Unpleasant - Longlegs review by KB
Quite slow .Not really scary .Just a quite dark & unpleasant film that i didn't enjoy .The fact that Nicholas Cage was in it & was one of the producers should have given me a clue.

Bizarre and offbeat horror - Longlegs review by LC
This film was a bit of a mixed bag for me - it's well shot, and builds a nice sense of unease, and the acting is generally good. Nicolas Cage delivers a typically eccentric performance, complete in thick white makeup and fright wig - it's so over the top it's as likely to cause laughs as scares, but it's certainly unique. The same goes for the storyline, which is so bonkers that the film is probably at it's most effective in the first half, when the audience doesn't have a clue what's going on - made explicit, it's tough to take any of this madness seriously. Still, it's good to see a film brave enough to attempt something unique, even if not all of it works.

Hail Satan Baby! - Longlegs review by LW
This murky offbeat thriller is halfway grim, halfway tongue in cheek and won't be everyone's taste. The basic premise sees a junior FBI Agent assigned to help an investigation into a 25 year old series of murder suicides linked by coded notes. The puzzle is who or what is the connection? This is certainly a tale of the demonic but, unlike a lot of the genre, it isn't American fan fiction for the bible or a straight up monster. Longlegs is a moody retro thriller set in the late 90s with a focus on events in the 1970s, the latter an excuse to use T-Rex on the soundtrack. The disconcertingly wide angle camera work, eerie landscapes, darkened searches of barns and autumnal season set the mood. The whole thing makes you nostalgic for The X-Files and has hints of Silence of the Lambs and 90s David Lynch. There are no jump scares, just a deep sense of unease at the unexplained and some nervous laughter at Nicholas Cage's demented titular killer. Cage is kept in the background until the final third of the film and he leaves the audience with more questions than answers. The film ends with predictably mean twist and an ambiguous cut to credits. This feels very like if Nicholas Cage had been the monster of the week in a classic X-Files episode and it is excellent fun if that appeals to you. Hail Satan!
