Maika Monroe looks out a window with one hand covering her mouth in shock in Longlegs
Summary Longlegs' big supernatural twist doesn't ruin the movie, but it does change it into something I wasn't expecting. As a horror fan, I was ecstatic to see the new Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage-led film.
Related Longlegs' Record-Breaking Box Office Explained: Breaking Down The Incredible $22.6 Million Opening Nicolas Cage's Longlegs broke records at the box office during its opening weekend, and several reasons can account for the horror film's success. It's a big reveal, confirming how supernatural elements impact the setting and story. It also came as something of a surprise, given the film's otherwise committed approach to exploring a murder mystery that only teased a supernatural influence. By revealing the devil is literally involved in the plot to kill innocent families, Longlegs stops being a grounded crime-thriller and becomes something more metaphysical and overarching.
1 Longlegs May Have Been Better Off Without Its Supernatural Twist Sometimes, Ambiguity Can Improve A Story Close One of the things I really enjoyed about the first two acts of Longlegs was the subtle ambiguity of the supernatural, especially in contrast to the more grounded aspects of the film. The little strange touches, like Lee's inexplicable intuition or the figure stalking through her home, added to the sense of unease and mystery.
