I quite enjoyed it! It definitely thinks it's more than it is though. It thinks it's an A24 Silence Of The Lambs for the 2020s with a splash of True Detective Season 1 for good measure. It's more of a feature length X Files monster of the week with Nic Cage enjoying being Nic Cage. I bloody love a good X Files monster of the week though.

Apart from the colour palette and sense of unease/dread (before it all went Scooby Doo) I thought Longlegs was pretty dire. Anyone seen it? The dialogue was abysmal and WTF was Cage doing? Joker? And soooo many jump cut huge bass notes. Nah.
