The Acolyte is so bad that Alex had to take a vacation
Sheesh what a wimpy snowflake

The scariest implication I got from it was:
What if you knew the devil existed but had no proof?
The Devil is the chief problem of existence. Remove the devil, the obstacle all people must overcome at the individual level, and then there would be no reason for anyone to be born.
Out of all the movies Alex went on vacation. Was wondering how he felt about this one
Idc how hot his takes are… I only care what Alex thinks in these reviews
glad im not the only one.
he needed one after the Acolyte.
Hello test
Hello test it
She only clued in to shoot the doll after she let the wife die, killed the kid's dad, and shot her own mom in the head? A+ writing right there...
Why did her gun change and only have 3 bullets. I’m British so don’t know about guns but her gun went from a pistol to a revolver gun. She only had 3 shots ?
@@neildeeley4177it seems like it jammed bc of the curse that was still on the doll. The revolver typically has 6 shots.
Trash imo
Dude in the middle looks like Guillermo del Toro
it looks like the new delrith lol
Dude on the right looks like Jose Antonio Vargas
@@lethalexponent6 nah, not even close
He looks like George R.R. martin’s son
Dude on the left looks like Joe Biden.
Saying Hereditary isn't creepy feels objectively wrong lol. The climax of Hereditary is the most spooked ive been in theaters since its release.
Still gives me chills how a grandma just sets up her kids n grandkids to be sacrificed lol fked up movie.
OJ has some very very weird opinions 😂
Hereditary truly is one of the “scariest” unsettling films. Longlegs wasn’t HORRIBLE…but it wasn’t good.
The "Tock" the daughter gave out is enough to give creepy vibes.
Hereditary is not scary that is an object fact sorry your bar for scary is low
Why would the FBI send Lee to bring her own mother in for questioning if she was a potential accomplice suspect??
That was for sure seemed like a flaw. But they had ZERO reason to think the mom was the accomplice. Maybe I missed something and need to watch again. But they had no idea she was involved they just needed more from her since she encountered the killer as well.
@jcaashby3 I just mean why would they send an agent to apprehend her own mother lol?? Send someone else entirely.
Mind control...
@shawnhilliard watched this today. They didn't send her to bring her in. The head agent (can't remember his name/official role) just mentioned "did you know your mother called in a report of someone on her property the day so and so went missing?" (I'm paraphrasing) and she replies "no". Head agent says "go talk to your mother". They were still looking for connections and leads. Zero reason to suspect anything of the mother
@@truthsusp3ct403I thought they were talking about the part where Longlegs mentions, “ask your mother “ and then they go to talk to her after she questions him.
Biggest flaw was when she stayed in the house minutes after knowing and seeing Longlegs there. Like how do you have the balls not to watch your back when a serial killer could be behind you?
Because she knows long legs MO is to target families with a kid, not 25+ yr old single women
I think the biggest problem with the way they ended the movie is that it doesn't even "end," it just STOPS.
That is a great way of putting it😭
Lot of foreshadowing in this film that benefits from a second viewing. For example, the inverted triangle symbol for Satan? When Lee sees it in the psychic evaluation at the beginning, she refers to it as "father". That's just one example.
What’s it foreshadowing though
That was Nicolas UNCAGED
Movie was boring. Maika was great. Nic Cage is the same as he always is. The theater I was in was packed but half the audience fell asleep. I could hear them snoring. It also got a few chuckles from the ones still awake when the movie attempted to be scary. So disappointed in this film.
“Scariest movie of the decade” btw
I’ll take “things that didn’t happen” for 500
@@badlandschugsnumber1fan123 Lmao
@@localbuzzkill1760 Believe what you want
Thank you
I think I'll actually like it, because I think slowburn horror is the most effective horror you can receive, especially in a dark theater. There is so much tension building, where it's almost uncomfortable to be sitting there watching it, that is true unnerving terror. Not the JUMPSCAREJUMPSCAREJUMPSCARE bs we get now.
It’s not really a “slow burn” it’s just a film that takes its time to focus on visuals and scenery. That atmosphere and acting was great, but it’s not a film I’d watch again. Definitely could’ve waited to watch it on Shudder or some other streaming service.
@franciscofranco5739 I agree. I was hyped for this film. And it was good imo. But I agree it's a 1 watch type film. They didn't use nicks character enough for me and I didn't like the way it unfolded storyline wise.
@@joshuat5140 yah that’s my main complaint….there was a story and plot there…..but at times it was easy to forget it. I think it could’ve used a little more action/conflict….not a ton, but a little more would’ve been good.
@@franciscofranco5739 I agree fully with you. Spoiler alert ⚠️
I think I would have liked more of a serial killer from nicks character. More like a silence of the lambs type vs a supernatural aspect. The whole doll possession just wasn't something I was expecting before I watched it nor prefer that. But I still thought it was a good film and enjoyed it. I also think the promo did phenomenal for this film. Because after watching it. I'm not sure the film alone could have gained this much buzz without all the unique promo. I also can see alot of people not liking this film.
@@joshuat5140 that’s actually exactly what I thought, I would’ve went more silence of the lambs as well…..actually that’s what I was expecting after watching the first 10-15 minutes of the film.
I thought the main character was going to get blamed for the killings. Like the consequences of each death if the ending.
Indeed this could have gone so many intresteting ways but sadly the proclivities of this director are grotesqueries, Shock is all he can do for he hasnt the imagination or abilty to captivate the audcience with a true horror psychological thriller.
@@SedriqMiersI also think he’s a Satanist, because literally every single movie he’s made is about Satan 😂
Other Joe: 6
Patrick: 6
Angry Joe: 7
He would lol
Alex 1
Thanks
Dude can you please do that for every ajs video?
Amazing cinematography, great atmosphere and tone.
Abysmal story telling and plot development.
My exact feelings.
Couldn't disagree more. The plot was quite tidy and easily wrapped up with needless padding and inconsequential side-plots.
Yep my feelings also, style over substance. Yes there was a plot but it just got a bit convoluted. I think it could have made the satanic part less messy. Cutting out the whole doll thing would have made a big difference. It was just unnecessary. Also showing less of Nic Cages face like in the beginning would have been better and made it way more creepier. Once we saw more of his face it just looked fake and laughable.
I was beyond high and I thought the plot was fine lol
i don't think they should've marketed it as a horror film.. but a thriller film
It’s a horror/thriller
@@mattcollins3591 they blasted horror movie of the decade all over the place not thriller
@@rvidxrray3961 ‘they as in a movie reviewer. If someone thinks it’s the scariest movie of the decade, it’s the scariest movie of the decade.
People who saw it were saying it, not the studio.
@@mattcollins3591 The marketing campaign was scarier than the whole film.
@@dhmc45 ok? That’s cool. Not once was I even scared in the movie and still enjoyed it so lol
Movie was interesting in the beginning but once it started delving in to the super natural it just becomes another generic horror movie with you guessed it the devil was behind it all, like that hasn't been done like a million times 5/10, 5 for the first half of the movie
Yeah that was my complaint too
Yup the supernatural shit ruined it so hard
What were you expecting? The trailers had more than enough supernatural and satanic themes in them.
@@NaruneWatercrest I saw satanic but the supernatural ones seemed more ambiguous. I only watched one preview so that’s probably why. I was probably just hoping for more. The plot twist was just so predictable too and that explanation revealed in the movie is so unnecessary because it was already easy to understand what was going on
Yeah imo, it would’ve been more interesting to have left it as a serial killer film
My take.
Not scary, everybody in the cinema laughed. Particularly at Cages parts. It really is a Beautifully shot film. Every scene looks good. The story is a bit hit or miss, I personally enjoyed it but can understand those who didn't.
They did no favours with the marketing, particularly those claiming it was the scariest film ever.
The carrie Ann scene with her weird children of the corn acting had me dying 😂
I think people should DEFINITELY go out and see this movie if your a fan of thrillers and horror movies. Throughout the whole film, there’s so many hints and little details that they throw in to hint at what’s coming at the end. 9/10 personally for me. Surprised the guys didn’t like it more??
Great movie
I understand the complaints, and I mentally blanked out in the satanist magic. That shit is overused. But the first two parts before the supernatural crap were GREAT.
I really wanted to love the movie, and like the one guy in this video I loved the first 3/4 of the movie as it was amazingly well crafted and shot and just oozed atmosphere and dread. It was not scary, but it was a really good detective thriller... Then the third act happened and it was no longer a detective thriller. This might be the type of film to benefit from multiple viewings, so I will see it again simply for the beautifully framed shots and to see what I missed, but I know for a fact the average moviegoer will despise the last act and ending.
Can you tell me what hints? I was looking everywhere and only find one.
@@KillbotSw I don't know the hints, but apparently you can see the shadow of the devil in many scenes in this movie. I only seen him once, but apparently he is in many other scenes too playing hide and seek.
I’d say worth my time. Disturbing, different, great cinematography
i havent seen people talk about the hidden imagery in the movie. went to go see this film with some friends and almost every single one of us caught a glimpse of a goat head or some demonic image hidden in the dark corners of the frame. finding those things out for myself was what creeped me out the most!
Yep , I counted about 5-6 appearances , I was on lookout and searching for it in almost every scene. First one in the movie I believe was in the cabin on the phone. It happened really quick.
SPOILERS
My question is why did Lee’s mom have to kill that last family after longlegs dies? Couldn’t she just destroy Lee’s doll’s head so that she wouldn’t be possessed and be done?
Lee literally asks her this and her mom states that because of her pact to Longlegs, she has to continue the killings (at least for as many of the families he made dolls for before his death) or they'll be condemned to hell and Lee will no longer receive her psychic powers and continued protection.
She made a deal with the devil so her daughter wouldn’t have been sacrificed
@@WeeabossVA That's a great explanation brother
Another question, how is she gonna continue Longlegs’ work if he ain’t there to make any dolls & imbue them with satanic power
Too much mystery doesn’t make it intriguing especially at the point where nothing gets revealed and it leaves u feeling like what’s going on
And it feels like that cuz there’s so many scenes that felt out of place becuz of how random it was and had no added detail to the plot
And once the reveal happened in the last 10 mins
It’s just like all that burn to reveal just that?!
As far as performances
The main girl was just too weird to me for no reason and I suppose they explain why she acts like that in the end but It doesn’t stick for me
Nicolas cage to me acts like straight up Nicolas cage.. hard to explain but I swear I seen him act like this several times so to me he’s character came out as just goofy and not creepy. Only thing creepy was he’s makeup
Hit the nail on its head man, there’s no motive for anything, what does Satan get from these killings, why was longlegs chosen for it, what are the mechanics of the rituals? Nothing is explained
@@joelpujols4761I can explain Lee acting so weird and emotionless; it’s because the dolls take away your ability to really feel anything because it’s essentially stealing your soul.
The balls put pieces of Longlegs’s soul into the girls. That’s why he’s so manic; he’s feeling the emotions they don’t have anymore.
@@harmonlanager2670 yeah I know I said they explained it in the end but it stick for me
It was a slow burn and that irritated me after a while because even though the tension was building, Lee and the other actors wouldnt change with that tension they kept the same pace throughout all the acts. It took away from the sense of urgency even though you could tell things were coming to a head. Its also what contributes to the feeling that you could predict what was going to happen next. The characters were so "unresponsive". The movie wasnt perfect but it was good and original in a lot of ways and worth a watch this weekend.
Yes! That’s the perfect description. The characters acted like nothing else was going on. The closest thing was when Carter pushed Harker on what she knew.
I literally walked out because it was too slow. I stayed for 90 mins and couldn’t take it anymore
@@29CLOUDZ I understand. Sitting for that long was uncomfortable for me
@@29CLOUDZsounds like attention span issue
@@thirdlionproducer4392 more like shit movie issue
What if it’s not actually Patrick but Alex wearing Patrick’s face. And Patrick is somewhere wearing Alex’s face. Like in Face/off. Nicholas cage and John travolta did it. Why not Alex and Patrick?
Yes I think you are correct 👍
No this is PATRICK
This seems like a comment longlegs himself would write
I feel like the reason some people don’t like the end is bc the pacing doesn’t match the rest of the movie. Feels like it’s one reveal after the next. I think the movie could’ve benefitted from an extra 30-45 minutes to be able to maybe dive a bit deeper into the paranormal aspects of the story
Not only is it a slow burn, it also has so many layers to peel to truly understand it all. Captivating in my opinion
I’m literally as artsy fartsy as I gets and I’d love to know what layers because this movie was hollow to me
as deep as a puddle
@@aaronadams4657 😂😂
Lmao watch more deeper movies this movie was bare and no layers at all
As captivating as watching paint dry on wet and windy day.
Watched last night. First half great, then it dropped off hard for me.
Agreed. The whole movie should have been grounded in reality. When it went "supernatural" it felt rushed and tacked on..
@@radiopadillabut why? What’s wrong with the supernatural? It’s literally a horror/thriller movie…
@@MM-jc7uv The supernatural parts felt way too tacked on at the end, similar to a lot of several A24 "horror" movies, especially how the MC's psychic abilities played almost bo role in the story.
@@dhmc45 she doesn't have psychic abilities, she's being manipulated by longlegs/demons
@@MM-jc7uv the on the nose "Hail Satan" was a bit urgh
The movie was incredibly slow. It didnt help that the film basically had no music. maybe like 5 minutes of the film had a film score. I think a better composer would've helped it a ton.
Long legs had plot armor issues. If you look at the FBI's agent's firearm she sports a postol after she wakes up she has a revolver.
Glad someone else caught that I was so confused lol
@@TalkToMeQA78 her pistol was more than likely taken. She finds a revolver in the basement? Can’t remember. The plot more than likely considers the firearm switch as more symbolic than anything.
Or production began closer to revolver scene, and they didn’t want to reshoot after choosing to give the character a semi auto pistol half into filming.
@@naughtynicholas Possible.. symbolic maybe.. but as a viewer with a hawks eye it's more of a disconnect than anything else. The prop department has been in the view of the public eye before. The Rust movie or The Crow movie oversight always comes to mind. It makes me wonder who's in charge and how accidents happen.
I assumed it was taken from her and the mom gave her the revolver with only enough rounds to kill the father, and her and possibly the doll…. BUT she took 2 shots to kill the Father instead of one head shot to each and last one would be the doll.
All FBI have a second concealed firearm. It was hidden in her boot
Even after watching this whole video, I still have no fucking clue what this movie was about. There was a doll...
Yea it was super disappointing . watch Arcadian with nick cage . its way better
a who done it with a bs explain away lame excuse of a metal ball imbued with devil psychic powers embedded inside a dolls head that has a life like resembleance of the child the devil wants to possess. Its only saving grace was Nicks performance the drawn out needless scenes made the movie way too long and would have been cut by 40mins or more.
Not worth it, wait for to be on TV free.
Dude Hereditary was one of the scariest movies I’ve seen and I love horror movies. That shit was terrifying, I don’t know what OJ is talking about 😂😂😂
Cap. Go away.
Nah. Interesting story, and creepy sure, but was not a scary movie until the very end. And even then it wasn’t anything crazy.
Facts Hereditary the best horror movie of the last 15 years for me. U say Hereditary bad then aint shit for us to talk about
Plot makes no sense but it has a creepy atmosphere. What was the point of the notes or making the pentagram with the dates? Why did he leave that evidence? What was it going to accomplish if he killed all of his victims and made the pentagram? If you're really anal about plot holes or things making sense, you won't like this movie. However, if you enjoy atmospheric horror and don't get so caught up in the plot being sensible or logical you can enjoy it. It's like you're exploring someone else's nightmare, things happen and they are creepy but it's not something you can make a whole lot of sense with.
Good director. Should have let someone else do the screenplay
The only thing I can think of is that Longlegs is human (therefore flawed and prone to error) and like all crazy killers they crave some sort of attention/fame which is why he left the trail behind him, and it did feel like he wanted to get caught in the movie. As for the pentagram, he worships Satan the murders were constructed as a ritual/tribute to him like many killers in real life like to do, they usually have MO’s and ritualistic components. Also they’re not plot holes because they don’t contradict or conflict with other parts of the story. Maybe unnecessary stylistic choices but it’s not a plot hole
This
If Alex was here, he would say this is another "Annihilation" or "Men" situation/scenario
Wait how bad is Men? I actually ahve that movie on my watch list. Was thinking about giving it a go later tonight.
@@cardassa The "symbolism" felt too blatant while the story quite paper thin and stretched out, should have been a short film.
@@cardassai liked it but can still understand why people wouldn’t like it
He may have other mums doing it and dolls being delivered everywhere ,soon as he dies they all get activated maybe could be a sequel .
Culda been a better story with that
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie with more plot holes. ***SPOILERS***Where did the metal orbs come from? Why was he a satanist? Wtf?! The audience is expected to just accept whatever’s thrown at them and there are no rules unlike It Follows for example. Cheap
That’s nitpicky as hell the orbs are made with satanic magic using bits of the girl and him they explain that. He’s a satanist because he has trauma from the church most likely. He’s a psychopath we don’t need to see what makes him tick, all of the parts to make a story work are there you just need to put them together as the audience members.
It seemed like he bought the orb at the store with the girl who called for her dad, he was implied to be the actual devil - lot of implication but I agree it’s a bit vague.
It's supernatural horror. The Devil affects everyone. The Devil can't be stopped by the protagonist, hence the gun jamming. Not everything needs to be explained. It's a genre blend film.
@@eazymethod01the revolver didn’t jam it was out of ammo
Were the visions of snakes symbolic? Or was it a flashback? I wanted that explained more clearly. I understand the symbolic reference, just confused.
Lol you brought back your homie Mr "Like"
😂 Patrick's favorite word is like. Drinking game - take a shot every time Patrick says "like"
This would have worked a little better as a mini series. Definitely need more than one watch to grasp
I enjoyed how similar the vibes were to certain parts of Alan Wake 2
As Nicholas Cage fanboy, I have two framed pictures of him in my house, he made this movie worse in that role
I normally like a nice slow burn that u can catch little details in and pick apart. But this one had me sleeping in the theatre.
THIS THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!. I didn't fall asleep at all my last 10 or 15 times in the theater. I legit fell asleep twice on this bullshit
I didn’t think it was a good movie at all. It was ambitious and I commend them for being original with how it’s done but that doesn’t mean it’s good. It wasn’t imo.
i thought that was Guillermo Del Toro.
It isn't?
So longlegs review came as fast as i could. Wanted to know if this good or not!
It was great. I just got done seeing it. Go out and see this.
Just another satanic movie that shits on religion with a bad ending.

You guys could include Patrick in the reviews permanently imo
Basically everyone's mad that it wasn't Silence of the Lambs when it was trying not to be that movie while also influenced by it.
Hopefully most people dont overrate the crap out of it like most fans do on most horror films
Pretty much the whole theatre hated it. I hated it. It started with both feet running and then horrible dialogue, cliches and a supernatural element that didn't need to be there
@@smac1684I hated this shit and it’s funny that Joe says you wouldn’t like it if you like blumhouse stuff. This is just a dumb blumbhouse type movie with a really nice coat of paint on it
@@aaronadams4657 Blumhouse movies like Sinister and Insidious are WAY more entertaining than this. At least they don't hold out on the actual scary stuff for 3/4th of the runtime and absolutely speedrails its plot into a train crash on the last quarter.
@@dhmc45 exactly
The second I saw "scariest horror movie of the decade" I knew It was gonna be average at best
Just seen it. Whack. Seem far more weird Japanese and Korean films which are genuinely unsettling. Felt like it thought it was being more psychologically weird than it was. The lead girls 1970s overdone I’m weird facial expressions were pissing me off too
I really enjoyed it- but I also am there for Cage being bonkers. I got bonkers cage. I was okay with the ending, too.
You got him for three different scenes. They ripped us off.
@@OldSchoolDudeGaming just looking at the trailer I could tell he would be on-screen for around 5 minutes total
You guys need to watch the Japanese movie Cure! It is from 1997. It’s a similar story but much better executed in my opinion!
Saw it last night was okay. Thought it was slow but the idea was cool. Nicholas Cage was great but I think it kinda just ended right when it got creepy
The sequel is going to be called Shortarms (not my joke)

Movie was definitely hot trash. The longlegs character was a fucking joke and the plot made no sense the entire movie. Felt cringey and predictable for a "horror" film. The acting was terrible and forced. Lmao in one part there was a fbi agent telling longlegs to get down on his knees in the most cheesy non threatening want to be 90s cop way with no gun out pointing to him like he was in timeout 😂 1/10 for me. Don't believe the hype! This review was definitely paid for or he was riding meat to the fullest on Nicholas cage.
Long legs is awful. The characters aren't interesting the plot makes no sense and nic cage is practically a cartoon character in this. The movie doesn't make any sense with the method of how long legs does the killings. It's a 1 out of 10 for me
Not gonna lie, Old Naked People are fuckkking scary lmfaoooo....
Good God I love Patrick's shirt
"Longlegs" I assume it's about spider and I can already feel the creepy crawling legs
It’s not
@@Bhutchin09 oh good I can watch it
@@snakeeyesvolley8178 lol yeah I just went today. I went in completely blind. I enjoyed it enough. Worth the watch but wasn’t anything to write home about. Hope you enjoy it
It’s the name of the serial killer, and just like the rest of the movie it doesn’t matter because there’s literally no reason or explanation as to why he’s called Longlegs lol.
I found a daddy long legs in my wardrobe while watching this
IDK. I liked it and it keeps getting better the more it sits. The more it sits with me the more I feel I need to see it again to see hidden threads. It def has to be viewed twice.
Love you guys - I’ve been watching for 10 years - you’re the only review I’ve seen so far that actually asked “So, what would you have wanted to happen instead at the end?”
Longlegs more like long breaths . I wasted my money on this movie . I give it a 5 /10
personally loved the film. definitely not scar but definitely creepy. felt like I was being watched the entire movie, especially with all the hidden/ not so hidden devil cameos.
I fell in love with the movie’s atmosphere, cinematography, and imagery while watching it. I loved it so much that I would have preferred if it just stayed in the serial killer pocket. Instead in leaned into the supernatural in a a sloppy way. Sucks, it had some potential to be great. Still applaud it for originality.
I loved LongLegs. Absolutely creepy and amazing acting with dark foreboding and haunting musical score. 10/10 for me.
Obviously Alex’s replacement wants him fired. Such a revealing shirt.
This movie felt very over hyped. "Scariest movie of the decade" is quite the marketing ploy when it doesn't even come close
The director apparently doesn’t want this movie to be compared to Hereditary, and apparently doesn’t watch modern horror movies (besides the one just mentioned apparently) but he was clearly influenced by it. The occult stuff, the long shots that linger, the wide shots with space behind the character where things could be hiding. It’s a shame people can’t make anything original anymore.
I genuinely liked the movie, I have grown out of the same jumpscare movie genre and now into the ambient, completely uncomfortable, creepy analog style horror. I prefer a 'everyone looks wrong, like they don't look normal and something is going on' rather to a 'omg a ghost tossed a ball across the room'. I think a VERY unappreciated movie that heavily depicts this is Resident Evil welcome to racoon city. Especially the beginning aspect as to when everything just started turning bad.
This is real horror. Horror is NOT just what is going to jumpscare you, but what makes you anxious, on the edge of your seat and constantly feeling uneasy. I won't say this is a perfect movie by any means, though it is definitely a lot better and more complex than what a lot of people give credit for... I assume likely most people who dislike the movie are probably those who think all horror movies are supposed to be scary, or are too confused by the plot (or unable to be imaginative and realize there isn't supposed to be a sensible storyline...). It is quite literally an uncomfortable situation unfolding without any way for you to control it. That is what I love so much about the movie.
I normally don't like this kind of story but I ended up really enjoying the way it was done here. There was plenty of clues throughout the film they made it pretty clear what was going on but it didn't feel forced.
Movie was dark from the symbolism,numbers and all this other occult stuff. The metal ball in the doll head acts as a conduit for the devil like what the Annabelle doll was to that evil spirit and BTW the OG Annabelle makes a cameo in this movie. 🍿
Yeah Im at a 6 or 7 as well. This really could have been good. But they messed it up. It's just not scary enough and it's not good enough. They had all the pieces to make a really scary movie. They didn't achieve that.
Hereditary was one of the scariest movies I had seen in my life. I think Joe might be overlooking some of the creepiness. Like how a Woman sacrificed her children for a Demon, it not working then the next Generation completing the Evil work, with the Grand Children. It was deeply disturbing for my taste.
Honestly, it felt like dumbed down Blackcoats Daughter, similar themes and more explaining. I would recommend watching his previous work “Blackcoats Daughter” and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “The Cure”
Felt like a mix of both
Saying something is bad because it’s a slow burn completely irks me lol it’s called a story. ADD generation
I really like slow burn movies but this was just really poorly written, there’s no payoff, there’s no real explanation or overall motive for the killings.
SPOILERS!
I enjoyed the nostalgic 70s into the 90s aesthetic with the film. recognizing everything from the cupboards to the carpets of those homes continually reminded me of my own childhood but in a unsettling way. The film's narrative centered around children and so perhaps just for me personally that added to the sense of dread. That combined with the most off putting music I think I've ever heard in a movie i was simply unnerved the entire time. I also think Nicholas Cage did a good job playing an absolute weirdo satanist. The way he was constantly manic and sang things randomly while looking like an absolute train wreck was effective. The twist with the mom may be fairly predictable but I like how Longlegs needed a nun to do his bidding since he had been attempting to get the dolls inside Catholic homes for a while but because he was such a freak people told him to kick rocks. I don't remember if the movie outright explains it but I took his invasion of the main character's home when she was a child as him getting fed up with being refused and taking advantage of them being isolated and vulnerable. He needed the mother to pose as a nun to get the cursed objects inside the homes so that he could operate the dolls from inside using satanic magic. I enjoyed that he was a classic satanist taken to a violent and horrific conclusion in that his ritualistic killings were rooted in blasphemy. Some satanist teachings are that to blaspheme against God is to make a mockery of all that is good or holy to commit atrocities that fly in the face of the very concept of ethics or morality that is understood by western/biblical culture. The brutal slayings of families is truly horrific, the very nature of it is an affront to God. He was obsessed with Revelations 13:1 which is about the many headed beast wearing crowns etc. 13 plus 1 is 14 so girls born on the fourteenth the nine circles of hell so nine year old girls, etc. The sound design was perfect, the way Longlegs would continue to increase the pitch of his voice while screaming and then it tied into a high screech musical note or score or whatever you want to call it left me feeling gross. The ending could have been perhaps a little better just based on how the story unfolds real quick but I dont know how to make it better honestly. You have to explain some things to the audience or else you risk being so vague that its unsatisfying. So all in all I don't really mind the movie just taking a minute to show its cards in a flashback when the main FBI girl passes out. Sometimes thats better than asking the audience to watch the movie five times to figure it out. I would give it a 9 out of 10 and put it in my top ten of the year so far. Maybe on the lower end of the list but i'll have to think about it some more.
I thought the metal spheres were cool. It made me think of Twin Peaks the Return. It would've been even more goofy had he done a voodoo chant over the dolls like Brad Dourif in Child's Play.
Patrick dude says “like” so many times. It’s only his second word of every sentence, and third and fourth and fifth
It was a lazy ending. Basically blame it all on a stupid witch crafted doll so we don’t have to explain how long legs and the mother killed their victims without touching them. The rest was great.
Definitely worth a watch for Nic Cage alone, but the atmosphere, sound and feeling of overall dread throughout is something that really made me feel uneasy. Might not be for everyone but if you love a genuinely creepy slowburn then this is one of the year's best
Everyone who enjoyed the movie loved the cinematography and atmosphere. Not a memorable movie. The story took a huge backseat to the rest of the film
@AngryJoeShow why haven't you guys reviewed Three-body Problem yet is it because of Weiss and Benioff ?
given that the books are a little different there Netflix adaptation is still very good and i wish more people with a platform would review it :)
I wonder if Nick was her father. That could be true.
I was expecting that.
Movie was beautifully shot, well acted, and a creative story. L take from these guys.
Just got out of the theater and I liked it. Would recommend horror fans check it out
The bar is low so low even the ants cant go.
The movie is ass bro I would be terrified and Nothing would happen wtf bro this shit was ass I give it 3/10
i gave up on the movie when the explanation for why lee never saw longlegs or his car at her house EVER IN HER WHOLE CHILDHOOD was because magic orb.
If you look close after both shotgun blasts the passenger door slowly opens etc....
I love how bleak the horror is. Not being able to understand certain things is what adds to the fear for me. I love Junji Ito for this reason. The fear of the unknown is arguably the most common fear.
Just watched it, loved it. The long shots, and the length some scenes held made it eerie and creepy.
I thought it was really good right up until the last 3rd. I did like the suspense in the MC doing detective work and learning how this Manson-style killer works with his own system, and it's a lot more interesting when we're led to believe she's an outsider in all this. But yeah as the movie goes on and the beats are revealed everything was just too perfectly explained? And on top of that, the creep factor throughout is amazing but it isn't _ that scary._ So after everything occurs I'm like, "cool, how's she getting out of this?" the movie's over. And after you learn Longleg's killing pattern, you see the FBI Chief with his family and you can already assume what's going to happen WAY early and it just becomes a matter of when
Movie was ok at best. Some of that marketing was misleading. And Idk how the main character got through half her life let alone became a FBI agent she acts weird as shit and is bad at her job.
Longlegs was great! It's all atmosphere and tone, so it's not as detailed as Fincher or as crazy as Aster, however it's a good inbetween.
leaves it open for a prequel - the story of the dollmaster
This was an Evil Satanic Cult Movie. Fucken loved it.
Watching this alone at night will definitely summon evil shit into your home.
7/10 story was unique enough but also straightforward. Nicolas cage is entertainingly creepy.The cinematography is good. Though it leaves you wanting more by the end of the movie. 🔵
It seems like people these days have forgotten what makes a good movie.
High quality dialogue, good casting, interesting storytelling and believable acting. Of which this movie had none of that.
The only positive parts of it was the cinematography and sound design (other than the parts that tried to make the audience deaf) other than that it was pretty terrible.
The high pitched jump scares were more grating and annoying than scary. Jump scares do not equal horror or anything of that nature.
The parts where Cage decided to break out his new singing career were completely unnecessary and uncalled for. Making the serial killer, or whatever he plays, that strange is more cringe than Oscar worthy acting.
The script was awful! She’s an FBI agent and she’s afraid of her own shadow, that’s completely unrealistic for an FBI agent. She has absolutely no facial expressions, her mouth doesn’t even seem to open when she talks, no people skills (that’s what pissed me off the most) she’s an FBI agent for Christ sakes, and she can barley interact with her superiors let alone a child. Pathetic.
The story made very little sense, mainly because of the minimum dialogue and then one big segment of EXPO dumping near the end.
Why did the doll take control of the children/family?
What was with the creepy horned shadow that appeared throughout the movie? I guess it was satan… “hail satan” COME ON, what a ridiculous line.
I’ve never really enjoyed Nic Cage, I think he’s overrated and over acts most of his roles. He might be a great guy in real life, but his style of acting is completely cringe and oozes egotism, like he thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Comparing this to an amazing movie such as Silence Of The Lambs is a disgrace and shows the lack of knowledge of what elevates a movie from bland crap (this) to a classic, well cast and high quality production such as SOTL.
Couldn't have agreed more. Movie was god awful!
@@Tymoney-yr1hqfor real! I an actually saw it twice in order to give my best assessment of it… I have the free movie club, so I didn’t pay for this garbage.
I couldn't get past the prosthetics. The story fell apart pretty quick. There wasn't any logical reason for any of the actions. I was pretty uncomfortable the entire time, but the air was off in the theater. When you need to explain how it all fits at the end, it just shows how disjointed it was in the first place. There was a Neon preview for Cukoo...that looks great
I might actually want to see this film. I generally like movies with a supernatural horror twist. It's even more promising that Joe and the crew did not like it as much. We seem to be at the other end of the spectrum from each other when it comes to movies. Although I did like Hereditary... hmm... I think I will wait for it to stream. At least that way I won't be directly thinking about how it cost me to watch it at a theater to bias my view.
