knew all that from childhood trauma and because she had a connection to the doll her mom freed her from .
I feel like this film really utilized Nic’s Cageism’s that no movie has done before. When he started singing I laughed initially, but as he got more intense with the singing the music and sound started to get as intense as he did. It had you like “haha Nicolas Cage…. Oh god Nicolas Cage..” Edit: I take that first statement back, Mandy definitely did the same thing with his process of grief in the bathroom
The problems you say the movie has is just lack of thrill, but true horror movies are not supposed to be carried by thrill. It is the combonation of dread, scenic depictions that invoke true fear within people, and music. A thrill is a nice touch but ultimatlely optional. True horror comes from stripping the viewer of comfortability and sense of safty
great vid as always... i see you have an editor now. Should let them know that the "swoosh" sound effects are too loud. They kinda get annoying/take me out of the video
People have been hyping up this movie for months now which is why I was interested in watching it but now I think I’ll just wait for to come to streaming.
As a longtime Horror fan, I loved Longlegs. I really appreciated the atmosphere, sound score, and acting. Maika, Nicolas, and Blair acted phenomenally well. For my wife and I who watched it in theaters- 10/10. Highly recommend
I’m surprised by how much I loved this movie. I do think the marketing was a little too exaggerated, and I knew a lot of people were going to be left underwhelmed based on what the trailers and everything said, but I really did love it. I work at a theater as a manager, and I’m surprised by how many parents are bringing their kids in to watch this movie, it’s almost fitting
I think your way to harsh with that f rating because I know lots of general audiences that loved this movie and if they didn’t they liked it enough to be more than a damn F💀
I have AMC A-List, which let's you watch up to three movies a week. I've seen 32 movies this year already and 51 last year. So I learned about this movie because I saw the trailer a bunch of times before several movies. But I never got the feeling it was anything major, just felt like one of the other movies they play the trailer for a bunch of times. So when I went to reserve my ticket opening day I was surprised to see it sold out. It's sold out for the next few several days. I was legit surprised until I watched this video. I was completely unaware of a viral marketing thing.

Spoke my exact thoughts. Wasn't scared but defo creepy.
To help describe the feeling you had, it’s dread
That’s the vibe of it
It’s not necessarily outwardly scary but more of a “I shouldn’t watch this” thing if that makes sense
Literally me today💀 couple was talking smooching and giggling like wtf
Its pretty slow and I dont think its that great. Maybe I need to see it again, but I just dont think it can compare to silence of the lambs, dressed to kill, seven etc. Cage is awesome in his role, but I felt this movie just kind of is a hit and miss for me.
Wasn’t scary at all. Creepy in parts and parts I dreaded a jump scare but I’ll sleep just fine tonight in a dark room.

💯
It’s a horror movie. It’s literally labeled as such. Just because it didn’t scare you doesn’t mean it’s not a horror movie..
It's more of a suspense focus crime thriller with horror elements. It is a horror movie but not the typical one@@Tara-zz7ny
Never ending genre debate.
Horror can be a thriller, thriller can be a horror.
Both can be a detective story.
Genres interfere and overlap all the time.
Also SPOILERS the third act is all about the devil and possesed dolls :D
monkey see monkey do, give me a effing break, it is a horror film & a very good one at that. Easily the best serial killer horror/crime thriller since Anthony Hopkins portrayed Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs (1991) which was 33 years ago. Forget Manhunter. Last but not least, i like 3C but he is so off on his analysis & rating of this film, so completely off & it is never predictable, you're just writing to write. It's called Horror/Crime 🤡
Crazy how your theater was booing the movie. Once the movie ended in the theater I was in everyone was clapping
The audience I saw it with left the theater pretty excited by the experience. Most likely very young people in a particular audience that boo'd. At the same time... who are people booing or clapping for after a film? The creators are not going to be at your showing (unless otherwise noted).
3C doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. It's damn near a masterpiece. This is not for him he can stick to silly + kid shit because he is a grown ass man who likes soft shit that kids would like.
You're incorrect about the pyschic ability, or seem to have misunderstood, cause it was used quite frequently. If you watch it again, there is periodically a whisper and wind sound that guides her to something important and this is that ability kicking it. It's also felt more directly anytime she is in close proximity to or in contact with the metallic balls or Longlegs himself where she gets those vivid visions in red. Its implied the psychic powers are a direct result of her doll still being intact.
I came here for this comment. You are spot on. While I liked the critique I was like wait a minute, the film DID address this lol. They showed her mother shooting the doll of her for this reason, and the doll's influence on people the entire movie. Also, that connection explained why she seemed to be in a trance all the time, and why she did not remember certain things, but was led to find other things.
Yep I work at a movie theater and it’s crazy how every show is either selling out or getting 75 percent full. Happy to see an Indy Horror Film doing well.
**SPOILERS**
Remember the scene when Lee was at Agent Carters house and his daughter said her parents keep all her belongings? Later on, Lee sees her mom she also tells her she’s kept all of her belongings. That gave me a feeling either Agent Carters family is going to die or her mom was because thats no mere coincidence.
Maybe push the spoiler down a bit
Yeah as soon as they mentioned that I knew her mom was in on it
Honestly though the whole film felt really predictable. Like as soon as the daughter was introduced I knew the detective's family was done for
@@renamon5658Done 👍🏽
@@forbiddencroisantI was going to make a similar comment! Certain parts were definitely predictable. At first, I thought I was just lucky guess but after further thought, nah. Shit was predictable BUT there were still some nice surprises
This is the type of movie that needs multiple watches to catch certain little details. I saw it last night, solid 7.5 maybe even 8/10!
5/10
10/10 genius and horrifying
@@andrewcruz3837 I can definitely understand why some may not really fw this. This is a very stylized, slow burn horror movie that is really meant to psychologically creep you tf out even days afterwards vs having you jumping out of your seat from scares
1/10
@@andrewcruz3837 I say 4/10
The movie also completely lost me when it became super unrealistic. I saw it during a sold out showing earlier today, and the audience was seemingly NOT feeling it based on the scoffs and chatter I heard leaving the auditorium… I’m still happy I saw it though, solely for the atmosphere and cinematography.
Beautifully made film with a "daunting" atmosphere throughout.
3C always keeps it real with these reviews. Why you are my number 1 place for reviews
In the middle of watching it now. It's so slow and kinda pretentious lol. Came to see Chris's thoughts to help decide if it's worth finishing... Probably wont finish it.
Your an all star 🌟
You said it perfectly man. I enjoyed it till the end where it led to. Needed more nicolas. Even nicolas & monroe on camera together more would’ve been dope.
8:41 but it is tho, just came from watching the movie, it has a sound cue at a few times in the movie
*SPOILERS*
She senses something in her mother’s house behind the locked door, she senses Longlegs before he knocks on her door, she literally has a spider-sense and it has a sound cue and her mother gets rid of it by destroying her doll, you see her ability literally leaving out the back of her head. The visions of the red liquid and snakes are her psychic abilities at work
And she spends a long time staring at Agent Carter’s daughter when they first meet. This could be seen as her social awkwardness, but I think it could also be her feeling something bad will happen to the little girl, but not knowing what
But it goes nowhere. It does not help her survive in anyway. It does not help her solve the case. It is just there.
Nicholas Cage always having these absolutely fire movies every now and then between his bad movies…which are still fun to watch anyway
I didn't see much marketing for it, so I went in with little to no knowledge. I really enjoyed it, definitely much better then some of the other films that have come out lately.
The visuals were extremely good ,
The acting was very good
the story was mediocre at best.
Still enjoyed it though
I have no idea how anyone can feel misled? It was marketed as a creepy, vague, FBI/serial killer movie, and that’s exactly what it was lol
People who saw the trailers and claim that they were misled are nuts. This movie was 100% going to be supernatural. Some people are so stupid that they can't interpret clear hints from trailers though. Also, I loathe people who get upset just because the ending didn't happen like they wanted it to.
@@dereksbooks I 100% agree with you there, even from the first: “that’s not my daughter” teaser I knew it was going to be supernatural in some way
More traumatizing than scary. There are so many sudden brutal scenes. My head is still ringing a bit a day later. I definitely recommend seeing it in the theater as the cinematography is awesome.
Nicholas Cage had me cracking UP with that singing 😂😭
Watched it yesterday night and I loved it, this was a really good movie, I was in it from start to end. Reminds me of Seven and X files because it was in the 90s or late 80s
I think the “psychic” ability was in relation to long legs being connected to Lee.
Each doll he made contained “his essence” …and during his encounter with little Lee and her mother, he mentions he’ll be able to “come and go whenever he wants, as often as he wants”.
So, was she psychic…or was she just pulling from the connection with long legs which in turn gave her “psychic” abilities? I think that’s why it wasn’t really brought up again.
I really felt like I was crazy for thinking the story was undercooked, thanks for this review. But I do hope this brings more general audiences to give disturbing movies a chance.
You definitely need a rewatch because you let your hype ruin the film experience for you. It really sucks when everyone complains about trailers that show to much but the one time a trailer try’s to be mysterious everyone ends up shitting on the movie after because it’s not what’s they “expected” 🤦♂️
I saw a premier of it and I thought it wasn’t that bad but yeah I was very confused and disappointed with the psychic stuff not being explored but Nickolas cage did great and I really like the detective aspect of it not the biggest fan of the ending
The ending was kinda a bummer but i enjoyed it though
i’m glad chris doesn’t sugar coat he’s honest with it i’m about to see it tomorrow i won’t go in with high hopes but still excited to see it 🙏
I can truly say that because of your channel I've decided I want to go into the film industry. Your honest reviews and the true emotion you hold for cinema inspired me to want to create a film that can get an A+ in all categories.
i agree 100% i definitely walked out underwhelmed but i do feel like they explained her “sixth sense”
SPOILERS!!!!!!
The silver ball inside the dolls was explained to be pieces of long legs, and though its a leap, it was said that it allowed him to tell her where to look for things, playing into that cat and mouse game trope. which is why when her doll was destroyed she lost her connection to her “abilities”. is it lazy and one hell of a stretch, yes, but its there atleast lol
Nicholas Cage is in my top 5 favorite actors, and holy crap he is petrifying with that makeup, and I find the movie so clever using his messages, and emphasizing so many sounds.
Just saw it & 100000% agree. I enjoyed the movie all the way up until we finally got the revelation of what was causing everything. And it was a bit of a letdown. So I didn’t enjoy it & it took away the realism that you’re talking about. It lost me there too. Would have rather just had more Nicolas Cage.
I've already seen a lot of reviews and this is the most cogent to me. Totally worth seeing, maybe even twice. But too many clichés thrown into a blender by the end. Perkins straight up needs a co-screenwriter because this has always been his sticking point.
Every time 3C films reviews a movie I get excited
tha'ts a shame and i like 3C but he can stick to analyzing soft ass kid humor films. He doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about when it comes to films like LONGLEGS. He sounds foolish. 3C should just review G / PG, & PG13 because he is a grown ass man who thinks like a juvenile kid. The R-rated world is NOT for him.
i have heard so many people whining about it not being realistic. WE LIKE MOVIES ABOUT DEMONS AND GHOSTS AND UNDEAD KILLERS/ZOMBIES??? since when does it matter if a horror movie is not realistic?
SEEING IT THIS WEEKEND IM SO SCARED & EXCITED
Curve this expectations massively and thank me later when you've seen it 👍
@@HALLOWEENSLASHERHard agree. I wish I hadn’t watched so many reviewers who acted like this was the scariest movie in years. The film was fine but nothing I care to watch again.
Scared the $hit out of me man...still freaked!😂
is it only me or can i not wait for spook ya mama season to see this new set spookified
Just the fact That Nicolas Cage is playing an unrecognized serial Killer has me hyped and i can’t wait to eventually watch this film.
He was the only thing that for me redeemed this movie
He’s in it for about 6 minutes.
it’s not scary in the way i feel the marketing was trying to convey, it’s more unsettling then anything and that’s what made it WORK for me!! going into this movie with the thought of it being a thriller instead of a horror is what will give you the best outcome for anyone who is preparing to be utterly terrified.
Just bought my tickets ten minutes ago! Can’t wait!
Hope you find God after this
@@NSMexicano2008God isn’t a real thing weirdo, you think the tooth fairy and Santa exist too? Grow up kid you are brainwashed
@@NSMexicano2008if your saying watching this movie makes you farther away from God, your wrong. People can watch horror movie about Satan or demons without believing it or following that agenda.
@@NSMexicano2008there is no god
@@RUNLONG88 There is, and repent.
I agree 100% with this review. The story points at the end just didn’t fulfill me. The ending of part two was disappointing because I wanted more confrontation between the two main characters. I definitely wanted more I feel you and agree.
Nah that's so stupid and predictable
I liked this film a lot. This was way better than Maxxxine and the latest season of True Detective. And that's good enough for me.
Not seeing Cage is the point! I didn’t need to see him more at all. The story isn’t about him, it’s about Lee. All the great thriller/horror/detective films don’t show their villain for the majority of the film. It makes them more terrifying!
Yet they adandon the hiding the face thing and give him a long monologue runing that immersion that I agree can be affective. But as soon as that’s done he’s gone
@@3CFilms sure, give him his moment. But I don’t want to see more for a longer period of time. I would’ve cut the scene in the market with him and the girl. Don’t have any character not take him as a threat. That’s my only complaint.
When I first heard about the movie, I thought it was about spiders. Kinda like those movies about giant spiders that attack a town or mall, But recently I found out the true story, I might see this thanks for the review.
Not going to lie, I’d have to give it a strong 6.9/10. It definitely lacked the horror aspect. I did enjoy it more as a crime/thriller. Maybe Hereditary set the bar too high for me aha
She wasn’t psychic, it was her connection to her doll i.e Satan that pointed her in certain directions. Things make more sense on rewatching and also half of the reasons I love this film are from discussions, lore & theories online that spawned from the ‘Birthday Murders’ website that launched before the films release.
I didn’t feel like it’s was a horror, more like a suspense/thriller. The end could have been better and the explanation behind long legs was lacking a bit
Your comment about feeling unsettled at home struck a chord with me. On my way home after seeing the movie, I felt the same way and convinced myself that someone might be in the back seat of my truck (half cab). Didn't go away until I turned on the interior light and physically put my arm back there.
Never heard of this movie until you posted this video
I pretty much agree with everything you said. I loved the atmosphere it created, and I was spooked out half the time without there being any obvious reason.
I also love to watch a horror movie that has me trying to figure it out right away. I definitely enjoy being surprised by new plots that haven't been played out a million times before. There was some great cinematography. Right from the beginning. Unfortunately, it all just fell flat. Everyone at the theater sat there for a minute when the credits started, and then was like, wtf??
It had so much potential to really be amazing, and the storyline was really interesting , but too many things that weren't explained and rushed through. I also really didn't like the FBI agent. She was really weird acting and awkward, and it just made it unbelievable that she was actually a Fed.
Nicholas Cage was amazing and truly frightening. He definitely has a knack for playing a scary, weird, psychopathic character. I wished there was more of him actually in the movie.
I feel if they had left the far-out supernatural aspects out, it would've made a more horrifying conclusion that would've left the audience more satisfied.
I rate it 1 star for the overall movie.
100 stars for the hype and secrecy of promoting the film.
I wouldn't recommend going to the theater, and it's not something I'd watch again.
I love Nick Cage, tho! ❤
I give it an A+ for creating a new universe for us to see. It's the 1st in a trilogy (hopefully) and the next one will be crazier. Again hopefully 😅
First omen and immaculate were decent
First Omen was good. Immaculate was Immehculate.
Out all 3 I prefer Immaculate lol
@@3CFilms Immaculate really kind of weak dont you think.
@@ksmooth1973hey man he can like what he likes
@@pk251 Thats correct I just thought it was weak thats all
I really liked the acting, dialogue, and most of the story, but the last like quarter of the movie really sank it. And they left so much unanswered in an unsatisfying way.
I love this movie so much
Happy you loved it!
The scene in the last act, when Lee’s mom went to her partners house for the daughter’s bday. When the door opened the couple greeted her mom , there was an ominous vibe when they let her in and when the door closed , you may not have noticed the satanic silhouette with horns when she enters the home… creeped me tf out
Love your vids 3C keep up the amazing work
Finally an honest review.
Yessss I agree 100% I was like oh okay that’s what we’re doing :\ and just not disturbing in anyway but the cast I love but this was just so not it the marketing was my fav part lol
This is the conundrum with the battle between streaming and theatrical releases.
Imagine you stumbled across Longlegs on Netflix or Shudder and none of the hype existed. I think most of us would be shouting about this bizarre little gem of a movie we’d discovered.
But because of all the hype calling it “a masterpiece” and “scariest film of the decade” etc. we are instead let down by it.
But here’s the question: as a filmmaker or studio, do you want people to absolutely love your movie or do you want as many people to see it as possible? Hard question to answer, especially with a more offbeat movie like Longlegs.
SPOILERS;
the psycic stuff was mentioned again, because she had a doll she was being given little nods throughout her life that led her to longlegs.
Am I the only one that thought it was complete shit ? Watch horror a lot so maybe I'm desensitised. But as soon as I seen it was a 15 rating I thought, can't be much of a horror if a 15 year old can see it. And boy was I right, absolutely fuck all happens in this movie, and I have seen scarier tales from the crypt. But hey, that's just my opinion. Just wish it did not get all this hype.
Deff needed more of the serial killer life or origin story would have been great,
It wasn't ''A Scariest film of the Decade'', But it was definitely an interesting watch, I would definitely recommend it to people who are more into crime/thriller genre, because this is definitely not a horror film. It has horror elements but it wasn't a full blown horror movie from start to finish. There was some unsettling and creepy parts but I never felt truly scared. Nic Cage and Maika Monroe were both great, the actress who plays Lee's mother in the film was fantastic, she was absolutely creepy. But it definitely a type of movie that you need to see twice, it demands that. So I am definitely going to be seeing again but this time alone at home. I just came out of the screening couple of minutes ago, so the movie is very fresh in my mind but I just... I don't know, I need to sit with this movie for a bit and think how I feel about it, because there were stuff I really, really liked and then there were some other stuff that I would put under a question mark. That's why I think it necessary to see it twice. I can say that I think this film should have been either longer or a mini-series, a 1 hour 40 minute runtime is not enough to tell such a story I feel like, there is quite a lot that is left to viewer's imagination, a very ambiguous ending. I don't hate the ending but I do wish we got a conclusion, it felt like we will be getting Longlegs 2 or something... but either way, I can't decide fully on how I feel about this film, I will say I did like it more than I did not like it, but I don't want to go in the details because I am not 100% sure if even the things I did not like I truly don't like you know? But it definitely was an experience that I overall enjoyed but at the same let down by few things, I did feel like it needed to be longer at the very least and the jumpscares were weak... absolutely weak to me. But I will still recommend for anybody to go check it out for yourself, especially like I said before if you are fan of these type of movies (Silence of the Lambs, Seven or Zodiac) then this could be a good time for you. I will say this, this film is definitely also not on par with Silence of the Lambs or Seven in terms of filmmaking, storytelling and etc etc... It definitely pays homage to those films but at the same brings an interesting unique twist to the movie which I did really like. So yeah, go check it out. I feel like this movie is going to be very divisive, some people will love it some people will like it and some will straight out hate it, it definitely a more of A24 type of horror/thriller flick. Also, Nic Cage's performance was definitely something... I did not know how to approach his character... but eventually he did get under my skin but I can see some people straight out laugh at this character because of how ridiculous he is in this. Even I smiled couple of times because Nic Cage was having a lot of fun in this one, oh my oh my... He was chewing every scene, the interrogation scene definitely is going to be a memorable scene from the movie. Gosh, I went on a huge rant.. I need to chill, but at the moment it very hard for me to rate this, I need to wait a bit until I can truly comprehend what I just saw.
That feeling of being ‘scared’ from that movie after watching it is a feeling I’ve been waiting for, for a horror movie for quite a bit tbh
3:03 I haven’t seen it yet but I’m intrigued… if a horror/thriller movie sticks with you this well after it’s over and your back home, that’s usually what makes a good movie in my opinion. Even tho your review is different then what most people are saying, just having described how it stuck with you and came home with you really peaks my interest to see it more.
I had the exact same experience! I was struggling to not fall asleep and that’s rare for me.
My BOY Chris always be telling the truth man! I thought the trailers was wayyy scarier than the movie. I can't believe people are calling this a MASTERPIECE already???
Agreed
Facts, movie wasn't that scary
@@Thefittrackit was 5/10 they said nic cage was gonna have a big reveal. Where was the reveal?
I haven't seen a scary movie that's "scared" me since I was 6 years old. There's more feelings to a scary movie that make them good IMO. Unsettling, eerie, tension, atmosphere etc. Movie was awesome
Wasn't much a big reveal to be honest
great film! support little films in theaters.
I really think when it comes down to marketing, people need to manage expectation because critics and regular viewers have a different minds when it comes to the movies rating, there are some movies also where the critics rating high and audience scores is low.
How did they not reference the psychic abilities again? they literally explained how she got the abilities at the end?!
So you thought it was satisfying introducing an ability that is never used past the opening and only just explained last minute where it came from?
I was on board. Then I was kinda like, ummm. I was cool with Cage's performance, but it was telling me a few different things that came across as confusing. Ultimately, I was left with questions and underwhelmed with the mystery of it all. The reason for the story that they landed on was meh at best. Thanks for another great review, Chris! Keep up the good work, sir. #GeeSawThat 🤘🏿😁👍🏿
Great review!
***Spoilers***
They do bring up the psychic thing at the end. It's the demon telling her where to look due to her doll having the entity and still being in tact. Once her mom blows the head off she loses that ability. They show the smoke leaving her before she faints.
Hey 3C, can you remove the transition sound effects or use them less than half as much please! - find it quite distracting
I’ll take that note to my editor! Kinda agree
Similar experience. I’ve seen most horror movies this year later in the evening opening weekend and longlegs was by far the most packed crowd. The only other movie I’ve seen this year with as many people was Dune Part 2 which is extremely impressive to me that this many people are coming out to see the movie.
I’m used to sold out screening at Disney Springs on an opening weekend, but even the smaller theaters in Orlando area were sold out. I was surprised cause Maxxxine didn’t even sell out anywhere in this area.
That said I loved it even into the reveal. I think the movie does a great job at showing you something supernatural is happening early on through the main characters psychic abilities. So by the time act 3 came around I had already suspended my belief. I also felt I didn’t need it 100% spelt out because it was more about the effect of these things. Thematically there’s a lot there which I can see going over casual viewers heads.
That said I do think giving even 2 more minutes to actually wrap up the story would’ve been helpful. The third act did feel rushed compared to the rest. I also think it would’ve been more effective if the final scene showed more. I know it’s probably a budget issue, but after seeing the horrific aftermath of all these murders, when we finally are at the murder scene it’s surprisingly tame. My guess is it was a budget issue here .
Saw it last night!!! Fan-f-ing-tastic!!!! I dunno, I think this movie and “Late Night w/ the Devil “ are both so awesome, and make up for 4 movies last year! The First Omen, In a Violent Nature, MaXXXine, TV Glow…( I haven’t seen the last one, but people are talking abt it!)
wow, i thought where the movie led near the end to was the only good part of the movie. it was the only part i was feeling somewhat scared and uncomfortable with. the rest of the movie tho… it was okay, i’ve seen better done with criminal investigation shows that was more horrifying and scary, whole episodes even 😭 but SAME HERE, person next to me said “well that was disappointing”
I agree with you, the ending in the living room was unsettling and disturbing
This is the only review of Long Legs I’ll watch before seeing it, but this is a little sad to hear as I think the value of your opinion is super aligned to mine! Hopefully I end up enjoying it!
Watched this one twice. The second time was more unsettling, as all of my hyped up expectations were gone. As for the psychic abilities, I took it as if it was connected to the doll, and I noticed, particularly during the second viewing, it popping up throughout the film
I agree with this! I liked it, and the cinematography and sound design was utilized perfectly, and the acting was top notch. But story wise, when it was all over, I was still hungry. Lol! I wish the film would have learned more into either realism or supernatural than it did, but I felt like the balance it struck wasn't very effective. The most terrifying part to me was something that the film just sort of glossed over, and I wish it would have been touched on just a little bit further, because it would have made for a great "omg, no way!" kind of reveal.
That said, I enjoyed it and will probably watch it again several times, but there were portions of the narrative that needed a bit more work.
Just got out of it. 😮WOWZERS! Nicolas Cage made it a comedy to me but that's just because I'm sick6
😅 The fact that it's just getting started isn't exciting to you Chris? It's a new movie setting up the future I'm happy to have ushered into our reality
Such a good movie! Definitely enjoyed it Maika Monroe knocked it out the park! Nicolas Cage brought the ruckus! Alicia Witt was fantastic 🍿 🎥
They definitely overhyped this movie by calling it “scariest movie of the decade” it’s definitely not that it was average at best a one time watch for me not something I’d go out of my way or pay to watch again
Bro it was said like a joke in passing 50 out of 50 ain't bad still could be psychic 😂 you lost me in that one it was basically explained she knew all that from childhood trauma and because she had a connection to the doll her mom freed her from .
I feel like this film really utilized Nic’s Cageism’s that no movie has done before. When he started singing I laughed initially, but as he got more intense with the singing the music and sound started to get as intense as he did. It had you like “haha Nicolas Cage…. Oh god Nicolas Cage..”
Edit: I take that first statement back, Mandy definitely did the same thing with his process of grief in the bathroom
That was the nickname my old gym teacher gave me back in middle school. He also enjoyed watching me, and giving me the old review as well.
The problems you say the movie has is just lack of thrill, but true horror movies are not supposed to be carried by thrill. It is the combonation of dread, scenic depictions that invoke true fear within people, and music. A thrill is a nice touch but ultimatlely optional. True horror comes from stripping the viewer of comfortability and sense of safty
great vid as always... i see you have an editor now. Should let them know that the "swoosh" sound effects are too loud. They kinda get annoying/take me out of the video
People have been hyping up this movie for months now which is why I was interested in watching it but now I think I’ll just wait for to come to streaming.
I came back from the theatre and I loved it!
So crazy seeing how far our boy Cris has come
As a longtime Horror fan, I loved Longlegs. I really appreciated the atmosphere, sound score, and acting. Maika, Nicolas, and Blair acted phenomenally well. For my wife and I who watched it in theaters- 10/10. Highly recommend
I’m surprised by how much I loved this movie. I do think the marketing was a little too exaggerated, and I knew a lot of people were going to be left underwhelmed based on what the trailers and everything said, but I really did love it. I work at a theater as a manager, and I’m surprised by how many parents are bringing their kids in to watch this movie, it’s almost fitting
I agree the movie had great sound, but the movie was kinda boring. I never really felt any tension or fear. Forgettable film.
I think your way to harsh with that f rating because I know lots of general audiences that loved this movie and if they didn’t they liked it enough to be more than a damn F💀
I have AMC A-List, which let's you watch up to three movies a week. I've seen 32 movies this year already and 51 last year. So I learned about this movie because I saw the trailer a bunch of times before several movies. But I never got the feeling it was anything major, just felt like one of the other movies they play the trailer for a bunch of times. So when I went to reserve my ticket opening day I was surprised to see it sold out. It's sold out for the next few several days. I was legit surprised until I watched this video. I was completely unaware of a viral marketing thing.
