Let’s find out what the critics think to give it a 100%.
Director Osgood Perkins ups the ante here, impressively combining an FBI investigation film, peppered with the possibility of supernatural occurrences, with straight-up creeping horror.
Nicolas Cage’s new film, Longlegs, is Perkins’ signature aesthetic at maximum volume, lingering in your thoughts, under your skin, and in the pit of your stomach long after it’s over.
There are moments when Longlegs feels like a movie you’ve seen before, but with an evil filter over it: this is both a weakness and a strength, as Perkins’ horror surrealism makes the familiar strange and the strange familiar.
Nicolas Cage’s new film, Longlegs, is one of the best and scariest films of the year, without a doubt.
Longlegs gets under your skin and stays there, immersing you so deeply in the repulsive and uncomfortable nature of evil through terrifying imagery and a tactile atmosphere that it is unbreakable.
A masterpiece. An unholy and terrifying confluence of high art and anxiety, a film in which every frame is a nightmare, and it is beautiful.
It’s as if Oz Perkins’ cinematic freak-fest was forged in hell by Satan, who brought it as an artifact to our world as a gift.
It’s the scariest horror movie of 2024, a movie that gets under your skin and may never come out.
The pure horror experience we were waiting for. It’s easily the scariest movie of the decade.
Nicolas Cage’s new film, Longlegs, is released on August 2, 2024.
