I think the same thing when I open my eyes every morning

I should have waited for the long trailer and the press tour to come out because I had only seen the teasers and was incredibly hyped for this movie. i rarely have time to go the theatre anymore and made a plan to go alone and really sink into it. I couldn’t get into it. I really like Maika Monroe and love Cage but the movie was slow and the interpretations stiff. I chalk it to bad direction. There’s parts that worked but was it horror? Mystery? A thriller? Now that they are even talking it up like it the new silence of the lambs I don’t know what to say… I found it to be super silly and kinda dumb. It also sucks that this will come to streaming soon while I’ll have to wait for Maxxxine until later in the year. that’s the other one I could have watched that day.ehh i'm the wrong person to ask as i'm pretty jaded to horror. It's more intense than outright scary imo
I watched this yesterday. I think it's pretty good but I think the last act is sort of unremarkable and the "secret reveal" was predictable. At least it has a real ending instead of something ambiguous and stupid. I think it bit off more than it could chew in terms of combining subgenres, and when you have so many disparate crazy things in your movie I think it maybe needs a little more explanation than we got, but it's pretty good. Cage is fun and creepy, though I think he'd have been creepier if they hadn't cast Nic Cage just cause of the extra-movie baggage that comes with him acting like a lunatic (if they'd gotten someone else to do the exact same thing, I wouldn't expect to see it ending up in a supercut with Vampire's Kiss scenes, I'd expect people to have actually found it weird and creepy). Not sure why he looks like Jocelyn Wildenstein, though. I don't think those plastic surgery procedures even existed back in 1971 when we first see him!Longlegs- Without really spoiling anything, I think this is one of the more creative and actually hypeworthy horror movies of the year. I have a feeling it'll become a cult classic (or at least people will meme Nicolas Cage's performance to death like they did with Wickerman). Cage chews scenery like a madman in the movie and alternates between unintentionally funny and actually creepy.
It does a great job of building atmosphere and tension in the first half. Unfortunately it then meanders til it punches you square in the face with the ending. The cinematography and framing are great, with a very naturalistic feel. The gore seems to be mostly practical effects and looks very convincing overall.
Worth a watch imo
I don't think you DO have to do that, though! Just do what DC did with the batman movies in the good old days and every few years just make one that has nothing to do with the other ones and don't even acknowledge it. Just start making X-Men movies and don't include any references to other Marvel characters unless they're going to be a character in the movie, and then don't worry about some tortured explanation for why they're there - no one cares besides mouthbreathers that watch cinemasins. Multiverse shit is horrible and I don't think anyone but the nerdiest of the comic book nerds actually like it, based on plummeting box office receipts for things like Ant-Man 3 and The Flash. Then again, everyone liked seeing Tobey Maguire again, though I still think that was just cause it was Tobey Maguire, not cause they wanted some alternate dimension plot.The whole multiverse premise only exists because Marvel characters have never been written in any kind of a straight line, so if you want to corral them all to be milked on the silver screen you need some big time narrative device handwavium bullshit.
