Longlegs: A brief summary
A post-credit scene is used by the makers to indicate the upcoming plot developments in the sequel of the movie. But in this case, the makers took a straightforward approach to conclude the movie with no post-credit scenes.
Perkins’ choice to use a narrower screen for past scenes and a wider one for present scenes adds a visual depth to Longlegs, a traditional movie element. The runtime of the movie is 101 minutes, in which every location and scene adds a feeling of fear and suspense to the movie.
The film features Maika Monroe as an FBI agent named Lee Harker and Nicolas Cage as Longlegs, who is a serial killer. The movie will track Maika’s actions to arrest the serial killer.
The movie also stars Blair Underwood as Agent Carter, Alicia Witt as Ruth Harker, Lee's religious mother, Michelle Choi-Lee as Agent Browning, Dakota Daulby as Agent Horatio Fisk, and Kiernan Shipka as Carrie Anne Camera, Longlegs' only known survivor.
Supporting actors in the movie include Jason Day, Lisa Chandler, Ava Kelders, Rryla McIntosh, Carmel Amit, and Peter James Bryant.
Maika Monroe with her versatility to perform different roles, highlights several emotions in the movie. Nicholas’ scary and intense acting has added suspense and tension.
Oz Perkins wrote and directed several horror films before this. Some of his known works include The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) and I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016). He also directed the dark fantasy-horror adaptation Gretel & Hansel (2020).
At the end of the movie, Maika has a face-off with the serial killer, after which he and Ruth die. But the sinister doll remains as Maika did not destroy it. Her decision not to destroy the doll can be a hint that the next target in the sequel could be her. These are, however, speculations. The makers are yet to say anything about the future developments of the movie.
A good horror movie not only needs good visuals and realistic acting but also spooky and creepy music which takes the movie to another level. Zilgo has managed to add unsettling sounds and eerie silences, which are used in classic horror movies.
The combination of detailed direction by Perkins, acting by Maika and Nicholas, and sound by Zigli has made the movie receive positive reviews from critics. The film has a self-contained narrative and hence does not need any additional footage to grab viewers' attention for future developments.
Viewers can watch Longlegs in the theaters starting from July 12, 2024.
