Movie Review: Longlegs

, a nerve-racking and dour excursion into diabolical and gruesome terror. His films feel like a reaction to the recent trend in horror that posits the monster is more interesting than its victims – an idea that is often a crutch for weak filmmaking and worse character development. Even when Perkins’ protagonists find themselves sliding slowly to become the antagonist, it’s true, seeping, simmering, seething evil that is the ultimate threat, pervasive as fog or the smell of rot under your nose.

The “who” is not the issue, as Perkins reveals Longlegs in an opening flashback to be an unrecognizable Nicolas Cage . It’s the “how” and increasingly the “what” that’s the real focus as Perkins scatters breadcrumbs before Harker to examine through detective work and supernatural leaps of logic.
