We camehere for Nicholas Cage, of course we did, and he does not disappoint.
It's a fine looking and atmospheric movie, but the story and the characters are not quite so well construed, and overall there's a tendency towards predictability.
Perhaps some of the issues emerge from blending the FBI procedural with the supernatural horror genre, not really to the full benefit of either, and there were times when I found myself asking 'what exactly is at stake here?'
When we were watching Twisters recently, we did get snagged on one small kink in what was otherwise an smooth experience: "Did they eat the pizza?" In contrast Longlegs is kind of packed with such "Did they eat the pizza?" moments.
