For the new horror movie "LongLegs" the one standout is the perfect environment for a movie like this. Dark depressing town, every house has dark walls, always either raining or about to rain. The character Longlegs is played by a completely unrecognizable Nicolas Cage, who must have had hours of makeup every day to get him to look like this horrific mass-murdering character.
The depressing reality of the life of an FBI agent who has to investigate horrendous murder scenes, see autopsy pictures, and deal with mass murderers like the one represented in this film. After seeing this movie, it makes you wonder why anyone would want to be an FBI agent with a job like the ones depicted in this story.
The main character and FBI agent is Agent Lee Harker, played by Maika Monroe. Monroe does a good job at playing a shy, slightly autistic, genius crime investigator with her boss Agent Carter played by Blair Underwood in one of his first movie roles in a long time. The entire story is weird, involving devil worship and a series of hand-made life-size girl dolls that lead to a convoluted and insane ending that does not make enough sense to provide a satisfying conclusion.
The Rotten Tomatoes critics rating of 87% is too high, with a more correct 65% audience rating that I agree with. This movie is a pass, despite seeing Nicolas Cage in the most insane makeup I have ever seen.
