Re: last movie you watched
I saw Longlegs this evening, a serial killer/horror hybrid starring Maika Monroe and an unrecognisable Nicolas Cage - I didn't even realise it was him until it was over! There's been a lot of hype about this one, but it's not quite sure what genre it is, and it's not so good as its reputation. It's not thrilling enough to be a thriller, and not horrifying enough to be a horror. It IS engaging, though, and it was certainly an interesting and enjoyable watch. Sadly, the climax is signalled too clearly far too early on in the film for it to be the knife-edge moment that it should be. Still, the performances are generally excellent, and it doesn't outstay its welcome, or, indeed, come up with some daft everything-but-the-kicthen-sink ending that we get too often in modern horror. Flawed, but I'll take it over Insidious & co.
Accused of being "a nerd in his 20s." I wish.
