I didn't pick this up when I watched it (probably because I was really high - I don't recommend it), but apparently Longlegs used to be a glam rock singer in the 70s and his deformed face is the result of multiple botched cosmetic surgeries from back in the day. It also explains his smatterings of theatricality. I actually didn't like this movie at all so I'm an odd one to be relaying this, but knowing his background does make him a little freakier. Without it he just seems like Nicholas Cage being weird again, but knowing more about the character makes him feel more alive. They should have made it a bit more clear in the movie.
@@StageFrightReaction For horror specifically? I have pretty thick skin so it has to do something pretty crazy. Martyrs comes to mind (the original). I hesitate to recommend it to anyone because it's one of the most disturbing movies ever made, but it really stuck with me and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days afterward. I say watch it if you have a VERY strong will and strong stomach because it is a masterpiece, but it's one that should come with a bright red warning label. On the completely opposite end of the spectrum if you haven't yet you should watch a couple Hayao Miyazaki movies because they're beautiful, brilliant and they make your entire soul smile. They're the perfect way to counteract the nihilism you feel after watching a bleak horror film. My Neighbor Totoro is the only movie that ever made me cry from happiness. It's one of those pieces of art that feels like an act of kindness from its creator.
Oh lord. I honestly cannot with "martyrs." I wasn't ready. It goes into the category of, "films ya never really wanna see again." Thanks for the suggestions!
@@StageFrightReaction Yeah I've wanted to have a long conversation about that movie with someone for a long time just to help get my own head around it, but I hesitate to recommend it to anyone I know too well because of what they might think of me for it lol.

It was kinda of "grandpa's eyebrows."
Meaning: all over the place.
But, still scared me quite a bit!
What are some movies you have found effective?
