From FBI Mysteries to Quirky Humor in Long Legs

Send us a text

What happens when a horror film's promise of 1980s nostalgia falls flat, leaving audiences yearning for something more? In this episode, we embark on a candid exploration of "Long Legs," dissecting the film's intriguing premise of an FBI agent on the trail of a serial killer and its star-studded cast, featuring Nicolas Cage and Blair Underwood. Despite its promising 1990s setting and chapter-based structure, the film's execution left us with mixed feelings, sparking conversations about the magic and pitfalls of horror cinema. We compare its narrative rhythm to the successful pacing in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," pondering why the nostalgic allure didn't quite hit the mark.

Join us as we share our personal reflections on the film's standout scenes—or lack thereof—and the quirky charm Nicolas Cage brings to the table. From FBI deduction skills to the humorous absurdity of Cage's role, the film offers moments that entertain but ultimately leave us desiring more depth and coherence. We also touch on the religious and satanic themes woven into the narrative, drawing parallels to genre classics like "Hereditary." With a dash of humor, we wrap up by referencing a quirky Letterboxd review that sheds a unique light on the serial killer's nickname, "Long Legs," as we rate the film a modest 2.5 stars for its unmet potential.
