Warning ⚠️ Some of what I'm about to bring up may be considered as *Spoilers* I personally don't but I'm sure some will so just keep that in mind before going forward..
Let me start off by saying I enjoyed 'Longlegs' I actually enjoyed it quite a bit but this movie is definitely not for everyone so if you are going into it thinking you will be watching Silence Of The Lamb or Seven 2.0 you will be sad mistaken and probably end up hating the film.
Longlegs is a bizarre slow burn film about a serial killer calling himself Longlegs (Nicolas Cage) that appears to have the ability to kill his victims without ever getting his hands dirty sort of speak (Mansion type killings). FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is assigned to investigate these unsolved murders that may or may not involve the occult. Agent Harker also discovers she may have a personal connection to the killer.
Nicolas Cage doesn't have a ton of screen time in the film but boy he is killing it when his character is in a scene. This has to be one of the most crazy insane performance I have ever seen from any major actor. I say he gives a brilliant performance but if you are not a Cage fan you will probably disagree with me big time.
Maika Monroe does a great job as the troubled Agent Lee Harker but I have to mention the fantastic performance Blair Underwood gives as Agent Carter, who is Agent Lee's superior officer and the driving force behind the investigation of Longlegs. Rounding out the main cast is Alicia Witt who gives a good performance as Ruth Harker, Agent Lee's very odd religious mother.
Like I said at the beginning Longlegs is a slow burn very bizarre at times drama. I definitely recommend checking it out but just remember the film is not a fast pace thrill ride and it's very important to pay attention at all times because you will be scratching your head at the end of the film if you don't lol
It's definitely not for everyone but if you are into these types of films I think you will enjoy it.
