I don't get the hype. I'm not a fan of horror but I thought Longlegs was more interesting. The acting was just typical and didn't call for anything extraordinary.

Just watched it last night, and it's been so long since I just sat there staring at nothing processing the movie after it ended. I'm pretty much desensitized to horror jumpscares, but this movie gave me at least 10 full body chills. What a performance!

Similar experience. And when we watched it again, we notice others did this too, credits rolling and they just sit there and stare in silence. Amazing movie

I really enjoyed this film. The whole thing was so tense! Instant classic in the horror genre. It feels like there's been a bit of a renaissance over the last decade or so.

As a horror fan, I’m very happy we get so many good horrors in the past years. I’m a bit worried that big studios see this success and will now decide to churn out too many low quality horrors

I hope she gets an Oscar nod, that performance was amazing!

I hope so, it would be well deserved. With Sinners and Weapons getting recognized last year, I hope this movie doesn’t go unnoticed

The little movie that could
