Longlegs | Movie REVIEW

[@davidsantacarla]

Sir, Oz Perkins absolutely has a strong name in the horror genre.

[@RenGeekness]

@@davidsantacarla please listen to the comparison I make in the video, in this context I'm only saying compared to a Steven Spielberg (for example), exaggerating to make a point and all that. I know he is a name, hardcore movie fans know him, but not for general audiences

[@RealBradMiller]

People not into movies won't know him like they know Cameron, Spielberg, or even Shyamalan. Not yet, anyway.... First movie I watched was I Am The Pretty Thing... Slow burn of a movie... Which terrorized me for months afterwards. 😂😂😂 Love the atmosphere he puts in his films.

[@rustyshackleford6035]

@@RealBradMiller I Hated I Am movie but I loved the Black coats daughter so am worried about weather I will love this or not I have to go see it for Nickolas Cage however

[@badlilkitty96]

Yeah starting with who his Dad is. lol

[@VivaciousOM]

“Imposing sense of dread,” is spot on, Ren.

[@silphiumforever]

Spoilers. The second the two FBI pulled into the neighborhood at the beginning I knew Agent Redshirt was a dead man. This movie was extremely predictable, and worse: it actively gave its "secrets" away at each and every earliest opportunity which removed all suspense, or interest for that matter. The psychic schtick lasted approximately as long as the scenes it was introduced in, and was then almost completely ignored. The characters all seemed to be on the same quirkily half-speed overdramatic wavelength which made all the performances blend together. The exceptions were Detective Supervisor Man who was completely boilerplate until the end, and NicC who was as ridiculous as his costume. When they ultrasounded the doll brain Satan mcguffin was a real eye rolling moment too. I give it a 3.2/10 and a Hail Satan for the artsy cinematography and a couple of subtle, fleeting images. Save it for a cold and dreary night at home maybe? Or not.

[@ChannelZero1031]

"In a violent nature" was the slowest burn of all burns. I hope this is not like that.

[@alexhein6386]

Yeah bad script writing

[@crystalshaw8744]

Ikr. All that damn walking.

[@jimfaust6342]

Walking: the movie 😂 Writer - how can I make walking scary? Gory? Let's make a cheap rip off of Friday the 13th and call Jason Johnny. Then waste the last 20 minutes when the last girl goes in the truck with the lady and nothing happens after that. Johnny gets his necklace thingy back.

[@JohnNoir8911]

@@alexhein6386 no bad script writing was maxxxine

[@lostinthereel]

Fantastic review Ren! This is one of my most anticipated films of 2024, if not my #1... so, it was so great hearing your thoughts! Can't wait to see Cage doing something so different, even for his standards

[@junivali]

wait oh my god off topic but your ellie williams tattoo is GORGEOUS

[@RenGeekness]

@@junivali thank you so much, that's very kind my friend 🙏

[@hesprus]

Oz Perkins bleeds style... I mean, I loved "February" (The Blackcoats Daughter) for it's heavy and distinct creepiness that lurks just out of sight, but you're aware of it. "Gretel and Hansel" was also crawling eeriness. I am very much looking forward to this! I love the marketing of the picture. So far this year, I think Abigail, The First Omen and Late Night with the Devil are my favorites.

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

For them to have a phone number, on a billboard, is FANTASTIC marketing.

[@nox5870]

Seeing it this Friday, definitely excited!

[@AdamGee8]

Nobody wants to go with me 😂 they question how I could want to see a movie like this so badly. think I’m gonna go opening night solo screw it. I haven’t seen a movie opening night in packed theater in 15 years.

[@BCo313]

I’m going solo opening night and am hyped!

[@Will313J]

One percent agree, This movie was more silence of the lambs than a horror film. 8/10 but never felt any chills at all.

[@thomasrockmanjr.3175]

You're the most articulate, knowledgeable, and insightful movie reviewer whose videos I've watched on KZbin.

[@RenGeekness]

@@thomasrockmanjr.3175 that is so kind, thank you for sharing such words 🙏 I strive for it and hopefully can keep putting out videos of that quality. You genuinely made my day, thank you

[@crystalshaw8744]

Love your review. I have seen some reviews that are as long as the movie. Thank you.

[@Darren-sn4ki]

For me this film is going too be the scariest film of 2024 I’m even terrified just type this

[@GS-yu3jf]

Great review again. Will watch.

[@DonovanGG__]

Some people are saying its one of the scariest movies in years. A couple people are saying its not scary at all. I don’t even know what to think now.

[@amandainkfingers]

@@DonovanGG__ it was horrible. Just saw it and I’m still so confused about the hype. I really don’t get it. It’s very very bad

[@DonovanGG__]

@@amandainkfingers was it scary or weird? Or was it just a “Nope” situation where all these critics are gassing up a boring movie?

[@amandainkfingers]

@@DonovanGG__ I jumped once in the first 7 minutes, the rest was just boring, too many plot holes, not scary at all and eye rolling cringe. It was trying entirely too hard to be deep and suspenseful but just seemed poorly executed. Especially the last 40 minutes or so. Everyone in the theater I was in was just talking and not into it at that point

[@aresgalamatis7022]

Listening to all these reviews, I expect a "silence of the lambs" directed by a competent person, not only rellying on the stellar performances of its cast... I will find out this weekend. Oz did February which was so creepy and that netflix disaster, that still managed to capture liminal atmosphere that still haunts me.

[@badlilkitty96]

Not his Daddy Era 😹😹😹💯 It's true tho.

[@lifewriter7455]

Anywho; I really didn't find Longjohns such a good movie. And Nicholas cage isn't scary. At all. 😎🖤👍

[@ZuberiMcClinton]

Can you explain more why the plot wasn't that good ?

[@DreamingJaguars]

Can’t wait for this👌👌👌

[@ritvikyourdad]

Will I be able to handle it if I could watch se7en?

[@RenGeekness]

@@ritvikyourdad yes

[@ritvikyourdad]

@@RenGeekness I actually wanted to ask you cause as a teen I’m fairly new to these murder mystery noirs, I’m more into the light hearted and positive stuff but I’d be down for this as well.

[@RenGeekness]

@@ritvikyourdad more than fair my friend. I don't know that this is "entry level horror" into that darker territory. But see it as a challenge, never a bad thing to broaden our movie watching horizons. Curious to know how you felt about it

[@ritvikyourdad]

@@RenGeekness yee, I’m not weak of heart, just hope it’s disturbingly fun.

[@luistrad]

Ya quisiera ver LONGLEGS

[@thenesquik2699]

Just wondering, there’s any supernatural? I have some friends interested but they don’t like supernatural movies.

[@RenGeekness]

@@thenesquik2699 Yes, but I would say it's more alluded to rather than it being "in your face" about it

[@thenesquik2699]

@@RenGeekness gotcha, thanks. So it’s not like hereditary. Hopefully my friends decide to go see long legs

[@MaxwellKinghorror]

Just found your channel I also review horror movies I enjoy your style man Keep it up 💪🏻 P.S just subed 🤘🏻

You lost me at "daddy era"

[@aidenpatterson5610]

I wanted to love this movie. I was not impressed.

Better than black phone or no?

Lol the black phone was 2 stars tops

@@cademacleanYT I found it better than Black Phone personally

Man. Black phone was so bad. No offense.
