My mom & I saw "Longlegs at the theater a few weeks back & to our surprise we both loved it. And my mom is usually not a fan of horror movies, but she took an exception to this one as it reminded us of "Silence of the Lambs" "Manhunter" & "Hannibal", although Lee Harker is more Will Graham than Clarice Starling. Nicolas Cage is at his absolute wacky best here as Longlegs, although Longlegs has more in common here with Tom Nonnan's portrayal of "The Tooth Fairy" in "Manhunter" than he does Hannibal Lecter. Also, Sabrina Spellman herself, Kiernan Shipka makes a small, but pivotal cameo that will sed shivers down your spine. What makes this more effective is that there are no jump-scares, no loud crashing noises, no style over substance. Just good old-fashioned slow-burn suspense. And it was actually scary. A true horror classic. Its' success is well deserved.
