Atom User Reviews for Longlegs
It was so boring, no motivation for the killer, why was he named long legs? Why the cryptic writing? Nothing gets explained, the plot is lame and honestly not scary at all
This movie might go over a few people heads, but if your a true horror fan you’ll understand the art. Definitely going to see again #Datenight
Terrible!! It was a huge disappointment and a waste of time and money.
This movie was absolutely amazing from all aspects of filming and acting. The hype from the marketing team truly paid off. Finally a good horror movie that doesn't rely on gore/cheap jumpscares. Uneasiness follows you every second of the movie while also making your eyes stay on the screen. The acting was incredible and the main actress did such an amazing job. She stole the show from Nicholas Cage in my opinion. I definitely will be rewatching this more than once!
The hype is justified. To be frank, I have a hard time taking seriously anyone who poorly rates this film, says it is overhyped or not scary, etc. Do not take this film lightly. It is easily one of the scariest movies EVER made, not just of this decade but of all time. There is a degree of subjectivity here, sure (and thus I recognize that not everyone’s experience will be the same), but I cannot take anyone seriously who is outright dismissive of this film. I am an amateur film aficionado and horror buff, have watched more horror movies than I can count, including many deemed some of the scariest or most disturbing ever made, and this one stood out to me. I do not scare easily but this left me genuinely and deeply unsettled. It is scary in every way a film can be scary, or close to it, and intense throughout, with many unpleasantly memorable moments. Do not take kids to this.
clearly goes over peoples heads but if you pay attention you'll like it
So slow!!! And horrible ending…
complete garbage
Please don’t waste your time and money. Save yourself the energy, honestly. The worst movie of the summer!
Fell asleep 3 times. Weird movie
Poor build up, weak character chemistry, missed opportunity for something great.
Boring
terrible twist
Ick Factor!!
🗑️🚮
Took to long to get to the point I feel like it could’ve been explained faster
You might not get jump scares, but definitely some images in this movie that are gonna be hard to get off my mind. I liked it and thought it was creepy.
Not what you're expecting in a bad way
Rotten tomatoes audience score will be <25%
Plot held itself back, great potential, at times insufferable.
I really FBI movies but this one wasn’t for me.
I watched the whole thing and feel like I somehow missed a lot. wtf
Bring your own pillow, might fell asleep
The silence felt in the theatre was a testament of the movies power. Everyone was focused and on the edge of their seats. I left the film feeling uncomfortable
The point?
A little overhyped but very creepy visuals
Wanted to see it for Nick Cage. More boring than my high school algebra teacher!
Such a boring movie ! The theatre seats were stuck on heat mode! So I left my back was burning up
Bamboozled
Great movie, just couldn’t take it serious with the michael jackson hee hees
This movie was the worst movie I have ever watched in my entire life. The movie wasn’t scary, just weird. Didn’t make a lot of sense. Put me straight to sleep. If I can give it negative stars I definitely would. Do not waste your time and money.
Movie was amazing loved the visual fx and the casting was great with amazing acting loved every single part of the movie
Scary as Hell!!!
This movie had me peeking through my hands and on edge mostly throughout the whole movie. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it. We definitely felt that it was very unsettling and it stayed like that throughout the whole film. I don’t feel like the movie was hard to get or hard to pay attention to at all. I felt engaged throughout as a big horror film fan.
Hella creepy but a good movie overall
Run!! (The Worst)
lose of time
Best nap iv had in months
it would have been better if it focused either more on moster horror or murder mystery horror. instead of a poor hodge podge of both. the special effects we decent though
It definitely was creepy, but I think if people paid attention more they would see that there’s more to the movie than just the plot itself. I wish it had a different ending though.
Started great, ended poorly.
Everything was good ending kinda ruined it
man gdf
It was good i was expecting more ….
absolutely trash
Pointless movie, not really a lot of substance to it. Wish I had the time back that it took to watch this poorly put together movie.
i felt every emotion during that movie.
Way too demonic
Camerawork and editing is fantastic but this film is a big “nothing burger”
I went with my girlfriend as she was dying to see it. We both were bored and it seemed like the others in the theater had the same thoughts. I wouldn't recommend this movie, save your money and see something else. This wasn't horror, it wasn't scary and it was so slow .
Metacritic
What’s clear is that as a stylist, Perkins is at the top of his game. Maybe even the top of anyone’s game. As a storyteller, he’s either a bold innovator or just slapping dream logic onto old-fashioned pulp.
As chilling and stylish as it is, Longlegs is a frustrating pleasure.
The horrors, like Cage himself, are largely kept off-screen for much of the movie’s duration. Yet with its eerie soundscape and sepulchral visuals, Longlegs nevertheless succeeds as a deeply disconcerting experience, one that burrows into the brain as insidiously as the innocuous means its villain employs to disseminate his evil.
