@sushiamg5767 its also strange how the only original, risk taking films coming out are horror. Everything else is based off something old, a reboot or remake. Horror is pretty much the only tangible worthwhile genre left.
My exact same thought. On a different more sadistic level, I wonder if Satan dangled her death in front of her. She knew her fate on some level hence the whimper.
@@billyjack8the impression I got is that the father gets possessed by the devil, the daughter is entranced by the doll, and the rest are puppeteered while being 100% aware of what's happening.
This is a movie that was made for $10 million and last I looked in the theaters (not counting streaming or when it comes out on Bluray and DVD later this month), the film has so far taken in $103 million. This is a movie that had barely any advertising. I never saw a single commercial on TV. I saw it online and saw the trailer and decided I wanted to see it.
This had great marketing. A bad example of marketing is the first omen the prequel . Movie was a surprise thought that would suck. Better marketing for that it would be a hit to. Long legs was fantastic lived up to the hype. 👍
I’ve been stabbed in a street fight before.. was a street kid and did dumb shit but cleaned up my act and I’ve never thought too much about it but hearing his wife getting stabbed after they go into the kitchen made me flashback to the point where I started sweating.Never experienced that..let alone from a movie until this..
A real horror film does not have a happy ending. This film did not have a happy ending. Harker saved the little girl but the parents died horribly. I knew something was going bad when Harker´s boss looked quickly around before shutting the door. I did not right away get the devil was the bad guy. Great acting all around.
If you like low-key atmospheric horror with a pervading sense of dread, you should dig it. If you're looking for an intricately-plotted police procedural, this probably won't scratch that itch. There *is* an investigative element, but it takes a backseat to the creepy vibes.
It's worth a watch. But, this movie COULD have been a 10/10. I fervently dislike when "ambiguity" is one of the foundations of a film. And, for this film, IT IS. After the movie, you'll have 100 questions that have no concrete answer other than, "Well, that's up for the viewer to decide!" Feels cheap & lazy.
@@Anonymous56657omggg you guys told them to STFU ?? OMG WOW YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL LMAO I WOULD LOVE TO HANG OUT WITH SUCH FUNNY AND COOL GUYS LIKE YOU I WANNA SO MUCH 😍😂😭 IM CRYING LMAO
I work at the cinema in my city. Every single person I see going to watch this, I make it clear that it's a supernatural movie, not a realistic one. They always come back happy. But when I don't say anything, they always have THAT complain about the ending. Even myself thought it was weird, that "jump" out of nowhere into the supernatural...
This movie was complex, freaky and really damn good. Mr. Cage did a great job....as he does on everything. Is there any part Nic doesn't do a fabulous job? He was fantastic in Mandy, which that movie totally blew me away...SO much so I had to go see this movie in the theatre (Which I never do anymore) and I am so glad I did. The tension in this movie was incredible and the plot was complex and interesting. I need to watch it again. All the actors in the movie did a great job....
Well I don't think Nic Cage's character was the root of the evil here. It was the devil or some sort of demon, Nic's character was just another person who basically got nabbed or corrupted, like the mom.
@stephengrigg5988 This is correct. Although Longlegs submitted himself to the devil, you're completely right by mentioning that Longlegs himself ACTUALLY wasn't the root of all the evil happening in this movie. Nor was the mom really. It was all work of the devil and he was USING Longlegs and the mom as his pawns to manipulate and cause harm in the real world.
Could be due to him mansplaining her; She won't come back because she'll be staying in the kitchen or some sh¡t. They seem to get offended by that kinda thing.
Because it went the occult route and was kinda corny. Also why tf did she not stop the husband and save her life since he obviously was gonna murder her?
@@legacy_momentsbecause she was under the spell too, that’s what she’s getting ask when she says do you have to cut the cakes. I thought the ending was great tbh. It showed an end to the cycle in a pretty intense way
@@J.D.Vision please learn the definition of mansplaining! also, no one is mad the sadistic serial killer was a misogynist it's not like they were expecting him to be a stand up fuckin guy
I found possessed Blair Underwood to be scarier than Longlegs. The way he smiles as he delivers the line about finding something to cut up the cakes with was really creepy.
One thing I hate about these horror films is the protagonist always stands around doing nothing while the bad guy gets away with their murder. They just stand there doing NOTHING. Totally unrealistic
Really the killer is the devil and he's the ultimate serial killer. That's basically what the movie was saying. It was literal cases of "the devil made me do it".
For God's sake she knew the husband was going to kill the wife and didn't shoot the doll and him right then? But waited and listened as the wife was being killed??!
That was the one thing I couldn’t get behind with this ending. They needed a better explanation as to why she just stood there, this is an FBI agent she knows how to act in a high stress situation.
That was my favorite part of the movie, because Longleg's cavalier attitude suggests that he's entirely unbothered, even when his plan didn't see it's completion. You'll notice also that it isn't a flashback, but an entirely new scene altogether. To me, this is Longlegs in spirit being so confident that he mocks his own death, saying the same last words before ending it with a saucy wink and a kiss instead of banging his head against the table because he's had his way, made his sacrifices, got off scott free, and still persists in spirit. It suggests that he knows something that no one else does, and he is unafraid because of it, which is an excellent end to an enigmatic character
The ending is better than most movies usually it goes to shit by the 4th quarter, though the chick knew the girls birthday was on the 14th and this scenario was very likely huge plot hole
Is it just me or does longlegs get younger when he’s brought to the prison? In the hardware store he seems ooooold But here he seems a little younger He definitely looks younger in the 70s But here it’s like a mid point
That`s not the point. She can`t shoot, she tries it four times and realizes, that the hypnotic works for her also. She can`t destroy this puppet, because she is from it hypnotized, too, in the moment, she looked directly at it.
I don't understand how come the fathers killed their families. Was Longlegs' "evil magic" real ? I don't get it and because I don't get it, I was left "unfulfilled, unenlightened, unsatisfied" with the ending of Longlegs. BOO !!! I do not like this movie
The fact you added longlegs being a musician makes this more sensible. Yeah, the advertising was the SHIT, but the film couldn't meet expectations on the horror even teasers made us feel. The plots so weirdly generic.
Saw it in the theaters. I never listen to reviews. I love horror movies but it takes a lot for a movie to unnerve or get my attention like that, Longlegs was the first film in 10 years to do that. Screw what reviews say, see it for yourself and judge on your own.
Nicolas Cage performance was great, but got to give credit to Alicia Witt who nailed her performance as Ruth.
It's strange how best performances seem to come from horror rather than drama these days
Alicia is also good in Urban Legend.
@sushiamg5767 its also strange how the only original, risk taking films coming out are horror. Everything else is based off something old, a reboot or remake. Horror is pretty much the only tangible worthwhile genre left.
The wife's whimper at 1:33...so chilling. It's like her deeper awareness from under her trance broke through just for a moment.

Longlegs was a satanist who basically bowed to Satan and sold his soul to him
Youre right. It does..
What’s the problem with people and this ending? I loved it
It was a very abrupt ending and a bit inconsistent with the first two acts.
Could be due to him mansplaining her; She won't come back because she'll be staying in the kitchen or some sh¡t.

Strange....yet, intriguing.

3:40 this was peak creepy and terrifying to me haha
Alicia Witt is spectacular as always.
0:32
I hated the ending and didn’t love the movie my first viewing. It’s definitely grown on me though
One thing I hate about these horror films is the protagonist always stands around doing nothing while the bad guy gets away with their murder. They just stand there doing NOTHING. Totally unrealistic
Right?? Especially since she’s a trained agent who is prepared for life and death scenarios.
quick question how i can find a sound effect like the one in minute 3:04 when the mom is touching her face

Subtract the whole demon thing and this is still the creepiest birthday of all time
OMG that was nick cage ? Wow!
How did anyone even assess this was a serial killer? The father becomes possessed and kills his family. How is that the work of a serial killer?
they only knew because of the cards that long legs left
He was framed
Really the killer is the devil and he's the ultimate serial killer. That's basically what the movie was saying. It was literal cases of "the devil made me do it".
1:31 love that part
A seriously odd film with a confused and mismatched slow plot line that didnt tie together until the last 15 minute section.
Lee : Use the cross of the gun to crush the doll
Longlegs : "Wait wha-"
For God's sake she knew the husband was going to kill the wife and didn't shoot the doll and him right then? But waited and listened as the wife was being killed??!
She was in shock. Have some compassion.
And the wife was already dead inside.
That was the one thing I couldn’t get behind with this ending. They needed a better explanation as to why she just stood there, this is an FBI agent she knows how to act in a high stress situation.
While I love horror movies, this one is not for me. I already live in a home with strange happenings. I'm not trying to invite anything in.
"and I'll do it until I stand upon the sand of the sea and I see a beast rise up out of the sea... Hail satan 👹😘
Wait a second, they didn't invite anyone to the birthday party except for Agent Harker. Does the poor little girl have no friends or something?
Maybe everybody would came later.
The evil choose family that don't have a friend or family visiting them lately. Like the other victim before.
Nic please stay to the script
Nice paint work 😅
Definitely gives off seven vibes of how it ends only it’s more modernized
When you think about it Dale Cobble hired Alia Atreides to do his dirty work...no wonder he's been able to get away with it for so long.
To crazy of a movie for me to see.
Sorry but the hail Satan thing at the end was a bit cringe. Overall good movie though.
